...It isn't familiar to me, no. And I doubt very much it is proper necromancy.
[no she understands exactly what this means and she's both freaking out a bit and also mad that palamedes was right about his stupid megatheorem. but she's trying not to react; she doesn't really want to acknowledge openly she recognizes anything.]
But Tuuri takes that at face value, and she looks relieved as a result.]
That's good to hear. They tried to force us to kill our friends, in order to get stronger and fight this horrible monster. But that's where the weird things happened: Itto refused to kill the person he recognized, so the creature gutted him and killed him. Then the green-haired girl woke up and started to fight. I thought he was going to be stuck in her body forever, up until he changed back to himself on the beach.
[She seems hesitant to answer that. Probably because of what she says next.]
Lavi seemed convinced that none of it was real. That it was all another trick done by hell or the demons. So he killed the person he recognized and gained the power to fight back, all in the name of ending it sooner so we could leave.
It sounded right, and I had just seen Itto die to that monster, so...I did it too. So I could have a way to fight back.
[It was a lot of pain and bleeding and was overall a 1/10 would not recommend!
But one part sticks with her.]
It was very painful from start to end, but you know, when we had to use that strange machine to fight the skeleton? Once we got past the pain and actually connected to each other, it was kind of cool to be able to share sight and feelings like that. Lavi and I balanced each other out pretty well.
That is a part of it - even seeing through another person's eyes or experiencing something through them is of a piece with the technique.
It is the ability to use necromancy to manipulate and draw energy from another living person. It is a technique often used by the Eighth House on their cavaliers - they are not warriors so much as batteries.

[She can't remember who was there, just that she loved them very much. It was hard enough when she thought she was killing an illusion.]

...anyway! Thank you for explaining things for me. It was all a really odd situation, and I'm just glad it's over with.
