Used to unemotional people, Rydia took Mikoto's muted reaction in stride. As long as Vie was happy to be with her, that's what counted. She hesitated for a moment, wondering what to say in response, then decided that the blunt approach was best. Maybe Mikoto would be able to explain what happened, or at least piece together something they missed. "We died, more or less. It was the epitaph attacks. The other day, I awoke at the Iifa Tree and found everyone else along the way...except Vie, who seemed to appear out of thin air in Guadosalam. I don't suppose you might have an explanation for any of that?"
