He was dead, he was quiet aware of that fact. Had been for quite some time. Had resolved himself to a slightly longer wait in this dream-like state before rebirth.

But, for as long as he had been dead, he had never expected to see an angel. Demons, hell and punishment were all things that felt familiar. Unwanted, but home to him in it’s own small way.

The outstretched hand of an angel, their wings protruding from their back made out of silvers and a shining clear white brought him a true sense of awe. Grasping at their open palm and lifting himself up from the ground, Michel noticed absently that their hand was cool but not unpleasant. Like the balm Giselle made for the small nicks she obtained on her fingers.

“I’m not sure why you stopped to help me, it was just a fall. It hardly required divine intervention from an angel.”

He felt flustered and ashamed, but he spoke sincerely. No need to offend the divine in death.

dying on top of the world.

All you know is fire and light, for what feels like forever and nothing all at once and, oh, have you ever known fire like this ... ?

Not fire, no --- you gasp and choke --- but magma, burning a hole in you. Punched right through your chest, dripping down your front, your little brother shaking and --- 

You d r o p ---

No, you’re not there anymore, kneeling and dying in Marineford, you’re just a barely-breathing mess on a forest floor. The sunlight makes you squint, feels like a slap to the face; your head hurts and your chest hurts and your heart hurts.

You’ve seen forests, of course, and this one seems all the same. The trees are taller than you’ve seen, however, and as you sit up and prop yourself upright proper, the pain establishes itself.

Upon touching your chest, hand moving slow and languid, you find there’s no hole. Confusion touches you, but then it settles on you. This must be Heaven.

Or ... Hell, given your past, your blood.

You laugh sardonically and lay back down again.

You’ll figure out what to do once the ache and burn subsides.
