Just as he had done months ago, Ardyn awakens upon a low couch in a living room, wearing linen robes, perhaps provided by a hospital, and draped in a blanket. His belongings, from the clothes in which he had perished to his blade, are set upon the table, with his signature hat set on top.

Somnus enters the room from a set of doors to the side, which opens to a garden with which Ardyn may be familiar. When they close, the scent of sylleblossoms in their bloom lingers. Spotting that the other man is awake, Somnus stills in his tracks, then takes a few steps forward. His grim expression slackens to one of quiet reserve.

This is his brother, alive ("alive") once more-- by Somnus' assistance, and after Ardyn had committed something that brought so much strife to Avalon.

"It is not so disorienting as one might expect. Dying, that is."

They are perhaps one of the few who can speak of experiencing it more than once.
