Can't use the healing magic on myself, so. [ Claude shrugs then winces with immediate regret. Apparently that action's tied to whatever's happening with his ribs and certainly didn't feel great at all.

Mine were of other parts of my past, but they didn't make it into the Horizon like this. [ There's a vague gesture of the dark around them, Freikugel still putting out enough light for them to see by despite it being a distance away. ] This part hasn't happened to me before.
