Agetta does not have the imagination to be able to guess where they might be going - but if she were to attempt, it would have been somewhere in Beqanna. Even when she had felt like a ghost, things had always taken place here. The afterlife she remembers had been a shadowy version of the world she knew.
The surprise of being touched by the stranger is quickly eclipsed by the surprise of where they end up.
That time when the sun had disappeared would be positively radiant compared to the darkness they find themselves in. Agetta’s eyes try changing from equine to feline and a few dozen other options, attempting to find something that will enable to see, before she gives up. No matter how powerful he ability to see in the dark might be, there just simply isn’t anything to look at.
Almost.
“Ryatah?” Agetta whispers softly in the same instant that the grey stallion says her friend’s name. The surprise of seeing her - one of the few faces that were spared from her memory purge, saved by the grace of being female - is almost as overwhelming as the darkness.
Even when the stranger is looking at her again, Agetta still only almost understands what she’s gotten herself into. For a few precious seconds, she’s just happy that whatever she’s agreed to will be helping out her friend.
And then she gets her memories back.
They slam into her and she gasps in the darkness, recoiling from Carnage and half-falling, half-twisting away because she remembers him all too well. Everything that she has forgotten is flashing through her mind at once and the intensity of it dulls even the nothingness around them. She doesn’t notice when Carnage and Ryatah leave her, she is far too busy choking under the weight of her entire life.
Agetta had gone to Beyza to die, and now… now…
Death would've been kinder. That was why she had wanted it. It was a way to stop hurting, to stop being stretched out over more and more years when all she brought to herself and others was pain.
There are pieces of her past and more recent ones she sees with clarity. Like how Garbage had gotten his memories back of her and hadn't said anything at all - politely putting up with her for as long as he could before disappearing into the night.
Had he been doing it to be kind to her? Or had it been such a convenient scapegoat for him, a way to finally get her to stop hanging around without having to go through the mess of a break-up?
It's likely the first of those, knowing him, and it's too bad she's sure that she's stuck in this void forever because she'd like the chance to tell him he's an idiot one more time.
And that she loves him anyway.
She doesn’t know how much later it is when she finally looks for Carnage with anger in her eyes, only to realize she’s entirely alone. The only one around to be mad at is herself and, as she recalls now, she’s gotten rather good at that over the years.
Long after she thinks she should have died of starvation or suffocation, after she's accepted that this will not somehow be a way to speed her way back to the afterlife, Agetta drifts with the ghosts of her past and loses herself in the darkness.
