In the early hours of the morning, black smoke appears in the Death Void, taking the shape of Cole in an instant. He stands over Death. “Give me the fucking funny computer head's soul.”

"Why should I?" Death asks.

"Cause I’ll strangle you if you don't.” Cole pauses. “And you owe me one"

"Fine, fucking take it.” Death hands Cole Sparrow’s soul.

Cole takes it and smiles. “Thank you dickweed.” Cole dissipates into black smoke, taking the soul with him.

"He always does this.” Death sighs. ---

In Harmonia’s living room, black smoke appears and takes the shape of Cole as a sewing kit appears in his hands. Cole leans over Sparrow’s body and stitches their head back on. He then shoves Sparrow’s soul back into its body.

Cole can hear and see the body begin to take shallow breaths, the screen is still off.

Cole snaps and a laptop appears. He plugs in the cable from the computer into the laptop.

It asks to turn on before accessing files.

Cole hits yes and he can see the screen turn on, displaying the 3 dots as the files show up the same as before. Sparrow brings a hand to their screen.

“I’m sorry they did that.” Cole shuts the laptop and unplugs it.

Sparrow stays laying on the ground as it feels its neck with one hand.

“Do you want some water?"

It lays there.

Cole shrugs and snaps as the laptop disappears and Cole dissipates.

Matilda comes into the living room. "Hello?"

Sparrow stays laying down with a hand around its neck.

"Would you like some water?" Matilda kneels down beside this... computer-headed person.

It takes some deep breaths before going to sit up, using its hands to keep the weight of the computer from pulling its head back to the ground. It looks over at Matilda.

"Are you OK?" Matilda asks.

Sparrow stares at them as it lowers its hands from the computer head, its hands are a bit shaky.

"OK, just... nod for yes, and shake for no, alright? Can you understand me?"

It gives a faint nod.

"Would you like some water?"

It nods slightly.

"OK."

Matilda stands up and goes into the kitchen to get some water for them. Soon she returns and kneels down near them again, giving them the glass of water.

It takes the glass and pours it into the vents in the back. There’s a spark sound as Sparrow flinches. Sparrow then tilts the computer head to one side as she can hear the water moving inside the head. Sparrow sets the glass down.

"Are you feeling better?" Matilda asks, hope evident in her voice.

It nods slightly. After a moment she can hear a slurping sound.

"And what about food?" Matilda asks. "Would you like some food?"

It thinks for a moment before shaking its head no.

Matilda nods. "Would you like to sleep, or would you like another glass of water?"

It nods.

"Nod once for sleep, nod twice for water."

It nods.

"OK, good night, then?"

Sparrow carefully lays down on its back so as to not harm its neck any.

"Good night," Matilda says.
