I kept silent for a few seconds to let it sink in.
Alyssa slowly nodded, a small smile on her face. Yolin was more surprised, and I noticed she had a worried expression.
Lapia spoke first.
"I had my suspicions." she smirked. "When you told us your trial was in Hell, I questioned your knowledge. Did you learn things from a demon? I doubt it. While you Halves are ignorant, you're more like an empty shell as far as I know. How come you know of atoms, music, and art? Where do these preconceived notions, like what a relationship should be, come from? Now I get an idea why. My guess: the world you lived in was similar to ours."
My eyes were wide open.
"How come?" I asked. "I mean, I don't really talk that much."
"Really, Natasha?" the Elf raised her eyebrows. "Why would you be surprised by our culture if you don't have a previous world-view? When I first told you about Gods, you didn't ask what they were. Instead, you were surprised there was a 'living one'."
