[ somewhere in the new areas, you might encounter a familiar-looking young boy. bright-eyed and face without a hint of a scar or mask, just a polite lil french lad. he looks just a little nervous, but he pushes past it to approach you ]
Excuse me, Monsieur? My name is Yves, it's nice to meet you. [ polite! ] Um... have you seen a taller sir that looks a little like me? Though his hair is longer and his eyes have a blue pupil. A Reliver! You see... I am looking for my grandfather. If this is on our way to Heaven, I am sure he is here waiting for me.
[ this is shaking him to his core. what is HAPPENING. laurence stares at him for a moment, a thousand questions swirling through his head, before remembering he should at least try to answer. ]
Oh, um... Nice to meet you? [ help. ] I haven't seen anyone like that, sorry.

But maybe we can look for him...?
no subject
Is that okay, Monsieur...? I don't want to take up too much of your time...
no subject
It's okay, I finished up what I was doing already. [ ... ] You can call me Laurence.
no subject
Thank you. You're very kind.
no subject
he doesn't think this grandfather will be anywhere they can reach but. who knows weirder things have happened in heaven. ]
Your grandfather... What kind of places does he like? We can start there.
no subject
Flowers! Grandpa loves the flowers more than anyone, so he is probably taking a walk.
[ assumes... ]
no subject
...What're you on the way to Heaven for, exactly?
[ a little young for that, isn't he? ]
no subject
Probably the fire...?
no subject
There was a fire?
no subject
[ quietly, even as he tries to remember the vivid flashes of what he just saw ]
I was trying to help a little girl... I hope she got out okay...
no subject
I'm sorry. For you and all those people.
For what it's worth... I haven't seen any little girls around here. She's probably alright, back home.
no subject
It was scary... but I'd be happy if I could've saved just one person.
no subject
I think you must have. So maybe going through something that scary is worth it, if only for that.

[ assuming they are toddling around the gardens, yves will perk up once he sees the white and pink spider lilies blooming somewhere ]
Oh, there...! But their color is different...
[ the ones on yves's halo are black, after all ]
no subject
You're used to... what, red and black ones?
no subject

no subject
But that's why a lot of people hate them... but Grandpa always took me there anyway. They mean a lot to him.
