"FUCK!"
I shot upright, eyes flying open, only to find myself in the void once more. The endless expanse of nothingness stretched around me, dark and swirling like the inside of a black hole.
A very familiar black hole.
I groaned. Oh, not this shit again.
"What happened?" I muttered, rubbing my temples as memories of my glorious death came rushing back.
"You died," a dry, unimpressed voice answered. "That's what happened."
I turned my head and—yep, there it was—that goddamn black rabbit.
The little bastard stood on its hind legs, twirling a ridiculously fancy black-and-gold cane like it was some kind of royal adviser instead of a fuzzy little menace.
"Oh, it's you," I muttered. "Great."
"Yes, me." The rabbit gave an exaggerated bow, ears flopping dramatically. "Your ever-patient guide through this utter disaster."
I blinked, then glanced around the void. "Wait . . . so I didn't die for real? I'm still alive?"
"Technically."
