Yeah, it's the same one. It belonged to my mother, so I'd know it anywhere.
[The blue glow is a little more to explain, and it's something she's still coming to understand, herself. Ellie settles, trying to figure out the words, fiddling with the joints of her fingers. Her hands are scarred, from weapons and work and fighting.]
It's a long story, but the short version is that some asshole killed a god, and everyone who comes here from another world, the Displaced, has a shard of that god's power. What that means is different for everybody, but... some people can do things like phase through objects, or be invisible, or project sounds. When people use their powers, their chests glow blue.
If you touch one us, skin to skin, you'll feel each other's emotions. You can even share memories. And when you're sleeping, you can fall into each others' dreams.
