[The words come out flat, falling out of him like they don't matter, like it isn't the worst thing that's ever happened to him. Lup dying, forgetting her, none of the other shit he's been through can even compare to how much that has hurt; he'd die a hundred more times if it meant she was okay.
He knows he needs to explain this, he can hear the distress in Cisco's voice over the fact he can't give Taako more, and he doesn't... that's not fair, to Cisco.]
She's a lich, was a lich. Like Barry but something went wrong and she never came back. It's been a decade. [Something pained creeps into his voice, no matter how hard he tries to hold it at bay.] I thought she was gone.
[But she's not. What Cisco saw is undeniable proof that something of Lup remains and Taako should be happy, but he just feels cold.]
