Too good to be true.
The all familiar voice had caused everything else to stop, the world around the siblings seemed to disappear in that moment. No longer did anything else matter, she had found her. Pushing her way through, arms were quick to outstretch and wrap around the older sister, an embrace she didn’t ever want to end. Claire was here and she was real, Serah wasn’t dreaming this time.
Crystal hues scanned the familiar face, a rise of joy sent heart beating like wild drum, smile seemed unbreakable in this moment. All fears of the new world seemed to disappear, all troubles seemed so small with elder sister here now. No longer did she feel lost or small, the missing piece was here, and maybe now they could go home.
A look-over once more once embrace was ended tried to gain answers before mouth could form them. Curiosity of what had brought Claire here, and what held her bound to this strange place. They had saved their world, and it was time to get back there. Though — where there was darkness, Lightning was called to defeat it. If need be, Serah would stand by her side this time, she’d fight with her.
“—I thought I lost you."
It wasn’t real to her until she felt the warmth that emitted from her sister warm her skin. She closed her eyes as her own arms wrapped around the frame of the smaller pinkette, and that made it all the more real.
As the embrace was broken, she mimicked her sister and looked over Serah’s face, her features soft, filled with happiness and relief. Relief that nothing had happened to her sister and that she was safe.
"You’ll never lose me, Serah. We always find our way back to each other.”
