hnnnnng yes give me that angst to fluff

To Lean On

(Part 2 to "We All Need Somebody") @bluest-of-blowfishes

Nora: *opens her eyes* Am I alive? What happened? (Wait I think I remember the tower was falling and I fell? Alphinaud caught me and I let go so they could make it out) *looks around* So how did I end up in a forest and which one? My head hurts...

Azem: A Realm where nothing moves the same, a middle ground of life but not close nor far from death. This is how far I could take you without issues, yet you can't see me *waves her hand in front of Nora's voice* Not a single thing *huffs*

Nora: Am I dead? This isn't how I would see it I guess, I hope everyone made it out... *stands up and walks around* It's quite serene here, but I must not stay I have to see my friends

Azem: ...

Nora: *hits something and falls back* Wah! Is that a barrier of some sort? *stands back up and presses her hands against it* Is this a way out?

Azem: It's your choice to stay or leave, leaving takes problems though. Both sides of life must connect to return and my powers only run so far... Forgive me for I wish I could do more

Nora: *presses against it but gets thrown back* Agh! *grumbles* I have to get out!

~

Alisaie: Nothing left?

Y'Shtila: Every trace that could indicate life from Nora is completely gone...

G'raha Tia: You mean she might have... died?

Alphinaud: *curls his hands into fists* No!

Alisaie: Brother, there's no other way to explain it... But Nora may most likely be gone

Alphinaud: I refuse to believe such ridiculous lies! She's alive! She must be, Nora is strong and surely has made it out

Thancred: Alphinaud, she disappeared and there's nothing showing that she's alive I--

Alphinaud: *glares at Thancred* No she isn't. I refuse to accept it and I won't stop looking for her. I know she'll return!

~

Nora: *slams herself against the barrier* Gods damn it all! Why in the Seven Hells can I not return!? *slams her fists against it and falls to her knees* LET ME RETURN!

Azem: ...You tried your best

Nora: *sobs* I want to return and see them again... Please?

???: I know she'll return!

Nora: *gasps lightly and looks up*

~

Alphinaud: Can we look, at least once more? Please?

Alisaie: Alright let's try again

~

Nora: I wish to see my family once more... Y'Shtola... Urianger... Thancred... Krile... Tataru... G'raha... Alisaie... Alphinaud... *closes her eyes shut* Please once more!

~

Alphinaud: *looks up* Did you hear that?

Alisaie: What?

Alphinaud: Nora? I heard her voice just now!

Y'Shtola: *gasps* I found a trace!

Alphinaud: Where?

Y'Shtola: It's coming from you, you somehow are resonating with passion together! Keep going

Alphinaud: *closes his eyes* Please come back Nora...

~

Nora: *ears twitch* Alphinaud?

Azem: *smiles softly* They found you

~

Alphinaud: *raises one hand in front of him* Nora, I beg of you... Come home

~

Nora: *sees a silhouette on the other side, pressing against the barrier with one hand* Alphinaud?! *presses her hands against the barrier* My friend is that you?! Please let it be true!

~

Alphinaud: *pushes a bit forward*

~

Nora: *firmly presses her hands towards the figure and the barrier disappears*

~

Alphinaud: !

Nora: *laughing in joy as she ends up in Alphinaud's arms* It worked!

Alphinaud: *laughs and twirls with Nora in his arms* You're alive!
