Thank you to everyone who helped me out during that dreadful fog, and I hope everyone has recovered from it. I think it was rather wonderful how so many of us helped each other out, to defeat our fears. The power of light and friendship is very strong here, and as long as have each other in our hearts, we will keep moving forward. It really is so good to know how deeply all of us care for each other.

... If anything, really, this whole time made me realize... how much stronger I need to be.

[There's an odd little pause at that, and her face saddens. But, trying to quell her own fears, she shakes her head, happily addressing everyone again.]

But, enough of that. Instead... well, it's not like the good Professor's puzzles, but it's so lovely to think of. Think of something, or someone, you love very much. Your friends, your family, your Pokemon, this world... anything or anyone at all. Something that is beautiful to you. Now... do you love them because they're beautiful? Or are they beautiful, because you love them?

((OOC: if anyone gets that musical reference, I will give you hugs. ~~I was this close to having her sing You'll Be In My Heart.~~))

What a sweet sentiment. The bonds of family are very important.

But, if I may ask... is that the only reason you love her? If she weren't your friend in blood, would there still be a way to be her friend?

Yes. [There is no hesitation in her tone. She's sure of this.] Serah is the kind of person that, well...it's hard not to be drawn to her.

[Dawww, that gets a big smile.]

That's so lovely to hear. Thank you for telling me... I know those kinds of people myself. They are some of the best in the world.

[It gets the tiniest hint of a smile from Lightning, as well. This has given her something to think on while she marches towards meeting up with Hope.]

Yeah. They are.

May I know your name? Mine is Minnie Mouse.

[She nearly says her birth name, but stops. She's not Claire again just yet.]

Lightning.

It's a pleasure to meet you, Lightning.

Likewise, Minnie. [...well, this is awkward now. It's been some time since she had to make an introduction like this.]

Is your sister with you in this world?

No. She's back home, where she belongs.

My apologies...

Don't apologize. She's better off back home.

Still... I'm sure you'll see her again soon. I've always wondered what it's like to have siblings.

[Lightning smiles a bit at this, and Minnie might be able to hear it in her tone.] It kind of strange at first if you're older then they are, but then you get used to it.

So you're the elder. I guess that makes you the guardian.

...yeah. I was. [Serah has a new guardian now.] She doesn't need me to protect her anymore.

Does she still want you too?

I'm...not sure. We hadn't talked much before...[She got dropped in here.]

I understand. It might be best to ask, the next time you see her.

Yeah. I'll ask when I get home. Or..if she shows up here. [Which she doesn't want to happen.]
