-It was deja vu, all over again.  Makina could feel eyes upon her, some from a distance, others from having passed by and made eye contact.  However, the further she walked away, the more she was convinced someone was following her as she made her way further from shouting distance.  It was just as maddening the second time as it was the first.-

Not this again.

-With a wave of her arm, she pushed back one of the braids, as it dangled behind her back, drawn by the weight of the loop at the bottom. Then, she abruptly turned, to face the pair of eyes---or multiple pairs as was the case.-

"Whatever pre-conceived notion you have about finding out more about me, whether that's a simple 'hello,' or if you're here just to annoy me, you better squash it out of your mind right now.  I'm not here to make friends.  Understand?"

Darkness of Tenebris | Serah and Hope

Hope had seen more than expected of someone his age.  He'd seen his mother fall to her death after a peaceful vacation in Bodhum, he'd seen a full-grown man kneel before a fal'Cie begging for servitude, and if that wasn't enough, he'd seen a wholly different world in the same day, one everyone once thought to be pure evil.

Pulse was nothing like the island of Tenebris.  Just like in Cocoon, the sun shone brightly, but this place was cloaked in darkness.  Hope was not the type to get scared of the dark, but something about Tenebris just unsettled him.  He didn't exactly know what the island was like, and anyone else in his position, particularly people like Snow and Vanille, would see this as a new adventure.  All Hope wanted was to see if any of his friends were here, find out what had brought them to the island, and figure out a way to return home.

When he heard footsteps approaching, he whipped around and relaxed somewhat.  Though the clothes were different, there was no mistaking that pink ponytail and bright smile.  "Serah?  Is that really you?"  He couldn't hold back the little sigh of relief.  Maybe it was a dream, or the timeline had changed once again, but he was quite relieved to see she appeared to be OK.

"I uh, alphabet?...What?"
