Your costume is admittedly unoriginal on your part, but you really didn’t see the point in spending money on a costume when the scientists oh so helpfully provided both your regular wear... and your cruxis uniform. They like rubbing salt in old wounds.Still, it’s just different enough from the people’s everyday garb here that it works, so you’ll take it.
You go to find punch and some refreshments to soothe your wife’s sudden cravings, and find something much more surprising. Her green hair and figure is unmistakable. You drop the punch you were pouring in a cup and immediately weave through the crowd toward her, toward your old friend- alive, breathing, not trapped in a crystal or seed. It’s like seeing a ghost, but after Anna you know that it is possible- Besides Mithos, she is the one you got along with most, probably because she understood your nature better than the others, but she was always good at that, reading the minds and hearts of her friends and simply caring. It’s the reason you suspect she caught the heart of Yuan and also saw past his prickly nature, because, even when you all were still friends, he.. had his moments. Often.
“Martel-” your voice projects, but there is a waver to it, as you go to put a hand on her shoulder, meeting her face to face for the first time in millennia.
You don’t immediately notice who’s she’s with, too focused on the fact that she’s alive, not bleeding out in front of you when you couldn’t reach her in time.
“Is..is that really you?”
