Between the two attacks, her form tears apart, her eyes wide in shock.
Aubrey(?) opens her mouth to say something, but it takes a moment before anything comes out.
“...
I just... wanted to see us happy again. But...
It was never going to happen. It isn’t the same anymore. ...It’ll never go back to the way it was.”
Her form buzzes with static, before fading away into shadows. In her wake, a single item is left behind:
Daisy: Cute as a hair ornament. Wearing this will attract Aubrey’s attention, for better or for worse.
The rips in the photo remain, however - looking closely, there seems to be a room beyond the tear. And, thanks to all of the fighting, it should now be big enough for everyone to slip through. But before they do, characters may note that the light seems to shine on a nearby picnic basket set upon the grass. Inside are yummy sandwiches that couldn’t have been there before - anyone who pauses takes a bite will find their health and SP restored to full.
[ Maika stares at the space left by the phantom Aubrey before stooping to pick up the daisy in careful fingertips. It's probably not as fragile as it looks — things like this couldn't linger if it were — but just this once, she doesn't want to break everything she touches. ]
You can't. The past is already gone. You just get to decide if you're strong enough to move forward or not.
[ And she, of all people, can't promise that there'll be happiness in another form at the end of that. But she tosses a quick look at Kainé and Richard. ]
...Let's get moving. Looks like we haven't reached the end of this road yet, either.
[Richard merely nods his assent. He has nothing to say to any of this, not when the same worries and wishes swirl within the depths of his own heart. To speak otherwise would be hypocrisy and he knows it.
In a way, he's glad he doesn't have to try to answer her any longer. He wonders whether she'll be able to find what she sought in whatever place she may be now, whatever form her existence may take.
But in the end, none of that is really ultimately any of his concern.]
