I did my best. In the end at least Ruby....


Now it really is in the hands of the others. Even if the last thing I could do was to buy Ruby time.I'm so sorry, Jeane.

[ You are getting a bone crushing hug Pyra so brace yourself.]

[She's trying not to cry. She really really is trying. Squinting those eyes. But contact with her team mate and thinking of what team JNPER must be going through is making it impossible. So down fall the tears.] I'm so sorry. I didn't mean for any of it to end up like that. I just wanted to protect everyone.

But you're okay? And the others? [Please say yes so that it wasn't for nothing.]

[ Don't worry Pyra, Nora's not gonna let you go anytime soon.]

Y-yeah...I mean...physically at least.

But don't be sorry! You were amazing! You're a hero!

You're my hero.

[reluctant_destiny]

[She's not going to try and break free anytime soon. She's just going to collapse into Nora's hold and let someone else be strong for a little while.]

Good...

I'm no hero. I couldn't fulfill my destiny. But maybe you, Ren and Jeane [her voice cracks on Jeane's name] will.

Did we at least stop her?

[boop_pancakes]

Y-yeah...she's done for.

[ At least Nora hopes so, not like she can say for sure. Still what's a little lie to sooth a lost soul?]

I don't know how much I believe in destiny, but I know I believe you're a hero. And you have been since before I met you!

And I'm not the only one who knows that.

[reluctant_destiny]

Good. [Now there's a look of genuine relief.]

I didn't need to be a hero. People treated me special my whole life, but I was always alone. Until I became a member of team JNPR. All I needed was you guys. That was enough.

[ Aw no, here come the Nora tears. Gripping her back tighter.]

Well you were special to us, and not because of who you thought you were supposed to be.
