It's not losing it all, if we have each other
In the end it's all, in the end it's all that matters

As Flora continued to vent, Soh rubbed small circles on her friend's back, periodically taking a sip from her own wine bottle. When they'd arrived at the hot springs today, this was certainly not what Soh had been expecting to be the topic of conversation. But now they were here, and Flora was talking, and there was nothing the Luminary could offer her friend but to listen. After all, Flora had once done the same for her, and she could offer no less to her friend in her time of need.
That didn't mean it was easy, of course. Soh had yet to decide her own feelings for Koa, and this certainly complicated the emotions that writhed beneath the surface every time she thought of the dragoon. And as she considered Flora's story, she couldn't help but feel sorry for poor Koa, who had now been rejected twice in favor of someone else. She didn't fault Flora for her feelings, but it certainly had to have been hard on Koa... and yet, Soh wasn't in a position to be the one to check on him. Not until they sorted out exactly what they were and weren't to each other.
But if he had loved Flora... maybe that told her all she needed to know about what she was to him. And what she was... maybe that was nothing.
"You can tell me anything," she promised. "I know things were complicated with me and Koa, but he wasn't... he wasn't in love with me. Maybe he could've been once, but with everything that happened..." She shook her head. "And honestly? I've been away for so long, and that made things even worse, and I don't know where I stand with him now, but I don't think there's anything romantic there anymore." Not on his end, anyway. She still wasn't sure what she felt. What she should feel.
"I wish I could fix it," she told her friend helplessly as Flora's tears started anew. "I wish there was some magic pill to take that would make it all feel okay, but... I think you'll probably feel this way for a while. Just... if you need anything, I'm here."

If we take this chance, and it falls to pieces
