i might as well be drunk in love

Sohalia

Say my name
And every color illuminates

Sohalia clung to Koa’s hands, her gaze fixed on his, her eyes suddenly solemn against the weight of what he was saying. It wasn’t right, she thought, that any of them should be in this position: to choose who deserved saving in a world where everyone did. But even a small step against the Family was progress, and she staunchly believed that this was the right thing to do - consequences be damned,

”First of all, Noe does matter,” she said in a voice that was stern, but not unkind. ”All life is sacred, Koa, and this infection…” She shook her head. ”Noe is a person, and she deserves saving just as much as anyone else. Secondly, she’s your sister, and you deserve to be able to save her. This isn’t a sacrifice that you should have to make.”

Soh paused, peering into Koa’s face to see if he’d heard her before continuing. ”Finally, if that isn’t enough, Stormbreak is ours, which means that Noe is ours. If we don’t intervene to save our people, what good are we?” Again, she ran a thumb over Koa’s knuckles, offering comfort and hoping that he would accept this decision, because Soh was determined to heal Noe whether Koa agreed or not. ”She deserves saving, Koa. And you deserve your sister back.”

We are shining
And we will never be afraid again
