As the sky opens up and pulls me in
I can see, I can breathe, I can feel again
I can see, I can breathe, I can feel again
Soh's heart was too full to skip a beat, but it still fluttered at the touch of Koa's lips upon her hand. This was more than she'd ever dreamed possible - to be facing a bright future beside the man she loved. And in this moment, it didn't seem to matter whether or not he loved her back or if he loved her enough. Their shared love for their home buoyed her mood, bubbling forth in a cascade of bright laughter as she led Koa forward.
And for a brief moment, everything was perfect.
But then Pip trilled a note of caution, and Koa tensed, tugging her gently back towards him. His warning sobered the young woman, who turned to regard the city with a small frown on her face. Suddenly, she was all business - though she didn't let go of his hand. "Right, of course." Because it obviously wouldn't be that easy. "So we'll need to put a party together to retake the city before we can do anything else. Once it's clear, we can establish a base of operations while we decide on next steps." Like whether to rebuild the Tower, where to put their permanent headquarters, who to bring in to help them... the list was neverending, but rather than bringing Soh's mood to heel, it strengthened her resolve.
Still, if they knew more about what awaited them in the city, they could better plan - and so the Luminary peered through the Gates, looking for any signs of life.
