A bunch more of Kana's memories passed through Hikari, and by the time she came back to reality, very little time had passed at all. The void that was threatening to swallow everything around was retracted into herself. The elf felt two arms wrapping around her.
She turned to see Kurayami's smiling face. The elf hardly even noticed her own tears. Streaks of her tears flowed down her cheeks. The pain that Kana felt for her life was engraved onto Hikari's heart.
Kurayami held onto Hikari's head and pet her. "This time, let me spoil you, Master."
The elf buried her head into Kurayami's chest. At the very least, Hikari was no longer inside of that meeting room. No one could see her cry. There was a gentle darkness around them, quite unlike Hikari's Despair void.
