There was no way for Terra to guess what all has happened. The situation was strange and her mind was filled with the haunting afterimage of those four imposing figures. She was sure that they'd find their way back to the hospital wing though she was more determined than ever not to go there.

As they embraced time seemed to freeze. She was sure that it passed, each second dragging into the next as usual and yet there was nothing outside of the pair of them. How many times had she found comfort and safety in Sephiroth's presence? Terra couldn't say but she was happy that she found him. Her heart began to steady and her breath slowed while her arms circled around his waist. She felt at peace, listening to the steady rhythm of Sephiroth's heartbeat.

She could tell that he wasn't angry however Terra couldn't understand why. She hadn't listened to him even though she had said she'd stay behind and stay safe. It might have been for the best. Their home might have been destroyed by the four figures if she hadn't left it and with all the memories she had tied to that building she didn't want that to loose it.

She felt the vibration of his voice before she registered what he was saying and it took a few moments longer to form a response. "I'm fine." Her voice was soft, muffled by his shirt. It took a few seconds longer before she looked up at him, her arms still wrapped tightly against his sides. A slight shiver moved through her thin form and she felt the pickle of cold on the bottom of her feet.

"There were four people. They had found me... so I ran and eventually they turned to crystal." She only knew one of them but she didn't want to say the woman's name.
