"Oof!" Exclaimed Rin, being hugged by the taller, and much stronger Nozomi. "Geez Nozomi, you're still into those kinds of hugs? You silly..."
Hugging her back just as tightly, Rin sighed. "I missed you. I'm sorry I haven't been there for you, Nozomi. It must have been a long, terrible few years for you."
Rubbing Nozomi's hair, she said, "Look at you, you're a head taller than I am now. I'm... still fourteen. Funny how that works, doesn't it? After you left that place, everything just slowed, stopped, quieted down. It was like, time didn't matter anymore. No one really gave it much thought. But..."
Rin smiled, brushing a lock of hair away from her friend's face. "I'm glad that you managed to see the world around you. But look at yourself. That clear spark that was your bright light? It's all muddied, there's so many colors, twisted and impacted into your soul right now. It's... hard... to look at. It's bright, and dark at the same time. Like a burning nova, it's too bright."
