[video | action open to Heimdall]

I... I don't understand...

[The small, slender Japanese girl with the high ponytail and downtilted eyes might be familiar to some. She's standing in front of Heimdall House with a newcomer's letter in her hands, dressed in the same uniform as the first time she arrived, but it doesn't quite fit right anymore - she's gotten taller since she made it, started to fill out a little. At least in Asgard, which proves that she hasn't been completely reset.

The confusion on her face starts to contort into alarm as her words confirm that truth.]

Isn't - it over? I remember Freyr - when he - wasn't that the end? But now it's like none of it ever happened... the letter, and the maid, and everything looks just like the first time...

[And now edging into panic as she leans against one of the house's walls, wrapping her arms around her middle and shivering.]

What's going on?!

((ooc: and the thing is done ;D))

[Naminé is on the move herself, everything she needs gathered up and held carefully as she makes her way through her own Welcome Hall and out into the cold air. This time of year brings a bit of nostalgia her way, too - not because she's been away from the city but because she's been in it for so long; things really have come full circle, and she remembers vividly her first few experiences in Asgard with the backdrop of cold and snow. Things were grayer then.]

Mm. [She cannot say she has ever had a parent to miss, nor that she was inclined to think much of what it might be like to have one, so she can't help feeling ill-equipped for such a discussion, but--... even she has some idea of what it must be like to be separated from one's family, if only because of the memories she's seen and the people she's missed herself.] ... I'm sorry.

No, it's okay. [She lifts her head a bit, obviously trying to look strong, and it seems to work as her voice grows steadier and calmer.] A couple of people have told me that my mom - she knows I'm okay, whatever's going on with her, and she's happy for me. I just have to believe it and it'll be true. I'm not really good with belief, but... this is important enough that I can do it.

[Naminé studies the other girl a moment, until she has to look away to make certain she's not about to trip or some such thing. Then,]

If that's the case, then... good luck. Maybe she does, in her heart. What is it that they say? A mother knows?

Thank you. [She smiles gently.] I don't ever remember... seeing or experiencing anything when I've been dead, but - maybe there'll be another place where we can meet again, too. As long as I'm believing, I might as well go the whole way.

[It's not the best joke, but she's trying.]

... Mm. [It's not really conclusive proof of anything, she thinks, but at least that also means it's not proof of anything terrible, either.]

I'd like to believe, too. [She's much better at hoping, but--]
