[ It's not lost on Aerith, the difference between the Kate tonight and yesterday's Kate. She's felt it, too, the sense of being open to receiving the goodness of the universe, the warmth of the world bubbling over with love and faith. That's what she believes in, every day, what she knows will propel them from here and now to the future, so vibrant as she believes it can be. Full, healthy, blooming with possibilities for all of them. The starlight touched rays that cast highlights over Kate's face, still holding onto it's baby fat, feels like proof of all the good worth fighting for in the universe.
That is the power of Tanabata, she supposes. The love they all found while here. It is dire straits, and yet, they thrive. It's like the slums she had come to care about, with new faces. ]
Good.
[ Her tanzaku dances with all the rest, a plea for the stars to grant the wish written upon it.
Standing side by side, she waits for... nothing, really. She takes in the moment. Aerith thinks it's enough for the time being.
When it seems like the silence has settled in comfortably, she slips Kate a business card— the florist has no name, but she's a smart girl. She knows what Aerith is telling her. ]
THIS WASNT IN MY INBOX. IM SORRY.
