Overflow - Allura's Return

[An icy cold drops into Yang's stomach like a stone at Allura's revelation. It was bad enough learning about Salem and her single-minded desire to spite everything and everyone. It was bad enough finding out that Remnant's own Gods had wiped humanity off the planet once already and were poised to do it again if they were summoned and displeased with what they found. But it's a new sort of terrifying to think that something she has 100% no awareness of, that's so completely removed from her own world that nobody knows anything about it, could almost destroy it. Could destroy everything.

There's a scope here that she can't quite fathom, isn't even sure that she wants to try to fully understand. But it rocks her to her core, what Allura's sacrifice really entailed.

In an instant, she has Allura wrapped back up in the tightest hug imaginable.]


You're amazing.

[Her mind's still a bit of a jumble right now and that's the first coherent phrase that manages to break through. There's so much sadness wrapped up in what Allura's told her but there's also so much gratitude and awe at her heroism that it feels wrong not to acknowledge it.]

God I'm so sorry...

[It's not fair. It's not fair.]
