[Lightning's voice cuts through the mayhem around him. Hope stops dead in his tracks, then spots the pair, immediately running toward them.

Light...! Lightning! [Hope reaches her, and grabs her hand, looking like he isn't sure whether to cry or start yelling again. He can't lose her. Not in this place, not ever. He can't lose anyone else.
Hope does neither, though, the exhaustion from his run catching up to him and he nearly doubles over. His breath seeps from him in ragged gasps. Who knows how long he'd been running; time tends to slip away from you when someone's in peril.]
W-what... what happened... glad you're— all right—
[His eyes dart in Aerith's direction, too, seeking answers.]
