[ ... Lightning's silent for too long. Is Hope okay back home? The truth is... ]
He was from further along than I am-- his Brand was a lot further than mine when he got here... every single day before the Malnosso put a stop to it, I was afraid something might set him off.
[ Her voice is low, reluctant-- uneasy. Even now fear twists like a knife in her stomach. Knowing about Cie'th was always bad enough... yet now that she's had it happen to her, just thinking about it is immensely terrifying. Like it or not, that event has altered her mindset drastically.
And the worst part is, if any of them became Cie'th back on Gran Pulse, there wouldn't be any getting better like she had. They'd be like that forever, stuck in regret and painfully-powerful hatred right up until the day they wore down to immobility or something tore them to pieces.
She doesn't know if Hope is okay, because she doesn't know if any of them would be okay if they still hadn't found any sign of a solution by Hope's time, had no way of stopping their Brands or getting back into Cocoon...
As much as she's upset that he's gone too, that's what is really upsetting her: the prospect of a fate worse than death, for a young man she'd come to think of as her little brother and the others who she'd come to consider her friends and family. ]
