[ Helios isn't sure why he didn't expect that hug, but it's almost too good to really pull away from. It helps in so many ways that he's left speechless and the tiredness he's been forcing down these last few weeks broils to the surface.

Gods he missed her so much sometimes. It was always there, but this day was the hardest. That hollow, empty, feeling one gets when they just lost someone irreplaceable. It was...hard and it was unfair, she was too young to have passed on. And yet here he was without her. But maybe, just maybe, someday he could meet her once more. It's that little glimmer of hope that makes the pain that much less to bear. ]
