[Together is a word she can easily find strength in during the worst of times, but coming from Seto's mouth, it's more powerful. Because he understands how hard it is to be alone, knows that we can be brave together is the one of the few ways she can find courage at all.
And even with that surge in her heart, she buries her face in his chest and wraps her arms around his body. She doesn't want to deal with this anymore. This isn't reality-she knows that. But it's close enough to the one she knows from the steady flow of memories that's coming back to her that she doesn't want to see it disappear.
It was always going to vanish and she grips the back of his shirt because she knows reality isn't grounded in this fake island or the one she's going back to-
Reality is having it all vanish before her eyes and she knows it's coming in the future and she can't stand to see smiling faces leave her vision or watch her new home vanish in the blink of an eye.
Even when they're back, she doesn't open her eyes. She's awake, but exhaustion coupled with a selfish desire to just not look is enough to keep her from doing it. The only problem is she can't feel Seto against her anymore and that's terrifying.]
