Kyoko had stopped, breathless, trying to hear over the pulse thrumming so loudly in her ears. That had been her name, that had been a voice she knew, it had sounded so close--
And then, just as she'd been wondering if she'd imagined it again, everything fell together all at once. There was that flash of illuminated bleached hair, there were those achingly familiar silhouettes against the dark, there was her name again, and here was the pounding of her feet carrying her blindly down the steps.
So much for cages around her heart.
Kyoko opened her mouth to call out to them, but could only produce a wheezing sob. Never mind, she would be there in moments, her arms already outstretched, light streaming through the fingers of her tightly-clenched fist.
