1: Melissa stands in a wide, sterile room. She’s facing the corner, holding her arms, in a black suit.
Melissa: Okay… okay okay…
2: She turns around. She’s dressed nice: a professional turtlenecked blouse. She’d adjusting her outfit. She looks very nervous. She has a different haircut than the last time we saw her, an asymmetric bob cut short at the back.
3: A sliding door opens to reveal Melissa: her eyes are wide in surprise as she looks forward.
4: She shows relief, slowly, and smiles, tearing up.
Melissa: …Hi.
5: Julia is there. She’s in a simple wheelchair, dressed in the hospital gown like before, but sterile and clean. She’s healthy and not mutated. Her hair is longer than ever, draped over her shoulder in a pony tail. We see Sedjet and Vidali watching at a desk, Sedjet also in a patient outfit. Julia doesn’t answer, but she smiles.
Must not cry, must not cry… damnit I’m crying.
Damn.
They all might say: “Hi, Mel. We’re all back.
we’re all safe, now. You can sit + talk with us a while.”
Welcome home. 🙂
Seeing Julia and Sedjet both smile warms my heart 🙂
I’m just glad they’re expressing different emotions (note their ear positions).
I’m not much of an expert on reading emotions based on ear position; doesn’t having the ears pointing downward usually mean something along the lines of nervousness or fear?
I think you’re right.
My guess is- he’s feeling a little revived that [he has his own body, again].
His unhappy ears maybe because, after this experience, he might feel- very relieved/tired to be in his own body…again, and also…he might be pretty, freakin’ embarrassed about his behavior in the big, spiky monster. 😀
*ahem
I mean, RELIEVED, and not, REVIVED. 🙁
… Yup, here come the waterworks. WOO!
I wonder how long Julia, Sedjet, and our new Cheetah friend have been in there for now. Concidering the incident we just witnessed, they’d all need to be put under quarantine, not to mention a whole lot of the facility would need to be sweeped and cleaned back up.
They are linked.
That’s what I was thinking. Even though they’re seperate now, they were mentally connected so Sedjet could have some of Julia’s emotions/feelings/memories mingled in with his own.
“Gods, am I glad to see you” about sums up everyone’s reaction here, I think~
This is such a *sweet* page <3
