Course of Fate
Serah looked at her sister with pleading eyes.
"Lightning, please, can't you do anything? Please, help me!"
Lightning shook her head.
"I'm sorry. There's nothing I can do."
"Please, though, Claire! I'm your sister! How can you stand there, and tell me that after everything you went through to save me from being a crystal, you'll abandon me to this fate!"
Lightning turned her head, looking away.
"I told you, you're on your own with this; I can't do anything."
"Serah."
Serah turned to look at her husband, her protector, her Snow, her eyes large and shining.
"Snow, you promised you'd protect me! You'll help me, right? You won't let this happen, right?"
"Serah….I can't help you either."
"B-b-but Snow! You're my hero! You need to protect me!"
Snow looked away guiltily as tears began to form in his beloved Serah' eyes.
"Please, you can't do this! Snow, help me! Please!"
Snow knew it was time to put his foot down.
"Serah, I can't help you! It's for your own good!"
"But Snow!"
"Look Serah, you're going to the dentist, and you're going to get your teeth checked, and that's that!"
Serah looked at him with the trademark Farron Frosty Glare.
Lightning didn't know whether to look on approval or exasperation; finally, she settled on amusement.
