When Pit opens his eyes, he does not remember. He sees Dark Pit looming above him and its all a blur, everything far too fast, far too disorientating. It's too much, too much-
Then it comes to him like a tornado whipping out of the heavens like some unholy bullet. He sits up, shocked and Dark Pit stands back with a calm and collected look upon his face. Pit knows he's not calm though- he sees how he's shaking and hears his soft, but heavy breathing.
Dark Pit moves away soon enough though, with that quick flash of teal feathers almost like raven-black and he hurtles himself off the edge. He calls to Viridi with a cold snap of his voice and she snarls back at him before retrieving him with a flash of light.
He hears it, suddenly, abruptly. Her voice. Her voice, it was her and he feels relief flood him like drinking cool oasis water in hot summer days and he knows its her. He knows its her, her voice like the bells ringing in the blow of the wind, like some calm gentle breeze.
Pit gets up, slowly, shaking, yet managing to remain standing. "P-Palutena..." He gasps, like a wordless whisper. "I've- I've missed you so much."
And Palutena smiles, he knows she's smiling with her own relief after her near death experience. "I missed you too," she responds with her golden-bell voice.
"Welcome back." She whispers softly and Pit feels himself enveloped with a golden light and he knows he's coming home. And he knows his home is broken, dull, gray, but he also knows that they could fix this damage, try and heal the scars on the world beneath.
After three years... Everything is still the same...
