2. Fear
Quistis slides out of bed in the middle of the night to curl up in the middle of Irvine's bathroom and cry, because at this point, she can't help it. She wants Seifer of all people to be there, to hold her and let her sob on his shoulder. She misses him. She's terrified she isn't going to be able to see him again, to talk to him like they used to.
She's terrified that Seifer is really dead.
There's a knock on the door and she wipes her eyes with the back of her hand, streaking mascara across her face and certain that she looks as hellish as she feels.
He doesn't say anything, just kneels in front of her in nothing but a pair of idiotic boxers, his fingers lifting her chin and his eyes too understanding to be sincere.
