LR, but with older!hope.
"…Oh."
The fabric felt heavy between her fingers.
"Something wrong?"
She hesitated before shaking her head, tearing her eyes away from the uniform. It felt too new, too clean, too untouched. "No. Just…surprised."
Hope's smile was sad. "It's been a quite a while since you've worn that."
Lightning would be lying if she said her Guardian Corps uniform didn't bring back harsh memories. She can't really erase turning her back on her sister or becoming a l'cie. "Yeah. Hope I still remember how to put it on."
The fabric felt cold against her skin. Even her gunblade was replaced with a new model, and the trigger felt too stiff.
When Hope had seen she had changed, he gave a small laugh. "You don't look any different from when I first saw you."
A ghost of a smile lay over Light's lips. "Can't say the same for you."
She stepped onto the warp pad, and she almost didn't hear Hope call out after her, "Keep your eyes front. I'll watch the rear."
Not all of the memories that came with that uniform were bad, she thought.
