I-I... yes... [Her voice was small but vaguely in the back of her mind, clarity started to take hold. She could still find Sunny... and Kel was here to help... they could figure things out later. Words that she often told her brother- whether it was to help him get down the steps in the middle of the night or to not panic when he saw a spider- flashed into her mind.
Steady your heartbeat... Don't be afraid. It's not as scary as you think. The words seemed to help her brother... coupled with that and the breathing exercises that Hero had taught them- when the pressure got to be a little too much for her- her breathing slowly became less erratic. In... out... one... two... three... and so on...
The next emotion she encountered was guilt. Here she was, losing her composure, in front of a boy who she thought of as a little brother... he didn't deserve to see her like this... she should be the strong one... She wished she could take the moment back... but life sadly didn't work like that...]
K-kel... I'm sorry...
[As clarity continued to erase the moments of panic, she suddenly noticed that Kel was a lot taller than she remembered... and muscular... was he almost as tall as Hero? That didn't seem to match up with when she saw him a couple of hours ago... ]
