Warnings: none

She always held people so close.

Latching on to their hands or curling her arms around their waist in a tight embrace.

She smiled when it hurt; fought when it hurt.

She only let them see what she wanted them to see.

But no one could hold her.

When Ion died she wanted to hold him - but she couldn't. She wasn't used to letting others hold her. He would. The chance dissapeared.

Ion didn't deserve that.

She bared her soul of years of yearning.

Luke held and didn't let go.

She cried forever because real humanity felt so impossibly warm.

Poor Anise really needed that hug, just once.

Thank you.

It took a looong time for her to catch a break didn't it. X/

Thank you.
