"can we pretend this never happened?"

Landing on the moon, Toni expected to feel awe. And perhaps, if things had been different before the trip, she would have been. But as it was, all she could feel was guilt and anguish.

Reaching out, choosing to ignore how her hand was shaking, Antonia grabbed Soladiti's wrist, halting them in their tracks.

"Sol, I... I'm so sorry." She said, also ignoring how her voice cracked. She couldn't look up at Sol. She didn't deserve to meet their eye. But that meant she didn't see them move, and nearly jumped from their skin as Sol wrapped her in a hug. Their wings settled around Antonia's waist, and Toni let herself collapse against her boyfriend.

"You have nothing to be sorry for, my love," their voice was as calm as ever, and it only made Toni want to cry more. How could they forgive her so easily? After the way she'd acted!? After she'd nearly gotten them killed with that shock caused by her stupidity!?

Distantly, Toni could hear Sol humming. She wondered if their Father had taught them that song. That caused another horrific pang of negative feelings. She tightened her grip on Sol, and felt their head rest atop hers.

Antonia yae Galvus wasn't supposed to cry. It was one of the first lessons that her grandfather had taught her when she was a child. But here, on the moon, alone with only Soladiti to see? Antonia cried. She gripped at her girlfriend and she wept.

She wept for the harsh words she'd said to Soladiti. She wept for the dead girls that she could have saved. She wept for the memory of Soladiti on the floor, spitting up blood after being shocked. She wept for her people. She wept for her Brother. And mostly? Antonia wept for her Father, who had never loved her, but hadn't deserved what her brother had done to him.

Antonia didn't know how long she cried. But as she pulled away, Sol produced a handkerchief from somewhere and Toni accepted it gratefully, wiping at her face.

"So... Can we pretend this never happened?" Toni asked, passing the handkerchief back. Soladiti smiled, and Toni felt a final tear bubble forth.

"Pretend what never happened?" They said, bending to kiss Toni's forehead. "I love you, Toni."

"Yeah, yeah. You too, Sol."
