Even the people who never frown, eventually break down. As the physical contact from Rinoa tightens around Selphie, the grip of the memory lessens. The simple phrase of not losing another person has other thoughts flooding into Selphie's mind as her fingers curl around Rinoa's wrists. There were a lot of things that the perky brunette couldn't bring herself to discuss very often and this answer was one of them.

There were a scant few who were privy to this painful event and Rinoa was now one of them. Selphie didn't have any intent on leaving anyone behind as she bowed her head and drew in a shaky breath. The broken pleas, the empathy pouring out from her friend was a powerful magnet for Selphie. There were people that she couldn't leave behind or become lost in a memory to. There were a few things more powerful to a person who had very few people to rely on than that simple phrase.

I can't lose you too.

"I'm not lost," Selphie murmured in a low voice. "I'm right here..."

Where was she really?
