Oh, wow... I really love this one, too. The emotions you paint for this scene just tug at my heart. Such a telling scene in just a few paragraphs<3

I love how you even talk about how Aqua has never cried in front of anyone--how she's the strong one, trying to keep it together and strong. And here, everything is falling apart for them. And they feel it and they know it and it tears at them.
