[The tears glisten in her eyes as she stares at her, fingers lifting to lightly touch the screen. She takes in a shaky breath, the corner of her mouth curving upward slightly. It really does... look like her. All of her mannerisms. The way her eyes light up when she smiles. The soft contours of her face... Cornelia would have gladly given up her life just to see Euphemia one more time.
And now--here she is. She knows this isn't just another dream. Her tears feel hot as they slide down her cheeks, and the pain in her heart is so sharp that she can barely breathe. This time... it's real. She's alive.
Eyes close and she leans her head back, the movement releasing more tears. Putting a hand to her heart, she sniffs, trying to resurrect the words she's wanted to say to her for a year now.]
Euphie... I...
[Eyes open again, guilt now present in her gaze. She had been useless. Powerless. She couldn't even save the person most precious to her; the person who will always be number one in her heart. How is it possible to apologize for something like that?]
I-I'm... so sorry. I... [Her breath hitches in her throat.] ... failed you.
