[They both know the sting never goes away, and it's only seconds until Lucky whines in response to the palpable sadness in the air around her, ears flat against her skull as Lightning slowly responds to the hug and returns it. She doesn't break down; even as her family disappeared around her she didn't cry, and even though this hurts more than even her sisters vanishing, she doesn't cry. Instead, she hides her face in Minnie's shoulder, reminding herself to breathe. She has to get past this. She doesn't have the time to break and hide for days. He wouldn't want that for her.
She's not going to let him down now, but she needs a little time to come to terms with her first love disappearing. That's all, really. Just time.]
