To Say Goodbye
[The usual pelting of snow from above at this moment seemed to have calmed down for the time being. And all this time while the others on the island found ways to spend their time, the pigtailed meister finds herself walking along the beach and looking out into the ocean. Those in the past...they beat the Stewards and they haven't shown up here but also, where does that leave her? Was the past changed enough? Were people saved?
But that still made her think: where on earth was Soul?
He's the closest thing to family she has left, been with her through her ups and downs, saved her on many occasions and she did to him, and the image of being apart from him was not only disheartening but terrifying for her to think about. What else did she have to do to know where he is? Did he somehow go to where the Stewards were (a thing she really hoped wasn't a thing) or was he just...gone?]
He can't be gone.
[It's said to herself.]
I refuse to believe it. I won't give up on finding him...
[Silence is all that answers back for a moment. Then the waves started to move together. Something in the distance looks as if it is bobbling in and out of the water and Maka sees it, making her stop and peer out. Her eyes squint and she gives out a gasp and immediately rushes into the water, forgetting how freezing the water is to her. It's just like dealing with the desert except the sensation of feeling like many needles pricking you but what's a little cold?
The item bobs up and down more and she can see a large blade. It's then that Maka picks up her speed and reaches to grab the item by the blunt end and takes the handle, pushing herself and the newly found weapon to shore. Maka gasps deeply as she sucks in air and a bit too greedily because she ends up coughing a bit but she looks down at what she is holding and confirms. She's freezing and wet but for the first time in a long time, she feels relief.
It's also this feeling that gets her to run away from the ocean and back to where the Strangers are with a big grin of what feels like triumph, holding the weapon up high.]
H-He's here! I found him!
[However, unknown to her, the outline of Maka's body seems to fade gently into the air around her...]

Oh, that's wonderful...news...
[That...fading...does not seem to be good...]
Uh, dear? Should we be concerned that you're...fading?
no subject
What?!
[Oh crap she is.]
Aah!
no subject
Um-Could this have something to do with the-the fight? The stewards getting defeated and all that?!
[…]
Did we break the timeline?!?
no subject
[It's when Felicity reminds her about what happened in the trial that Maka realizes what is happening. But you can't blame her for freaking out a little.]
Now that they're dead and Arachne hasn't come out...maybe it means that the timeline has changed.
no subject
So, you wouldn't have gone back in time and...nothing would happen to you.
Does this mean we'll forget you? Or...you'll forget us? Or both?
[Look, the only time travel knowledge that she really has is from her world's Back To The Future (Probably called Away From The Past) so her knowledge on this stuff is pretty hazy.]
no subject
I don't know unfortunately.
If anything...I don't want to forget anyone here. And I hope you do not forget either.
no subject
Well, we'll try our hardest to remember you. I promise to do that much.
[Usually she wouldn't be this...comforting, but this girl has clearly gone through a lot, and she did help them, so it would probably be best to just be nice to her in the final moments Felicity has with her.
...This place is changing her, but...that might be a good thing.]
