[ People can stare all they want, none of that even matters now that her brother is here. For so long she thought he was dead, and now here he is... Part of her wonders if she's dreaming again, that she'll blink and he will vanish once more.
But she blinks a few times, letting the tears fall and no, he's still here. Still holding her, still petting her hair as she would do for him. If he can't cry, then she can cry enough for the both of them; breath trembling and stuttering as her relief bubbles over. ]
« I'm so... Happy doesn't even begin to describe it. »

Her eyeliner and mascara have probably smudged, but none of that matters either; instead trembling hands lift, cupping his cheeks gently and managing a trembling laugh. He's really, truly here. ]
