Bliss Stage: Visual Stage/Final Sara Interlude

Sara was crying.

Not sniffling. Crying full tilt.
 * Josh: Sara...

I put a hand on her shoulder.

She shuddered, and slid away.
 * Josh: Sara, what's going on?


 * Sara: ...th..the next muh...mission.

I wasn't sure if I should hug her.

Tentatively, I reached out my hand to her.

Offering.

She grabbed for my hand.

Squeezed it.
 * Sara: ...there are so m-many aliens at Darkside...


 * Sara: ...I...I'm scared.


 * Sara: ...I don't wanna die... I don't wanna buh-liss...


 * Sara: ...I want to be happy, really happy, not in Bliss...


 * Sara: I'm so scared...

She shook.

I put my hand on her forehead.

Caressed her.
 * Josh: ...We have a chance in hell of making it.


 * Josh: I'll be there.


 * Josh: Anna will be there.


 * Josh: ...and most frightening of all to the Nightmares... you'll be there.

She rolled her head back into my hand.

Eyes closed.

Sighed happily.

Then blinked.

And turned her head away.
 * Josh: Sara... what's wrong?


 * Sara: ...you're gonna have to ask me, aren't you.


 * Sara: ...we're not gonna make it unless...


 * Sara: ...unless you ask me.


 * Sara: And we do it.


 * Sara: And we get the big guns.


 * Sara: Because we did it.
