[She can't quite believe her eyes when she sees the Fon Master in the elevator. In fact, her expression makes her look like she's just seen a ghost. And maybe she would have thought it was a ghost if she'd seen him in that horrible imitation of Daath, but -
She's not on that floor anymore. Still, she looks over her shoulder to make sure what she's seeing around her is real, and then looks back.
Ion is still there.
Her thoughts are racing. If it was Florian, he probably would have run out of the elevator and clung to her by now, wouldn't he? Another replica? No, they don't share memories. He wouldn't know her. But if this is her Ion... No, he died. But then, according to the letter, so did Auldrant. So she's dead too, isn't she? ...but no, the letter said they'd saved her, so she was still alive, but -
She can't help but hope - ]
Ion..?
[She might have stayed there, staring in shock, for ages, but then the elevator makes a sound and the doors start to close. Anise blinks, shakes her head, and darts inside before it's shut completely. No way is she letting those doors close and take Ion with them - even if it's not real, she still wants to see him...]
and there goes my heart
