Ismael’s voice is a whisper, barely hearable if you weren’t an earshot away. In this case Kyrie wasn’t even nearby to hear Ismael’s voice. Ismael takes a step forward. THAT IS Kyrie! Ismael’s confirmed that it is undeniably them and she takes off, running toward Kyrie with open arms.
“K-Kyrie!” Her friend---Her family REALLY is here!
Once close enough, Ismael leaps into Kyrie’s arms, wrapping her own tightly around them, “I’m SO glad you’re back!”
Why didn’t they come home or text me? How long have they been here?
These questions are pushed back down by the sheer happiness that Ismael feels. It’s overwhelming and she has to get a good look at Kyrie,
“Are you alright? How was it back home?”
