Class Zero would never be forgotten, and Rem would do her best to make sure of it. Despite the differences, and despite the arguments that happened throughout the war, there was still a deep bond between them that couldn’t be replaced. It was special, and now that they were gone, it felt as though a piece of her was missing-- Much like it did when she lost her family, and Izana, too.

Being brought to this city only made those feelings intensify. As far as she had been aware when she first woke up here, she was alone. The days spent searching for Machina proved to be for nothing, and the possibility that her dead classmates were brought back to life wasn’t something that ever crossed her mind.

Which was why, when she saw the familiar red mantle, she froze.

“Queen...?” Her voice was hesitant, unable to believe was right in front of her. Alive. 

     He makes sure to catch up with before she’s too far away, placing a hand on her shoulder in an attempt to halt her movements. ❝ Queen! Boy, am I glad to see you here! ❞ He’s certain about that, at least.  ❝ This place is pretty big, isn’t it? Have you seen the others yet? I’ve met.. ❞ He begins to count on his fingers.  ❝ Well, you, Eight, Sice, and Cater. What about you? ❞

A long but gentle stare. The quietness of the forest made the scene more dramatic than it ought to be, than it should be. A reunion or some sort? Almost enough to make him allow a bitter chuckle to escape his lips. He idly stands up from the tree stump, both hands dusting the dirt that clung to his gloves while he was on his search of his Tonberry whom he hoped to be just wandering around somewhere.
