Saving the world was such an abstract idea on its own, and really saving existence wasn't any larger. Your 'world' was existence, as far as your mind could comprehend. It was everyone, faces and people you didn't know, sacrificing yourself selflessly for a noble good.
Saving the people you cared for, on the other hand...she'd failed at that. So many times that the very idea of openly caring for someone put a seed of fear in her heart, paralyzing her. But in a fight of this magnitude, it was all or nothing. Somehow that lessened the fear in same stroke as spurring on her incentive to fight, to help secure victory for them all. How strange hearts and minds could be.
"Good." She takes a deep, steadying breath. "Because a lot has happened over the last few days, and I'd really like one good thing to balance it all out."
