it's a lot. it's a lot, for vax, who was just going to answer ruby something stupid about scanlan, or tease her about her face on the album cover, but... as he's rushed through the memory, one thing stays completely consistent and true.
ruby, and her sister. her family, but her older sister.
as they step free of the memory itself, the bubble melting around them, vax takes a deep breath. there are tears at the corner of his eyes, ones that might have belonged to ruby, but stay for him. for a moment - he wonders if this is what it feels like to be vex, who - even if they're the same age, he's always been the older one, hasn't he? protective. far away. separated, sometimes - now, separated forever.
his heart aches. ]
... [ god. he has to take a deep breath after that, reaching out almost instinctively, hand half curled in the air like he was still hugging yang as ruby - it drops down, though he puts it on her shoulder and gives her a little squeeze. ]
