FFVIII - The Hill pt. ii

[colourfuless]

Selphie notes how close they’re standing to each other.

‘It’s been such a long time.’ Almost shoulder to shoulder. Her memories are always collecting sepia tones, but she has to remind herself it’s only the wind, the cold late-winter afternoon and the human instinct of gathering together to keep warm that has brought them together this time

This is so beautiful.

And Selphie almost smiles. But the gap of doing and almost is far too wide and deep to jump. is heartbreakingly beautiful. :( You write amazing prose.

The phrase about the gap between doing and almost is incredible. It gets even more of an impact from the very rare bits of dialogue.
