[ There was something familiar about this place, even if it was completely ruined like this. No, she almost instinctively recognized it.. but she didn't take much time to take in the surroundings, since her attention was pulled fairly quickly towards the girl-- no, two girls a little distance away from her.
After taking a few quick steps over, it wasn't very hard to recognize the body lying there, even with as bruised and beaten up as it was. But the other girl sitting there.. To be honest, for a moment Kyouko really doesn't have a clue, but it soon after registers in her brain. She sees the girl often enough during Watch shifts to recognize her by now, even if she's looking sort of more moe different right now.
But that still doesn't explain what's going on, does it? She frowns, almost somewhat panicked in her confusion. ]
Homura! What-- [ She can't even find the words to finish her sentence. ]
[That voice sounds like, but there was no way it could've been... She turns her to head to look and her eyes widen almost immediately.]
K-Kyouko-san? But you were...
[she can hardly believe it, still clearly remembering her death. homura stands up, removes her glasses and wipes her eyes before putting them back on. her arm trembles, as she hesitantly reaches out, wanting to confirm that this isn't some sort of illusion.]
Is that really...?
[as many times as she had gone back into the past, it's the first time something like this has ever happened.]
[ No, it's not just the looks-- even the way Homura acts just now is completely different, as if it's some sort of timid twin. But she recognized her (even going as far as calling her Kyouko-san there, huh?), so.. ]
Yeah, it's me, Kyouko! [ Her tone is perhaps slightly agitated becasue of her confusion. ]
What do you mean, 'you were...'? I'm right here, aren't I?
[she takes a step towards her, then another until she was close enough to embrace the other. homura admitted not being all that familiar with kyouko, but seeing her alive after all that happened, it was all so overwhelming]
Kyouko-san, I'm so glad!
[she didn't know how, or why, and failed to realize that she was sobbing once more. homura was just relieved. maybe even happy that something good had emerged at last.]
[ The sight of the ruined city already scared Rock more than he cared to admit, his footsteps slightly hesitant as he gulped down the dry lump in his throat and stepped through the rubble scattered around. Where he was going though, he didn't know. He was just doing what came naturally to him at this point. Searching. For objects, for people, for answers... anything to clue Rock in on what had happened here.
It didn't take long for him to find something though. Or at least, hear it. Sobbing. ]
Is anyone out here?? [ He called out, that feeling of anxiety already welling up in his chest at the thought of someone being hurt and trapped under the rubble. Was that what the sobbing was? ] Hello?? I'm here to help..!
[ The sobs were getting louder at this point, almost as if he was growing closer to the source. His pace picked up then, rubble crunching underneath his metal feet before the source finally came into view... and he couldn't help but both slow down and quiet down, almost feeling like he was intruding on something at the sight
( ... )
[it wasn't until he was standing closer to her that homura actually acknowledged his presence. she looked at him, a tear running down her cheeks. admittedly, his appearance startled her a bit.]
W-Who are...
[but more importantly than that.]
How did you...
[get here? survive? either question would've been likely, had homura actually finished that sentence.]
[ There was a brief second where Rock actually considered trying to answer her questions, incomplete as they may be. But he shook his head and pushed the thought aside. He could answer her questions later. Right now... he needed to get them both somewhere safe. Anywhere safe.
Heck, anywhere that was still intact. ]
I'll explain later. [ He finally said, casting one last glance at the immobile body the girl was kneeling next to... before closing his eyes and gulping down the dry lump still in his throat, steeling himself... and opening his eyes again. This time with a very obvious determination in his gaze.
He extended a hand to the girl, offering it. ] We need to get you somewhere safe. [ A pause as he cast another glance at the one with the pink hair. ] ... Both of you.

O-Okay.
[she stood up, her legs looking shaky there for a moment]
Ah, um... Can you please help me carry her...?
