Ava doesn't have the senses she has, can't know the relief she feels when there is something physical to touch. Her friend. Someone she would face anything for. Someone who had tried to reach her through Tiamat's power before and had tried again. Not many would be brave enough to challenge a Goddess. But Ava had. Twice.

"I don't know what happened, Ava. But seeing you here. Seeing Erin and Ylva and Max and Fever and so many others? I have to think that somehow we were meant to be together. Some force has decided that our journeys are still intertwined. Maybe it was the Erda. Maybe it was the Captain. We have no way of knowing, but we can seize this chance for something better."
