Kai fought the embrace immediately, but that didn't stop Aerith from wrapping her arms around him to lock him in. He still fought her, though. He banged his hands lightly against her shoulders, against her back. In the end, however, it was all for naught. Kai couldn't contain the tears any longer. His face was buried in her shoulder, embracing her embrace, feeling as though there was some, small comfort in how motherly she seemed. Even if it was just for a moment, Kai's mind went to his mother and how she always would comfort him whenever he was feeling down about his father never being around, or whenever he was feeling sad about anything. She wouldn't grill him or judge him. His mother, god-bless her wherever she was now, always comforted him by embracing him until he felt better. That's how it seemed with Aerith. Kai felt better after a minute or two. He was at the point where he was no longer visibly angry. Truth be told, he wasn't angry at Aerith or Aira--Cielle. He was angry at himself. He should've been able to do something to help his family. He should have been able to do something to help everyone. But he was useless. Just like he was useless to stop the heartless from taking over his world, he was powerless to stop Aira from disappearing. When Kai collected himself, he gave both of them each a glance, sighing.

But..."[/color] Kai got closer to Cielle, almost to the point of invading her personal space, [color=20b2aa]"you look [i]exactly[/i] like her. How can that be?"[/color]
