[and Lina... even though she's terrified of whatever Clover is turning into, or has already become, she remembers the promise the two of them just made. they're sisters, no matter what. they love each other. and if all it takes for Clover to realize that she's actually acting strange is being called on it... maybe it's not the end of the world yet.]
[her body is trembling ever so slightly, the last vestiges of an attempt to hold back tears (though everything feels so dry right now that she doesn't think she could cry at all). she whispers her sister's name through parched lips, balls her fists, and closes the distance between them to hug her sister tight. she doesn't know if Clover will let her do it, or let her stay there if she does, but that's what Lina has decided her sister deserves right now.]
You're my sister. Please remember that. You have to remember that that's who you are.
[she means it in a "don't lose your way" kind of sense, but she doesn't actually know what happens to people who get too many memories.]
