With a moment taken to compose himself, he swam up, kicking his feet and spreading his arms as he ascended. As he broke through the surface, he found himself staring towards the rocky cliffs at the coastline, greeted by the sight of a knelt colossus, extending its giant hand.
"Erebus?" He quietly said, staring at the palm large enough to carry a home.
In his ear, the communicator that had gone silent finally buzzed in–
"//Seven…! You're alive—?! Thank god!//" May's voice desperately greeted him, sharply meeting his ear.
"//Back from the dead, are you, Seven?//" The obsidian tongue of Haoyu greeted him.
"//You made it back, buddy!//" Alexander's voice came through.
"//Well done. You kicked some ass.//" There was tangible pride in the monotone greeting given by Shin.
"//Seriously awesome! You totally went…boom! With that Fulminare!//" Lily hyped up.
He was a bit overwhelmed by the various words given by his comrades, though he couldn't help but smile.
