when we were better

Hanako flinched, but soon found herself beaming so wide her lips ached. She was really here but how come-oh. She didn't understand how this had come to be, or even how she just knew, but the realisation that Meadow was no longer amongst the living as she should be made her heart seize in her chest. Of course she was happy to see her, to take in the sight of her tail wagging so fast and earnest like that. But what had happened, why had she...gone? Trying to shake off the mounting sense of grief, she pushed forward to meet in the middle. This was a good thing, surely, her friend was back, even if only for a little while.
"Meadow! I didn't think- I missed you!" And it was like the clocks had turned back. She dipped down into a playbow as well, bum wiggling as her eyes went all squinty at the sides. She slapped at the ground, initiating play before she twirled on the spot and dashed down the hallway, laughter spilling over her lips as she peered over her shoulder. Hoping, praying her friend would make chase.
