[She sees his eyes open, although brief, and she meets his gaze with a smile, able to manage at least that much knowing that he was still with her. That she could still get through to him somehow, even if it is just through the warmth of the flames.
But when he fades away from her again, she buckles, that pressure that fights back still enough to make her wince in pain. She just needs to focus... focus on those emotions, those feelings that he makes her feel. That need to protect him in spite of her fears. She is terrified, yes, but she needs to remember how to turn that around and use that to her advantage.
The flames grow again, pushing back, and then pushing some more. Growing into something that she's not sure she's ever been able to do, and for a moment, she swears that they take the shape of a fiery horned beast that slashes at the eyes, the flames burning like hellfire...]
Go away!
[As she screams those words as loud as she can, her voice shattering, the starflowers that had disappeared bloom again, their petals a bright orange that light up the void that they are stuck in, trying to chase away the darkness that continues to threaten consuming them.]
