[Better. This is better. This is what she's imagined, bringing him back.]
We will have a future.
[He was always her beacon, her anchor. And now he will live a full, long life. He'll create because he wants to, not because he's trying to save them. He'll no longer have the weight of Lumiere upon his shoulders.
He hugs her and she wraps her arms around him as tightly as she's able. The kiss to her hair is a balm she didn't realize she needed--it makes that serene surface crack, a stifled sob escaping on an exhale. Oh, she's missed him terribly. No matter what new memories she has, he's still a part of her. All the parts she loves most feel like they exist because of his care.
She's so happy, and doesn't want him to worry, and so she shifts to hook her chin over his shoulder. After a moment she presses a kiss to his cheek, over the scruff that would tickle hers when he scooped her up in his arms. He's okay and no one will take him away from her again.]

It's okay. It's all okay, now. It's okay.
