Tidus grips Hera's hand; a help to keep them together as they move forward, but a little as a reassurance, too. Romeo's presence is far, but he can feel him, just as he does Hera's feelings through this link between the three of them; the familiarity for those that she knows, the voices of the people she cares about - he experiences it too.

We'll help them. Tidus is reassurance, the remark not verbal, but it can be felt by Hera, and even Romeo. The knowledge that going back will be helping them - helping Hera, to get her back one day and to join the fight. They just need to focus forward on the boy opening the way for them, eyes on his light and the beacon it gives back to the train.

Just a little more, Hera - we'll get there!
