As Nanoha pulled Vivio into a tight hug, Vivio was more than willing to do the same. She noticed it, too - Nanoha looked younger than she remembered. Was she the same as Reinforce?

It didn't matter, not here, not now. Right now, in her arms, was her mother. And right now, even with Sacred Heart wanting to join in on the family moment, Vivio didn't want to pull away.

"Nanoha-mama... you're here... you're really here...!" As she said that, tears rolled down her eyes, tears of joy and relief.
