H-huh? How did you-- [ It's a little too on-the-nose, a little too matter-of-fact, for Rise to simply overlook the fact that Ven seemingly knows about the state of her heart. Had he somehow picked up on that while he was doing that hunting for monsters thing? More and more, it reminds her of her own support abilities, and she can't help but wonder what he'd appear like to her if she summoned her Persona.
That's a thought for later, though, and she gives her head a quick shake to dismiss her own curiosity. Ven's got her pegged for what she finds comforting, at least, though he's no leader to latch onto. Instead, Rise reaches out to grasp his hand, looking ahead at the portal-- and then, almost stubbornly, to maybe prove that yes, she's a big girl, she can handle it, she's the one to take the first few steps forward and into the light, not pausing until they've emerged into a town bathed in sunset. ]
