[ there's more pain for Ellie to see clearly when Margaery looks at her again, feet slowing to a stop as her heartbeat suddenly thuds in her ears. is she smiling? she might be. she's suddenly lost, almost as if her soul has momentarily departed her body and needs a second to settle back and regain control again.
when the long spell passes, she realizes she's been staring and quickly averts her eyes. a deep breath or two later, she swallows and shakes her head minutely. ]
I'm afraid that's not possible.
[ she is smiling, but she can't stop, just as she can't stop the burn of tears lining her eyes. ]
The last thing I recall before I was pulled into the rift was. [ her breathing grows shallow, and she grips Ellie's hand just as she held Loras in that moment, trembling uncontrollably. ] The heat of wildfire. The ground splitting open, as if it were a great beast opening its mouth to swallow us whole.
[ her tears carve delicate paths through the chill on her cheeks, before they grow even colder. ]

It's already ended, for me.
