Naolyn hugged Cernia just as tight and spun around in the air with her, crying out of joy to finally be reunited with her best friend and the other missing Busters. She placed Cernia back on her feet and placed a hand over her eyes, trying to hide her tears. She knew now wasn't the time for crying so she quickly sucked it up, at least until she noticed Gio-Senpai appear from the group. She only stared at him and slowly walked up to him and slowly got faster until she hugged him in a tackle.
Naolyn hid her face on Gio's chest and began to tremble and cry. She cried louder and louder and was just so happy to see her sensei after such a long time. She didn't let him go.
"G-Gio-Senpai!" Naolyn cried with a muffle. "I-I-I missed you so much! I thought that... I thought that you guys were dead! If you or Cernia or Nessa or anyone got seriously hurt... I just-- I just--!" From that point on anything else she said was unable to be understood by how hard she cried.
================
Ryder and Tico swallow the pills that Ray made for the group and in no time they both felt better. Ryder helped Nessa swallow a pill of her own so she can help out the rest of the Busters. He leaned her against the wall to give her a moment to recover. He took a deep breath and let out a relieved sigh, finally reunited with the others. Tico rushed to Celeste's side and gave her a slick smile before changing the top of his head to match her hair. He mimicked her voice as best he could.
"Celes' a nice girl! Celes' no mean~!" Tico taunted childishly. "Celes' care about Busters, yah?"
Ryder listened to what Raimundo said and seemed to look around. Some of the Busters were still missing and he scratched his chin. He stood next to Cernia and spoke to the Busters around him.
"Rai' has a point. We should take this moment to catch our breath. We need to help out the others." Ryder said sternly. "And I'm pretty sure the others might be fighting Axe right now. We must hurry before they get hurt."

Giovanni grunted when Naolyn essentially tackled him but he kept his footing. He grunted and seemed annoyed that Naolyn was crying and embarrassing him in front of the other Busters. Deep down, he was truly happy to see Naolyn again after so long but he just had a hard time expressing it. He grumbled a little but heard Naolyn's crying words. He let out a sigh and placed a hand on the top of Naolyn's head, trying to make her feel better.
"I ain't gonna let some UN scum get rid of me so easily. I'm a lot stronger than that and you know it." His tone got a little softer, almost as if he didn't want anyone to hear him but Naolyn. "Besides... I missed you too, short stuff. I was worried about you, ya' know." His tone quickly returned back to his typical angry state. He tried to pull Naolyn off of him. "Now get off of me, Short stuff, you're embarrassin' me! You're getting my shirt wet!"
