Squigly returns Filia's embrace just as tightly. While her one hand is soft, without the buffer of skin, the bone of the other digs painfully into Filia's back. Tears well up in her eyes (just one more sensation she never thought she'd feel again), and she tries to shake them away.

"I'm so..." There isn't a word that properly fits, she realizes. She's shocked, elated, and scared all at once. What does this mean? How did this happen?

She knows Leviathan shares her concern, but instead of raining on her parade, he gives her an encouraging nod -- it's okay to be happy about this. His expression turns serious when he looks back at Samson. He doesn't shake his head -- he doesn't want Squigly to worry right now -- but his eyes arrow. He doesn't know either. It's a cause for concern; the dead don't just come back to life without a reason.
