All bubbles pop eventually
Yesterday was a day of celebration. For once, it seemed that the foreigners were able to affect the coral, and in a positive way at that. The coral lit back up, the barrier strengthened, and everything looked like it was back to normal again.
Unfortunately, it doesn't last.
Overnight the coral begins to dim again, flickering wildly along with the bubble itself. Those who stayed up on the island might notice the strange lights coming up through the waves if they're awake. The ones who stayed in the bubble will notice more than that. The atmosphere is tense, and every now and then there's an echoing crack, like a massive piece of glass is slowly losing its integrity.
By the time the morning arrives, the crack in the bubble is evident. After hours of threatening it, the crack finally falls open with a thundering snap, allowing the ocean to rush in. It hasn't yet given up entirely, but there's a steady stream of water pouring in to the plaza and on to the coral. The waterfall would be a pretty sight if not for the situation.
Hopefully no one stayed down there that long.
((OOC: The bubble has cracked! Feel free to use this post as a mingle log if desired. The elevator is still functioning, so anyone down in the bubble will have some time to escape.))

[And she smiles, bright and genuine.]
I don't know, after all that, I don't think something as perverted as that can wreck things.
[It's the return of the snuggles! Maka shifts herself up so she can reach Kid's cheek and kisses him there.]
I care about you a lot.

Okay, admittedly, they're a bunch of refugees in a village that was just repaired for their use, privacy is not exactly a luxury they can afford, and as painfully awkward as Kid can be in certain kinds of social situations (see also: this), it's also really nice.
Pragmatically speaking, people have quite a lot more to worry about than whether a lovestruck couple is sitting together giving each other kisses on the cheek. Gosh.
One good turn deserves another; he bows his head, in order to nestle the tip of his nose behind her ear. How she manages to smell nice all the time is anyone's guess.]
And you, too.
[Not like there was any mistaking it, when he was fully prepared to fizzle like a wet firework, all for the sake of saving the home the people he loved were living in.]
