The full moon shone brightly on Empire City's Neon District a day after the fight with Kessler. Twilight was sitting on one of the edges of Zeke's roof, staring into the sky and admiring the few stars that she could see.

She always liked the full moon... Thought Twilight as her gaze drifted back to the shining disk in the sky.

"Couldn't sleep?" She heard a voice ask, prompting her to turn around and see Cole walking up to her.

"Not really..." She replied as he took a seat next to her. They both began to watch the sky.

Twilight shifted a bit as she felt Cole's gaze on her. "You need something?"

"Not really," He replied as he looked down at the street below them. She did the same to see a girl who was probably in her late teens walking with a young man who looked a few years younger than her. The boy was telling a story by the look of it. The girl suddenly burst into laughter as she held onto his shoulder for support. After she finished the duo continued to walk down the street. They continued to watch them until they were out of sight.

"Seeing things like that remind me of what I'm truly fighting for." Twilight said as she returned her gaze to the sky.

"What do you mean?" Cole asked.

"Well, we're all fighting to find the Ray Sphere and John right? But each of us has another reason why we're fighting." She explained as she looked at Cole again, "What do you fight for?"

Cole looked back at the sky, thinking if what his answer would be. He thought of all the good that he had done with his powers, and all the good that would do in the future.

But why am I doing it? He thought as one person's name crossed his mind.

"Trish," He said.

"Hm?" Twilight said as she turned to look at Cole, who was still staring at the sky.

"I'm fighting to protect her, and Zeke, and all of my friends. I'm fighting so that they can see tomorrow. And so that I can atone for my sins." He finished as he lowered his head. Twilight understood what he was talking about, and she understood that it was now her turn to tell him her motivation.

"I'm fighting to find someone, or to keep her memory alive if she's moved on." Twilight said, her voice wavering.

Cole turned his head towards her, "Is that what Kessler meant by saying your eyes show loss?"

Twilight nodded, "It's my sister," she began, a single tear emerging from her right eye. "She was kidnapped by a drug gang when she went out to eat with some friends about three years ago. The police looked for days, and we looked for weeks. But we had to give up, there was no sign of her anywhere."

Twilight stifled a sob," We were so close, always doing things together and just being really good sisters. My only regret is that I never got to say goodbye..." She as tears streamed down her face. "I fight for her. To keep her memory alive, and to hopefully someday finding her." She said between sobs. She felt a hand touch her shoulder, and she looked up to see Cole with a look of sympathy on his face. 

"When this is over, I'll do whatever I can to help you, I promise." 

Twilight nodded as she wiped the tears from her face.
