This place came with so much loss and she honestly wasn't sure if it was worse that they came back or that there wasn't a gentle transition back and forth -- at least there hadn't been for her here. It had been brutal and violent and quick. She'd died a lot back home, both in her own timeline and the others. Especially once she'd figured out by accident that she wouldn't stay dead after losing her goddess powers. She'd endured fatal blow after blow just to succeed, but it hadn't felt anything like what she experienced here.
It just sucked that this happened to a literal ball of sunshine. All she could do was make sure Waverly could lean on her if needed so that joyous personality didn't dim. Resilience was the name of the game and they all had bucketfuls. Sometimes it just took a little longer to dig deep and grab another serving to stay upright or find positive ways to refill them when they were getting low.
She could easily fall asleep like this, but instead, she just continues to try to calm her thoughts and hold onto the positives. ]
