Hitomi remembered that she used to think running was as close as she could come to flying. In between her shoes hitting the track, there was this momentary feeling of weightlessness, the wind rushing over her and making her believe that she had been given a pair of winged sandals, lifting her off the ground.

Now, that she had visited Gaia, and had spent time in the air, being held up by Van as he flew, or riding on Escaflowne, she had to admit it was a pale substitute to real flight. But, it was the closest she could manage.
