A knight's loss

[stupidhonor]

[Following the operation to bring down Cambio Protocol, a certain someone was very, very quiet and evasive. But the door to Sielje's room is unlocked, so if you want to check how she's doing...]

So many lost their lives on the island. They fought, we all did, to save countless others from the lava weapon.

[Sielje sits in the dark, curled up on the bed. She doesn't look up while talking, but she speaks up only when some kind of company arrives.]

Then, why is it that all I can selfishly think of...


She is not coming back, is she?

I don't know.

[Sielje doesn't get to just completely curl up on her own. A Rabbit with a cup of tea comes to visit.]

But it isn't selfish to worry about her.

[stupidhonor]

She is a person who is close to me. But... everyone who died was close to someone, too.

[majestic_keiki]

Those people also worry the most about their friends and loved ones. And you didn't do anything to hurt or abandon others for her, you just feel more strongly about somebody who matters to you.

[stupidhonor]

I know. I know, that is true, but...

What can I do? I feel so worried, and... helpless.

[majestic_keiki]

Try to live life as well as you can so she doesn't have to worry about you if she returns.

The only other thing is helping with the cleanup and search in China.

[stupidhonor]

That is not easy... I am unsure how well I will do.

[majestic_keiki]

I know. But it's all you can right now.
