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 too had faith. I still have faith in her.

But... faith is not enough...

[empress_without_a_throne]

Maybe not... but there's nothing more that we can do on our end. And more than anything else she always had a long-term plan...

We'll just have to wait and see. But in the meantime...

[A smile.]

Nobody's going to think you're being selfish worrying about her.

[stupidhonor]

No? You are right. We should wait and see, and have hope...

But all I can do is sit here and worry.
