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?

Whatever shape she may return as, I would welcome it.

But, that means she would return...

There is nothing else to go on.

And hope... is what makes humans special.

[stupidhonor]

I should be hoping for the best. Is that not right?

I should,,, but this is not how I feel at all.

For now, we can neither confirm nor deny her fate.

Until evidence is found, it may be better to depend on her word.

I want to believe in it. But... even now, I am the kind of person who can do nothing but worry.
