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?

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.
