but soo-won will finish up taking care of her bandages then, helping her with her kigurumi back on so that it's not a hassle, and will wander over to the cabinet to also get some painkillers and some water for her to take them with.]
Ah.... well, that is a rather long time, and rather unexpected.
... is it too soon to ask what your child was like?
[like. realtalk it's been ten years with a child and now without so he can make a guess that this might not end the best way]
[ we had to sneak in some yuri before everyone killed off all the girls. anyway, that's a very sentimental question; hilda's expression turns thoughtful. ]
She's really, really studious and serious—at first she wouldn't even emote at us! And she'd get in trouble for being blunt, and people misunderstood her a lot when she was young... But it was their loss, because she was the most loving and capable girl in the entire village. At least they ended up realizing how great she was eventually...
[ she pauses in her rambling to smile a little, slanted. it's harder to put these feelings away than she'd expected—all the tasks they've had felt so... fake before, things that would just vanish like the pirate attack.
but this definitely lingers. ]

.... but it's real to you, isn't it?
[he sounds thoughtful at that.]
What you all went through... It's still something that can't truly be taken from you, because it lives on in your hearts.
