Someone who looked after me when I was young.

I'm sorry that you lost her.

... Thank you. It was a long time ago, in any case.

Yes? Does that soften the grief? I truly don't know.

Maybe not. But time is a master that isn't always so understanding.

[she has to think about this, but she nods.]

It can be crueler, the distance.

Is that something you speak from experience for?

To a degree. Not my own experience, but I have seen the way grief can remain terrible even ten thousand years after a loss.

Mm. That would be the curse of immortality, I imagine—thousands of years is a long time to carry your pain.

And to allow it to destroy you, and remake you into a person consumed by it.

Ah. That sounds like something that affects you negatively, I take it.
