... I can't sleep. The nightmares are back and worse than ever before, and now... now there are more than just that one. I suppose I should ask Jade for some more of those sleeping pills. Hopefully this time he won't be so damned hesitant about giving them to me.

I wonder if it's started to snow in Asgard yet...

Sleeping pills don't do the same job as a psychiatrist does.

[shunraiken]

Are you suggesting that I need mental help?

[enemy_or_ally]

Just to get rid of the nightmares, I meant.

[shunraiken]

I've always had them.

[enemy_or_ally]

What're they about?

[shunraiken]

... Martel's death.

Hmm... that's surprising. Go on.

It happened right in front of me... I couldn't do anything. I couldn't stop it, I couldn't save her...

Well, from the sound of it, you didn't inflict harm on her. So you shouldn't feel any regret. Yuan, we all pass on eventually. Surely if she's looking down upon you, she wouldn't be happy to see that you're still suffering from that memory.

I can't help it. I was completely useless. I never even got to say goodbye...

[enemy_or_ally]

... Did you make an effort to save her?

[shunraiken]

I don't have any healing magic.

[enemy_or_ally]

That's not what I'm talking about.

Did you stop any further harm from coming to her?

[shunraiken]

We killed the humans responsible, but it was already too late.

[enemy_or_ally]

You avenged her to the best of your abilities if that's the case. You have nothing to feel sorry for.

... Of course, the human mind doesn't always realize that so easily, does it?

In case you've forgotten, I'm not a human.
