03.7 Chance to be strong
"Hm.. I don't really remember, I was like 3 or 4 at that time. Though I do remember him crying one day. He was alone in the courtyard, hiding behind a tree. I thought he was investigating a threat, but when I came around .. he was just crying. He was staring at the leaves above him with no expression at all, yet there were a lot of tears. I guess he remembered his parents, maybe." Is that how one cries? With no expression, just tears? That is not how a 13-14-year-old cries. They wince and frown to choke up their screams. At least, that's how it was for me.
"His parents? What happened to his parents?" Ah, something did happen. Maybe that's it. Maybe that's why he is the way he is. Although it doesn't really matter to me, it doesn't hurt to know, right? What the hell could've even happened to his parents for him to say that in the carriage?
