You know, now that I hold my father's insignia in my hand like this, I think perhaps my sister, Danell, could benefit from the connection to him.

My mother says she's just going through a phase because of Father's death. But this "phase" has been going on for years now.

She has a... unique attitude towards life these days. Very grim, very dark. Not depressed, exactly, but... well, you'll see once you meet her.

Would you take the insignia to her? Remind her of happier times?

Player: Accept.

"The skies rain. Rain with the tears of blood that drip drip drip from my soul..."

That's a line from my latest poem. It reflects the inky despair that permeates my very being.

Why do you approach me, Danell, Mistress of Ennui?

Player: "Yeesh. Uh, this is for you?"

This is... this is Father's. But I thought he gave it to Wurus.

He was always a cheerful man. He used to give me rides on his back and tell me how beautiful life is...

Well. Not that this makes any difference to the Countess of Cruelty, but I'll keep it--perhaps look at it once in a while.
