    Summary

    Her Holiness does not pray for the Hero of Norende the same way she prays for the other departed; there are no whispers of the peace one finds when they return to the Crystals, there are no dreams for reincarnations, for meeting and existing in a better life; instead, she prays he will wake up, that they will be together once more, cries that he did not deserve such a fate, and the acolyte wonders what makes the Hero of Norende so different than everyone else.

    The Hero of Norende is dead, she thinks. He will not wake up.
    But she would not dare tell that to Her Holiness.

    Summary

    Hubilance
    n.
    the quiet poignance of your own responsibility for someone, with a mix of pride and fear and love and humility—feeling a baby fall asleep on your chest, or driving at night surrounded by loved ones fast asleep, who trust you implicitly with their lives—a responsibility that wasn’t talked about or assigned to you, it was assumed to be yours without question.
