Astrid’s eyes, stained with the tracks of tears, lifted to meet Thalassa’s gaze. “You must be hurting more than me,” Astrid whispered, her voice thick with emotion. “Don’t hold it back. Cry if you need to-it might ease the pain a little.”

Hearing Astrid’s words, the dam of Thalassa’s self-restraint burst, and tears began to flood. She wrapped her arms around Astrid, sobbing uncontrollably like a helpless child.

Astrid held her close, sharing in her sorrow.

After some time, it was Astrid who first found the strength to stem her tears. She gently patted Thalassa’s back and said with heartfelt sincerity, “Thalassa, have you thought about what you’ll do in the future?”

Thalassa wiped away her tears with a trembling hand, her voice hoarse from the weight of her grief. “I’ve decided to stay here with the kids,” she told Astrid, her face still wet from crying. “We’ll make a life in the countryside with you, working the land.”
