Here lies Anna
Loving Mother to a Lost Child
I couldn't cry. Not here.
But... the emotions, the memories. They hurt.
Before, I could hope, but now...
I have nothing.
Anna is dead. The proof lies before me.
A lonely existence.
An eternal existence.
No less than I deserve.
"Of course I will!" A voice tickles my senses.
A name comes with that voice.
A name my memories know.
Lloyd...
It couldn't be...
They are dead.
I know it to be true. I... know it.
No more illusions.
I read the grave again, remembering it.
A Lost Child...
Is he lost?
I don't know.
I feel a small sliver of hope.
Perhaps the dwarf knows.
Maybe he can tell me.
Tell me... of my lost child.
I see the child coming toward me.
Does he know my lost child?
What should I say?
What does he know?
I need to find out.
I feel lost without the knowledge.
I need to say something. Anything.
"Whose grave is this?"
A perplexed look favors me.
Is that a strange question?
Time has made me forget many things.
"Huh? It my mom's."
His... mother's?
Anna... Lloyd...
Two names I know so well.
A pain grips me.
But it is a pain I welcome.
You're... alive?
The boy watches me, silent.
I stare silently back, seeing the truth.
My son.
