She gathers earth around the seedlings, a small protective coat for their delicate root bales, then wipes the sweat off her brows, watching clouds roll by. Since her agility decreased, her illusions weakened, working in the garden has become her daily exercise.

Often, she forgets to eat when she's out here, the peacefulness of nature absorbs her, until a twitch in her belly or a well-meaning student reminds her she has more than her life to care for.

And it's true: she devotes herself to growing new life now, instead of mourning over lost ones – a dedication to his memory.


Seems like I found another old drabble. After today, updates will occur when I have written something new, which can also mean never. Just letting you know.

Thanks for reading!
