Athelstan deserves it, for he has become a rock, someone Ivar could rely on when he had no one else to turn to. He sighs, elbows propped on the table as he puts his head on top of his closed fists.]
I waited for him to come back for so long as a child. For years, I thought he'd just come back one day like nothing had happened. It took ten years. How could he love me if he did a thing like that?
