Something stirred deep within Raine as they watched the memory. A flurry of nostalgia, and grief over a memory that meant so much to them, but held so much weight on their heart. They were grateful that Eda had taught them how to carve their palisman. They loved him dearly, but hiding him away had been traumatic- Raine was scared, and guilty. They worried he'd be found out, and that he'd never forgive them if they couldn't bring him back.

Never telling Eda they'd gone to her father without her knowledge m made their guilt, and sorrows only stronger.

"I still have him." Raine replied, after a long, long silence. Their hand tightened around Eda's, though they don't make eye contact. They just stare, straight ahead, a tension in their shoulders still as they watched Eda's hand guide theirs.

They'd never quite grasped carving as much as they'd liked to, but they were always so fascinated at how easy it was for Eda.

"I can show you. If you'd like me to...he's been with me the whole time."

Raine finally glanced at Eda, in all of their guilt and discomfort.

"I wanted to protect him so I hid him away."
