Sometimes Not Everything Works Out

It was still going to take some time to arrive at the capital, so I retired to my room. I had only just sat down in a chair when one of my orbs suddenly lit up. It was the one for Sophie. "Faith!"

Seeing Sophie's face filled with tears caused me to be confused and a bit panicked. "Sophie, what's wrong!?"

"My parents…. They were found…." Sophie replied, but her tears kept flowing. I had a bad feeling rising up inside me when I saw the sadness in her eyes. "They…. They have passed…."

As soon as the words left her lips, I called down to Thurul to anchor the airship and teleported away. I appeared right next to Sophie, who dived into my chest and clung on to me with her trembling body.
