Ophelia's Terror

Hanna's cheeks were burning red in embarrassment.

She didn't even notice how long she had been hugging Nial. It felt so good to know that Nial was fine and that he was finally back and that she didn't want to let him go anymore. It was an instinctive reaction, that was it…

Nial didn't mind her hug. In fact, he liked it. The feeling of someone missing him was good. It made him fall at ease and make him feel like he had finally arrived home.

Even if he had been extremely busy in the last six decades, it was different being far away from the people who cared about you than having them around you.

After Hanna let go of him, Nial began to share his story about the last six decades. Many things happened to him, but they could be summarized rather easily. 

Unfortunately, nobody allowed him to leave his story aside by merely mentioning the extremely summarized version. Thus, Nial spent over two hours thoroughly telling everyone what he had gone through.
