Aldred made another hot bath and put a tent over the bath. They all entered dejectedly. Especially Mira. The boy wanted to calm her down, but he didn't know how to.
Mira felt her body turn weak and she fell asleep immediately.
Aldred, Mareona, Sophia, and Mary looked at each other. They didn't say anything but they knew that deep in their heart this was a moment of tragedy. Nobody wanted this or expected this to happen. But life had to go on, and so they slept.
When morning came, Mira woke up first thing before anyone else. Aldred was shocked to see her smiling as she donned her clothes.
Mira noticed his confusion. "I cannot let my emotions affect this journey. Although I am in grief, I must keep going so Arthur's loss must not be put to waste."
"Mira," Aldred called. "That's my first time hearing you say something that heartless."
