Sounds like a rough situation, but I've been away from home for almost over a turn now.
Besides the one time that I felt that I saw it.
These memories, though—
Are you sure you want to carry them all when you return?
Seems like it would be too heavy, even for a Warrior of Light.

You think...? I've always felt that they're defining enough that losing them would be a step backward. Even the bad things. Even things like Fort Harmony, or the various conflicts, or all the compulsory sex.

Is it really that strange?

I'm not sure I want to carry the weight of being imprisoned and miserable with me back home
That's not a burden I want on my husband and tribe, aye?
And thinking of the friends I've lost here to their returns home...
Imagine going home remembering them, knowing there's no chance of ever seeing them again.
It'd be too much.
But I suppose that'd make you stronger, if you can carry those and move forward.
I'd just feel like if I'm trusting a hero, I'd want them to be at peace, too.

I am not so much bothered by the possibility of never seeing them again... I've had plenty such partings in my life. Sometimes, people are simply not meant to meet a second time.

I guess you have a point, though. I just,

I don't think I can remember the last time I was at peace with things here. If ever. But it's not like I can just put it all down and walk away, either.
