Just as we were about to leave Daath, we ran into Brittany, who had just
returned. Things got ugly pretty quick, but then Saiyukiness' mother, Pamela, got
badly injured protecting Sion. We managed to stop Brittany, but Pamela was in
bad condition. And it looks like the scene triggered something in Christian's
memories.
Things finally settled down, and we managed to get Pamela to safety and
see to her injuries. Once her condition was stable, I headed for the chapel
to talk to Christian.
Christian had remembered the time during the Hod War when his family had been
killed. In order to protect him, the heir to the house of Gardios, his sister
and servants gave their lives, throwing themselves between him and the
attacking soldiers. He lost consciousness then, but when he woke, he was
buried beneath the bloody bodies of his sister and the maids. Ever since
then, the touch of a woman unconsciously brought up the terror of that
instant. ...It's my father that caused Christian such painful memories.
I can't apologize enough to Christian...
But Christian laughed and said he was fine. I feel bad for him, but it's
dangerous to stay here any longer than we have to, so we'd better hurry to
Sheridan.
