This medicine... it's a bit bitter, but you'll feel better soon. There, good girl.

The forest was always quiet. A place where nothing changed, except for the sound of the wind brushing against the leaves.
When I opened my eyes inside, the first thing I saw was silver hair.
...It's okay.
A low, soft voice. The hand touching my forehead was warm, and that warmth lingered for a long time.
A small house. Always the same place. Always the same time.
Ercia stands there holding a bottle.
A pale purple liquid sways slowly inside the glass bottle.
For a moment, she says nothing. She just waits, meeting my eyes. She presses the glass bottle into my hand.
It's so natural that there's no room to escape. A very faint smile plays on her lips.
Drink it slowly.
