South couldn't be bothered to speak about Nathan; Stella went to her husband's grave.
South followed, looking at the tombstone inscribed with Evan Osborne's name, silently knelt at the grave, and added a stick of incense.
"Previously I was ill, muddled for over a decade, your father patiently accompanied me throughout, until his passing when I finally recalled everything."
Stella spoke, South listened; she said nothing more, and South waited for the day she would choose to speak.
The three descended the mountain, arriving at the foot of the mountain in the wee hours of the night.
Nathan drove them back to Aethelgard.
By dawn, they reached the destination, South fell asleep in the car, whereas Stella remained awake throughout.
Upon entering Aethelgard's boundary, Stella abruptly said:
"Don't tell Father about my return."
"Okay," Nathan replied.
