Takana stepped up to the girl with a smile and a grief seed in hand. She knelt down to be on eye level with the girl, which she fully realized was condescending, but the girl wasn’t in much of a position to argue about it.

      “–Thank you! Oh thank you!,” she exclaimed as tears streamed down her face.
