[Unlike a Totally Canon event scene, there's no humor in this situation. Orwin flops his arm back to his side and slumps further down the log he's been using as back support. What happened is still very raw and heavy on his heart, and that's not even including the world-ending dream he just went through. He'd like nothing more than to not retell this story- to avoid talking about it at all costs. But that's not going to get him anywhere.]

You guys came to Toshimina lookin' for a way to get into the royal library, and I figured I'd lend a hand. [More like he got bullied into it to make up for being an asshole to Kanata, but details.] But that got put on hold, 'cause we had to deal with a monster breaking into the city at night and attacking people.

Naya, my wife, she- [His breath briefly catches in his throat getting to this part, but he soldiers on.] She was a monster that could maintain a human form. I stupidly thought...that it was her doin' all of this. I did everything I could to stop you guys from attacking her- said I could handle it myself. But it wasn't even her. It was someone like her.

She got mortally wounded protecting us from it, and wanted to die as herself instead of her monster form, so I... [He squeezes his eyes shut, fists tightening.] I honored her wish. I finished her off.

[And if that wasn't bad enough...]

My daughter saw it happen. She didn't know why it was happening, just that her worthless father killed her mother right in front of her. You can probably guess how it went from there.
