It's probably a mercy, not to mention to Reynir any of the complications that had arisen after her rebirth - the amnesia, slipping out of alignment, or the other implications. He just keeps staring at Tuuri, eyes welling up with tears. He might not have cried back in that vehicle, but Reynir has always been someone who cries quicker from joy than despair. And thinking that Tuuri had gotten a little more time - even a few days - is such a gift that he had never expected to be given.

"Good. Nobody deserves it more than her."

The Tuuri in the memory seems completely at her ease, bright and cheerful as Reynir had ever seen her.

"And - and that means you were friends? Before you came here?" Reynir lets out a giggle, delighted and surprised, "Imagine that! We come from completely different worlds, we still managed to have a mutual friend!"

Then, however, he remembers something, and it is like a pin popping the balloon of his happiness. Reynir finally looks away from Tuuri, turning back to Ami. He asks:

"Did she know? About... you becoming a troll?"
