conversations.value:  I saw the light of determination in Claire’s eyes. Ah…I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t stop her again. I was going to lose her again. I had given up all hope—making Claire’s next words all the more a shock.

conversations.value:  "What do you mean, ‘huh’? Of course you’re coming. Where I go, you go. Did you think you had a choice in the matter?" Claire tried her best to sound haughty, but I could tell it was an act. She couldn’t hide the overflowing trust and love in her words. "Did you really think I was going alone?"

conversations.value:  "Actually, it’s my fault, isn’t it? I do have a prior offense." Claire smiled wryly as we both recalled what had happened during the revolution. "I thought that was best for everyone. But I was wrong. It finally hit me when you cried at my execution, showing me your true selfishness for the first time."

conversations.value:  "Of course I will. I’d come with you even if you begged me not to."

conversations.value:  "He he. Good." We giggled before exchanging a quick peck on the lips. "But what about May and Aleah? You’re not thinking of bringing them, are you?" I asked.

conversations.value:  "While I feel bad for them, we’ll have to leave them in the care of someone we trust. Maybe the cathedral priest, or Master Rod—"

conversations.value:  "No!" Our beloved daughters ran in suddenly. I’d been wondering why it was so quiet in their room… They must have been eavesdropping.

conversations.value:  "Me too!" Aleah insisted as well. The two rubbed their teary eyes.
conversations.prefix: Aleah:

conversations.value:  "I’m sorry, but you can’t. The place we’re going is very dangero—"
conversations.prefix: Rae:

conversations.prefix: May:

conversations.value:  "We’re coming, too!" They cut Claire off again.
conversations.prefix: Aleah:

conversations.value:  I didn’t think I’d ever seen them react to anything so strongly before. "May, Aleah…"
conversations.prefix: Rae:

conversations.value:  "You can’t abandon us!"
conversations.prefix: May:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  "I don’t wanna be alone again!"
conversations.prefix: Aleah:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  Claire looked like a deer caught in headlights. I probably wore a similar expression. How could we have forgotten? May and Aleah had been passed on to their relatives after their parents died and then became orphans when those relatives died in turn.
