Lindel finishes the staff that Chise had finished carving. As she finishes, she meets an old friend, who offers her some wise advice.
I could have given up, no matter 
when he'd thrown me out.
.كان بإمكاني الاستسلام متى تخلّى عنّي
und es hätte mir auch nichts ausgemacht,
irgendwann rausgeworfen zu werden.
Podría rendirme
sin preocuparme por ser echada.
Podría rendirme sin importar
cuándo me echara.
Je m’étais résignée
à ce qu’il me laisse un jour.
E in caso mi avesse scacciata,
forse sarei riuscita a farmene una ragione.
Eu poderia ter desistido, não 
importa quando ele me expulsasse.
Я бы смирилась, 
когда бы он меня ни прогнал.
