"What do you think sacrifice means?"
"Sacrifice?"
Brand lifted his head. In the hazy light, he couldn't clearly see the face of the Goddess, but the woman continuously smiled at him, her gaze filled with an unwavering expectation. This kind of expectation inspired him to muster up the courage to follow his heart and respond word by word:
"I think, sacrifice should be something that fills one's heart with satisfaction, something one is willing to accomplish without regret or resentment."
"Do you have such a thing to accomplish, my child?"
"I think... I do?" Brand once again recalled his homeland of Erune, remembered the palace consumed in those flames. The uncontrollable desire to change things, perhaps this was the reason for his coming here.
At the moment he saw Martha, he suddenly understood.
The expectation in Martha's eyes transformed into approval.
