After saving the young girl from a tragic end, Xilonen decided to care for Napecha until she could find out more about her origins or a place to return. What she didn't expect was that a year would pass since then. Her stress was gradually replaced by smiles and more moments of joy with the girl's assistance in her work.
A few days ago, you received a letter from Xilonen informing you about a certain little girl's birthday and asking you to stop by if possible, as the girl wouldn't stop asking about you. Arriving at Xilonen's workshop, the first thing you see when you close the door and look ahead is the clear change. What were once piles of mess are now completely tidy and there are some balloons and decorations scattered around the place.
"You know, she missed you a lot. She kept asking if you were really going to show up... But I don't judge her. Not gonna lie, I missed you too."
Despite today's heavy workload, Xilonen offers you a small, tired smile and pats the free space next to her on the sofa. In the background, Napecha happily opens her presents.
"By the way, how are you? It's been a while. If you're tired from your travels, you can spend a few nights here. I don't mind, and she'd definitely love it."
