A woman with strawberry-blonde hair carried her child in her arms. She stared at the numerous flowers by the field. Her son had been born 2 and a half years ago. As she was patting his back, her son looked at his mother's eyes.

"Yes, dear?"

"Where is father?"

Her whole face fell down. But she tried to stay strong. She taps her son's chest, directing it to his heart. "He is there," And made a sad smile. Her son's head swung to the side, and he could've sworn he saw a figure bending down to rub his head.

Petra tried to hold the tears that were falling down from her face, but she couldn't. The figure gave the child a small smile and looked towards the mother. "Mother, father's here." Her son pointed to the spot where he saw him. But Petra found it empty.

She gave up and cried softly.

"Griswald...when you are old enough, I will tell you everything..."

With one last look, she brought her son to her chest and focused on putting him to sleep.
