"G-Grandma! Thank you for your blessings…" Alma cried happily, as she embraced her grandmother, then me, and then her grandmother again. "I-I was nervous at first… I wasn't sure you would accept it. We never really discussed such things, after all… I-I mean, we didn't need to. With Maria, it was the first time I genuinely liked a girl… before, I always had crushes on boys…"
"Fufu, I suppose you found a woman so wonderful you couldn't resist, then," her grandmother giggled. "Whatever the case… I hope you'll bring her along, Maria."
"What?" I gazed at Alma's grandmother with a puzzled expression. "B-Bring her along? What do you mean…?"
"You know what I mean…" her grandmother replied. "She'll be heartbroken if you leave so soon… you promised to make her happy, didn't you? I understand you must depart to save others, but… you're also responsible for my granddaughter's happiness!"
