    Summary

    “Your girl… she didn’t survive the attack, right?” Henry nods. “I’m… sorry. Were you serious about each other?”

    Henry shrugs. “As serious as two young people that haven’t known any sorrow are. We haven’t thought about what we want after, haven’t thought about future at all. But we were sweet on each other and spent a lot of time together. It was… I’m glad I experienced that before the peaceful part of my life was over.”

    Or, how women in Henry's life shaped his mind and heart, and how Hans was there at the very end.
