[Things start falling into place, and through the pain, a great number of things start to make sense. This is why Ion was so cold to her. It's why he sided against her and stood with the same people who killed Mommy.]
[It's why she wasn't allowed to be with him, in what must have been his final days, when he was so sick and bed-ridden that he wasn't allowed to have visitors. She lost her position as Fon Master Guardian as soon as he recovered. It all made sense now.]
[And it was like losing him all over again.]
No... no, no...!! No, Ion, he can't... h-he can't be...!!
[And then the tears start to fall, and they just can't stop.]
