(We can just skip to the next morning where he goes out to meet Nekoro again.)

William woke the next morning feeling much more tired than he should have, considering how long he had slept. His rest had been troubled by nightmares of the poor sick boy he had visited the evening before, and now he felt quite disturbed. He rose quickly and hastily finished his morning chores before heading back out into the woods to meet with Nekoro once more.

Nekoro was waiting for him by a calm little stream, watching a few little fish swim by. SHe looked up once she heard him approach and smiled. "Ah, hello again. I was wondering when you were going to come..."

He nodded tiredly in response. "Good morning, Miss Nekoro... I hope you can excuse my exhaustion. I was... rather preoccupied last night and did not sleep well."

"I understand. I did not expect you to have a pep in your step." She patted the grass beside her, "Come, sit."

He walked readily over to her and sat next to her.

"...If it makes you feel any better, you were right about him not having long left. Maybe a couple more weeks. He felt peace as soon as he was taken. He could finally rest, and he was happy."

Willam sighed softly. "I... I am glad, but.... I still feel horribly guilty, Miss Nekoro..."

"It was for his own good... I understand the great guilt you must feel, but it'll be alright. In times like these we must press on to be happy again."

"I know that, Miss Nekoro... but I cannot get over it so quickly. I just wish that I did not feel that I have done a terrible wrong... I am terrified to go see the boy's family...."

"I'm afraid that I can't help you there..." She slowly slipped her feet in the water.

He looked over to Nekoro, eyes wide. "What are you doing..?"

"I'm just resting my feet in the water... Why? Is that bad?"

"What, dearest William? Were you afraid that I was going to leave you?"

He shook his head. "No, do not dwell on it..."

"Hmm. Alright." She splashed her feet in the water a bit before looking back to him. "So. Why is a young man like yourself not married and without children? Surely that must be odd in that small town...'

"It is odd... but I have always been the odd one out. I suppose I have been far too passive in looking for a wife, but I fear that I would not be much of a husband or father."

"Well if you were to look for one, are there any suitable candidates?"

"I suppose... but she and I have been dear friends for years, and I doubt she sees me in that way. Besides, she is quite religious, and... if she were to know about the wishes..."

"She'd turn the town against you with talk that you are associated with the devil." She shook her head, "What a shame."

He smiled sadly and nodded. "She would, and she would do it for my benefit, in her own mind, anyhow..."

"Yes, that whole town seems to be heavy into the religion... Are you as well?"

"I suppose I am... but it seems that the preacher has sensationalized many messages from the good book, and I do not subscribe to some of his teachings.... I simply read the book and come together with other believers for fellowship. For a long time I thought the Lord was the one answering my wishes, but..."
