[ What happened, indeed; he's right in that there really aren't very many possibilities. Only so many things can devastate to the point that the mundane feels like a luxury, and none of them are pleasant.
So for the first time since he offered her the headphones, she looks away. It's the tiniest turn of her head away from Logan, eyes wandering to the shelves upon shelves of what was once music. It's not the first time she's had to speak about it ( it won't be the last, either ), but it's the first time she's explained it to someone who's not from Ylisse.
Lucina looks back though, even if it takes a second. Her voice sounds less like someone telling a story and more like someone giving a report. Measured and clinical. ] The country that neighbors our southern border long wished to resurrect a dragon that is powerful enough to destroy the world; they succeeded when I was a child.
The means to seal the dragon away had been lost with the fall of civilization, and our attempt at recovering them failed. [ A beat. ] Ah, but not all was lost; we managed save a version of Ylisse by traveling back in time to before Grima resurrected. [ For a given definition; she doesn't consider the Ylisse she saved to be her home. She forfeit the ability to save her home when she chose to abandon it.
Still. Saving a timeline is something. There's a hint of a smile that plays at her lips at the thought. ] I suspect they're well into the rebuilding efforts now.
