“A fool... An outsider.”

“What?”

“I’m talking about myself,” said Philietta with a shy smile. The two were relying only on the light from the gas lantern to lead them through the dusty abandoned mansion.

According to stories, the mansion had been abandoned for ten years. Back when the master was still alive, the servants supposedly kept the place spotless. He was a solitary man with no family, simply a few hired servants and a live-in assistant.

That was a long time ago, though. The mansion as it stood now had not a trace of the dignity it might once have. Now the mansion was inhabited by mice which scurried around crying, having been disturbed by Orphen and Philietta, and was home to more spiders than probably anywhere else in the village, judging by the sheer number of cobwebs. Orphen waded through the dust and cobwebs, following after Philietta while she continued talking about her past.

“There’s a tiny little village to the west of here, one that’s not listed on any maps. The locals took to calling it Raindust. They named it that because of how the village had come about. In a small-scale conflict that came and went like a storm some dozens of years ago, many people were driven from their home villages. These people gathered together, and before they knew it, the area had become a small village. Settled like the dust after a rain storm. That’s my hometown.”

Upon hearing this, Orphen suddenly muttered “...I’m pretty sure my parents’ home is supposed to be around there.”

“You have parents? And you call yourself an orphan?” asked Philietta, surprised.

“We’re talking about your life story right now, not mine.”

“Oh, I see. You’re the type who likes to make other people talk about their past, never talking about your own,” Philietta shrugged before continuing her own story. “I left my hometown when I was fifteen. I’d gotten sick and tired of that little dump in the middle of nowhere, so I ran away from home. I didn’t take much luggage with me, and this was the first village that I just barely managed to stumble across.”

“Fifteen years old, huh...” said Orphen, summing Philietta up from head to toe to try and guess her current age. “I take it that was ten years ago, then?”

“Not quite. Nine years ago, actually.”

“So I was off by a year, so what?”

Philietta giggled slightly. “A lot can happen in a year,” she said, before her expression suddenly turned darker. Orphen scratched his head, trying to knock off an insect that had fallen on him.

“For example, if I had left that village just a year later... then I’d never have met him.”

“Him?” asked Orphen, still battling with the spider that had gotten tangled up in his hair.

Philietta started speaking in more pained tones. “The one who found me collapsed by the side of the road and took me under his care.... Sammy.”

She spoke the name as though that were all there was to say about him. She didn’t say anything more after this, so Orphen didn’t press any further.
