It had been two full days since we settled into the village. In all that time, we hadn't really done anything significant aside from wandering around, taking in the sights, and letting ourselves simply exist in the moment. Every day, without fail, we would visit the orphanage, playing with the children and handing out little gifts, watching their faces light up with innocent joy.
Thanks to us saving the village, the owner of the rental house we were currently staying at had given us an incredibly generous offer. It was a fifty percent discount on the lodging. She was unbelievably kind, going out of her way to accommodate us at every turn. Honestly, I felt like I didn't really deserve such generosity, like I was taking more than I should. But refusing her offer would've just been rude, so I accepted it with a grateful smile.
