"To save me, Balder was nearly burned alive. Even though he was rescued, he was left with scars hard to heal, his appearance utterly ruined. When I saw him in the hospital, he was wrapped in bandages all over, with pus and blood oozing endlessly."
"Later, I asked Balder, why did you save me? If he hadn't rescued me, he wouldn't have ended up like this."
"I still remember he said he wanted to go to the beaches of Free Port in summer for a chance encounter filled with love, but now with his appearance, he would only give tourists a fright on the beach."
"Balder then said, encounters of love are like flowing water, but junior sisters are eternal. I am his junior sister, so he had to save me for the sake of our senior-junior bond."
Belli remained silent for a moment before continuing, "Among the people I know, Balder is the least adept at crack jokes. His jokes are extraordinarily unfunny."
Aimou said nothing, just quietly listening.
