... we met when she came back that day... from the Malnosso. I was out by the lake when I heard her... [ shakes her head ] I helped her out of the water and tried to keep her warm until help arrived. After a while, I went to look to see if anyone was coming... by the time I got back, she was gone. The person she was waiting for must have picked her up.

[ a pause. softly ] She said she'd teach me how to make a bow.
