The days and weeks pass with little incident, until Fern and Stark have a fight.
In this particular instance, Sein is very much an audience surrogate!
Aside from not liking her own kind; i.e.
The final goodbye is appropriately quick and understated.
Hopefully hell find his friend soon.
Frieren, Fern, and Stark continue towards Auerst, but one day Fern wont wake up.
Frieren says that ever since Fern was a little kid, shes always held her hand like this.
She was once so tiny, but in the blink of an eyean elfs eye, especiallyshe grew up.
She probably doesnt know that virtuallyallmothers feel that way about their kids.
After some fun obstacles, Frieren and Stark make it to the majestic icicle cherry blossom tree she sought.
Before she does, she tells Stark the real reason she held Ferns hand.
She held it because looked like Fern was in pain, and she wanted to relieve that pain.
Fern again protests, saying shes not a child.
Frieren keeps holding her hand and tells her she knows.
Fern understands and smiles.
Eventually, shes fully recovered, thanks to Frieren, Stark, and the kind lady.
Now its off to Auerst.
