it would be shikoba who would first offer her open arms to the grieving moon woman, holding her tenderly as she would come to provide a soft lead towards the ulaq. this road walked by the moon villages would take time to recover from, as many wore the familiar face of grief. shikoba's tears never did dry, though the elder must breathe in her courage to keep herself afloat.

for a moment, there comes a touch of fear in shikoba's heart as she thinks of her children.
