Hypatia’s Farewell

Version 1

I suppose I owe you thanks for what you’ve done, but it seems something vital has been torn from my head and maybe from my heart. My hopes for a full recovery are low.

As I walk the streets of Karnaca, everyone seems broken. Maybe someday I’ll be recovered enough to go back to my work, helping the workers here, but I’m not sure.

There’s still a dark cloud over me.

Version 2

I can never thank you for what you’ve done, but rest assured that I’m feeling myself again. Once my recovery is complete, I’ll go back to my work, helping the workers in Karnaca.

There’s an excitement growing in me about what the future might hold.

It’s as if I’ve awakened from a terrible dream.
