You've gotten used to her being there for you, right? It must be strange to lose that, after so long.

[ makes sense it'd feel weird with her gone, when delilah had quite literally changed the course of her life, and afterlife. but now she isn't here to whisper such poisonous things in laudna's ears, either. ]

It sounds to me like you're... happier, I think, to be free to make your own choices without her influence. [ not that this is the happiest situation to be in, but. ] You did look distressed when you heard her again last week. But there's nothing wrong with taking time to figure out what feels right to you, Laudna-dono. Things like that, matters of the heart and figuring out what's best for you or for others... it's difficult, but I believe that you'll find the answers.
