"How would any of you understand the pain of losing a child? We just looked away for a moment and all our children were attacked by demons, turned into bloody, mangled corpses. My Second Child was so well-behaved...always so obedient. Now, no matter how much I call, he no longer responds."
"It was the Village Chief...the Chief gave us hope. He paid any price to find the old resurrection ritual. Even if it meant bearing the weight of this sins, he wanted to help us bring our children back. And he succeeded. Were it not for you, the ceremony would have been successful, and my child would have already been home."
Gary Smith responded indifferently to this, even finding it slightly amusing. Just because it's for their children, they can sacrifice other adventurers? Aren't they someone else's children too?
The other villagers were also stirred up, shouting:
"Chief, we'll stand by you and bear the consequences."
