Permission to Weep

Permission to Weep was a virtual representation of one of Eivor Varinsdottir's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan in 2020 through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
==Description==
Eivor came across a man next to a bonfire for burning corpses.
==Dialogue==
Eivor came upon a man before a funeral pyre.
*Sten: I cannot even weep!
She approached him.
*Eivor: Why the cursing, vikingr?
*Sten: These are the funeral embers of the last of my raiding crew. One by one, they have fallen.
*Eivor: It is a heavy loss.
*Sten: There is more. Just days ago, news from Norway tells me my family has been taken by the plague. All of them, all!
*Eivor: Vikingr...
*Sten: My wife, my children. All my pretty ones. It is too much.
*Eivor: You must grieve for your loss, friend.
*Sten: I cannot weep! As a raider, I taught myself not to. Could you... could you give me leave to weep?
*Eivor: What do you mean?
*Sten: You are a vikingr, as am I. Perhaps if you gave me leave, I would water the earth with a storm of tears to soften the pain.

|-|(3 Charisma) I give you permission.=
*Eivor: Consider me your chieftain. Consider that I command you. Weep, vikingr! Weep!
*Sten: It is no good. I cannot... I-I cannot, uh, uh. O, god!
The man broke down sobbing.
*Eivor: Weep, my friend. I'll leave you in peace.
|-|(Fight) Relieve your anger, fight me!=
*Eivor: We must distract your mind from this sadness. Let us fight a to first blood.
*Sten: It is a good idea. I cannot weep, but I can still fight.
Eivor and Sten fought each other.
*Sten: Take this! Ah, this feels good!
Eivor beat him in combat.
*Sten: Huh. It is always good to fight. But friend, it did not take away my grief.

Eivor found the notes Sten had mentioned.
==Outcome==
Eivor helped Sten by giving him an outlet through which to mourn his lost friends and family.
