Tillie Story

Tears Flowing


“Your tears won't bring back the dead. A whole lot of good that blubbering will do...”
- Gran

Orphaned after her parents' deaths in a conflict between witches and humans, young Tillie is raised by her grandmother. Initially overwhelmed by grief, Tillie is told by her grandmother to suppress her tears, a request born from the grandmother's own inability to cope. Years later, when her grandmother falls ill, Tillie encounters two traveling witches. One, Miss Aura, grants Tillie a wish, which she uses to save her grandmother's life. This act, however, leaves Tillie feeling indebted and incomplete.

Be Free Little Bird


“I couldn't face my own grief, and forced even you to endure your pain for my sake. I failed to teach the baby bird in my care to fly, chaining you forever to the nest. Be free now, my little bird.”
- Gran

After her grandmother passes away, Tillie finds herself unable to cry, a bottled-up grief that mirrors her earlier suppression of emotion. Driven by a desire to thank Miss Aura, Tillie ventures out, only to discover that the witch has died. At Miss Aura's grave, she meets Rustica, the other witch, and through a confrontation and shared grief, Tillie finally allows herself to mourn.

She realizes the depth of her love for her grandmother and the pain of her loss. In a final act of selflessness, Miss Aura appears briefly to heal Tillie, an act that also sets her spirit free. Tillie, in turn, offers Rustica companionship, recognizing her own need for connection and understanding.

Tillie Personality

Initially, she is deeply emotional and grieving, but after being told to suppress her tears, she becomes quiet and seemingly detached, though her inner turmoil remains. She is clearly compassionate and selfless, as shown by her wish to save her grandmother and her concern for Rustica's loneliness. Tillie is also determined, venturing out to thank Miss Aura despite the risks.

Perhaps most importantly, she possesses a gentle and forgiving nature. Even after years of suppressed grief and the loss of her grandmother, she doesn't harbor resentment, but rather seeks connection and understanding. Her willingness to open her heart to Rustica and embrace her own vulnerability suggests a capacity for deep love and an eventual triumph over emotional repression.

Chapter 1
"Stop that crying at once!"

Unable to stop crying
after the death of my parents
in the conflict between
witches and humans,
Gran snapped those words at me.
"Gran, do you not want to see
Mom and Dad again...?
I feel so sad just remembering
the two of them...!"

"Your tears won't
bring back the dead.
A whole lot of good
that blubbering will do..."

When I looked up at Gran's face,
she seemed like she was
about to cry herself...
If I keep crying all the time like this,
it'll only make Gran cry, too.
So...I promised myself
that I'd never cry again.
Chapter 2
After living deep in the forest
for many years,
Gran suddenly became sick.
No medicine seemed to work,and we grew more scared by the day.
What saved us were two traveling witches.

A witch with long, flowing blonde hair—
Miss Aura—handed me a ring
inset with a blue gemstone.

"Tell me. What is it that you wish for?"

Coaxed by her gentle voice,
I told her my wish.
"Please, save my grandmother...!"

As the words left my lips,
the blue ring began to glow bright gold.
It then became a ball of light
covering Gran.
When the light faded,
Gran's pained breaths began to cease...

"...It worked...!
Gran, everything will be all right now!
We can still be together
for a long time...yet..."
Suddenly, I lost all of my strength,
and felt on the verge of fainting.
My consciousness faded
as soon as the other witch with Aura
caught my fall.

When I came to,
the witches had long gone...
Mmm... I...missed my chance
to thank them...
Chapter 3
After the two witches left,
Gran and I spent many peaceful days
with one another.
I grew taller,
and Gran grew more wrinkles,
as we both aged side by side...

One night,
Gran handed something to me.
In the palm of her hand was a brooch
with an emblem of a bluebird on it.

"I couldn't face my own grief,
and forced even you
to endure your pain for my sake.
I failed to teach
the baby bird in my care to fly,
chaining you forever to the nest.
Be free now, my little bird."

The next morning,
Gran had passed away.
My tears won't come out...
But, when my parents died,
I could never stop crying...
Like the lid of a jam jar
crusted tightly shut,
something inside me is stuck.
But, I don't know what
that something is...

Am I...not sad...?
Have I been resenting Gran
this whole time...?
How can I be this heartless...?!
Chapter 4
What should a free bird do...?
I can't think of anything...
Anything at all...
After all, I have nothing left...
Ah... I never got to thank
Miss Aura or her friend...
Yeah... I should go thank them.
I can tell them how peaceful
the last years of Gran's life were, too...

But, as soon as I left the forest behind,
I heard a rumor—
"The blonde witch is dead."

With heavy steps,
I headed for where she was said
to have been laid to rest—
"The City of Graves."
In the seemingly endless cemetery,
standing beside Miss Aura's casket
was the witch
that had once traveled with her,
rapier in hand.
Just as I approached to greet her,
she pointed the tip of her blade
at my neck.

"Have you come here
to disturb the dead as well?"

Her cold tone sent a chill up my spine,
so I quickly shouted—

"I-I came to leave
some flowers for her!"

The witch's breath caught,
and she lowered her sword,
which had begun to tremble slightly.
When I peered up at her face,
she was crying.
Chapter 5
This person...can feel sad...
The guilt I felt seeing her tears
made my chest sting.
As if confessing a deep sin,
I blurted out
my overflowing feelings of remorse.

"My grandmother died,
but I haven't been able to cry at all...
I'm a horrible grandchild, aren't I..."
"But, you look like you're
on the verge of tears as we speak."
"I...do...?"

With those words as the trigger,
I was suddenly hit
by a flood of memories.
Our life together in the forest.
Her deeply wrinkled, but warm hands.
Her face that had once looked
so close to tears...

As I remembered all of this,
I felt something hot
rush to the corners of my eyes.
Are these...tears...?
Yeah..! I really do love Gran...!

I...don't want to believe she's gone...!
I want more time with her...!
I hate the thought
of never seeing her again...!
Of course...it makes me sad...!
Chapter 6
I laid my flowers atop Miss Aura's casket.
Through the glass case,
I could see her lying on her side.
Years had passed since her death,
but it didn't look that way at all.
It was as though she were merely asleep.
Even her once flowing locks
were now cropped short...

"You're the first to ever come here
offering flowers."

The sword-bearing witch
Miss Rustica, grew silent
after spilling those words.
I was sure that if I asked
what she meant,
it would only make her sad again.

That very instant,
a group of men suddenly appeared,
one holding a knife up to my neck.
"Hand over that witch
with the golden hair,
or this girl dies!" they said.

I don't know their motive,
but if we do what they say,
Miss Rustica will be even more sad...!
"I won't let you take her!"
I bit the man's arm
with all of my might.
My body was freed—

But, a sharp pain
ran through my back,
and my chest became red...
Miss Rustica...
Don't...look at me like that...
Chapter 7
Something...feels warm...
Hands emitting golden light
were pressing against
the wound on my chest.
The hands belonged to Miss Aura.
As our eyes met, she gave a small smile...

"I've always wanted
to give you my thanks...!
Thank you, Miss Aura...!"
At those words, Miss Aura's smile
seemed to grow a bit sad,
and she hugged me tightly to her...

When I came to,
I was in Miss Rustica's arms.
The group of men had all vanished.
Miss Aura was also nowhere to be seen.
"Is Miss Aura gone...
because she healed me...?"

"No. You set her free.
And...me as well..."

I can't let Miss Rustica be all alone...!
I quickly reached out my hand to her.

"Would you like to travel
the world with me?"

Miss Rustica's eyes widened.
But, she then smiled softly,
and took my outstretched hand.
Gran... I...won't stuff down
my grief any longer.
I'll remember you and my parents,
cry every last tear,
and then move forward again.

That way, I'm sure I'll be able
to fly freely once more...!

Login 1 H... Hello, Duke...!
Login 2 Ah...! Duke! It’s a relief to see you again... I was worried something may have happened to you. I’m just glad to see you’re all right.
Home 1 Migratory birds don’t stop in just one place. They spread their wings, and travel far and wide. I’ll do my best not to lose to them!
Home 2 Oh, I apologize for spacing out, Duke... I was just gazing out the window. It just looks and feels so similar to what I’d see outside the window of the house I lived in with Gran, I couldn’t help myself... Despite this being a whole different world and country, it’s strange that it can still make me feel so nostalgic, don’t you think?
Home 3 The truth is, I was once on the verge of death, when Miss Rustica’s friend...Miss Aura, saved me. Lady Rosalie said that, since I’d been given a piece of Miss Aura’s power before, it activated in that moment, and became my power as a witch. I’m not sure what really happened that day, but the idea of being given her power is like inheriting a family quilt. It’s quite a lovely thought, wouldn’t you say?
Home 4 Duke. I just made some hot cocoa, so please have some if you’d like. Also...take care to rest so you don’t push yourself to the breaking point, okay...? I’ll help with anything too if you need it!
Home 5 The weather today was good, so I washed your bedding together with Monica. It all got really soft, so it should feel very cozy to sleep on! I also put a pouch of dried flowers by your pillow to help you sleep better. If the scent is too strong for you, I’ll go change it, so just let me know!
Home 6 Happy birthday, Duke...! My present for you is, um...a handkerchief I embroidered a bluebird onto... I’m sorry it’s such a simple gift... You’re so kind, Duke, that I just want you to be happy... You are? Hehehe, I’m glad!
Home 7 I only became a witch recently, but I’ll do my best to become someone you can all rely on some day! I’m good at things like laundry, cooking, cleaning, sewing... Uuu... But, saying that makes me feel...like I’m not actually all that reliable here, huh...? I-I’ll go run around the garden a little to help build some muscle up!
Home 8 Miss Rustica may seem cold, but she’s actually a very kind and caring person! Oh, I know! Just think of her as a slightly larger than average cat... Ah! P-Please keep it a secret from Miss Rustica that I compared her to a cat! Pinky swear you won’t...?
Home 9 What are my favorite foods...? Um...maybe porridge...? I used to eat it a lot with Gran... It’s also really good when you add honey or dried fruits on top too...! Other than that... I suppose I also like herb tea and salads made from medicinal plants...? Hmm... I don’t think I’ve ever thought about what foods I like before...
Home 10 Gran made a lot of gifts for me using her power as a witch. This bluebird brooch is one of those gifts. It seems to be based on a species of migratory bird, though I don’t know its exact name... But, bluebirds are nice, aren’t they? They’re a symbol of good luck, so looking at this brooch makes me feel hopeful that something good will happen.
Home 11 I heard that Miss Freesia also lived together with her grandmother! But, when Miss Freesia talked about her, she looked like she was trying to hold back tears... We both got a little teary-eyed then. The day after, she gave me a freesia flower as thanks for our conversation, but... What do you think would be a good gift in return...?
Home 12 It probably isn’t good to drown in one’s sadness... But, I still want people to know it’s okay to feel sad. You don’t have to hold back your tears. It’s okay to let everything pour out, and then move forward. ...If you ever feel like you want to cry, Duke, please tell me. I’ll stay right by your side, as long as you need me.
Awakening 1 Th-Thank you very much! I’ll do my best to be of use to you!
Awakening 2 ...I’m starting to worry if I can really contribute enough as I am... Uuu... I hope I can...
Awakening 3 I can’t stay worried forever, can I? Yeah, it’ll be okay. I can do this...
Awakening 4 Am I being of use to everyone? I’m worried if I’m doing all of this right or not... If I’m not doing enough, please don’t hesitate to let me know, okay?
Awakening 5 You’re always doing so much for me, Duke, but I... I need to work even harder!
Awakening 6 Duke, thank you so much for all that you do for me...! I don’t have much experience in battle, so I’m usually just doing my best not to get in everyone else’s way... But, I’ll do everything in my power to stand beside you all without bringing you guys down! Please, let me keep fighting by your side as long as I’m of use to you!
Victory Duke, are you hurt anywhere...? ...I’m glad to hear you’re unharmed...!
Defeat Uuu... I’m sorry... If I had only tried a little harder...
Skill 1 I just want to protect everyone...!
Skill 2 If you’re going to hurt my friends...!
