[Now that you're closer, you can see the dark bags under his eyes (one of them, at least). Also, his clothes are torn and have traces of dry blood on them.
They stain the trunk. Not all branches act the same, but... This is known as the Tree of Life now. Everyone here needs it to stay the way it is because it's what keeps everyone alive. Letting it change colors is punishable by monochromatosis. So it's my job to prune them. No one else will.
[There is no one guarding the entrance to the village when you arrive!
You can enter the village freely-- it’s a normal village that corresponds to... RPG aesthetics and the Japanese idea of what a medieval European village should be, obviously. Nothing you haven't seen before. It’s late, but there are several people crowding the streets, and all of them are heading towards the direction of the main square, talking between themselves and laughing.
The main path seems to lead to the church. You can also go right, or follow the smell of bread.]
[You can tell this is the bakery because it smells like bread-- but not because of anything they have on display behind the window. After all, there’s nothing there. Just empty trays...
The baker’s wife notices you, and comes out of the store.]

Obviously it's Sol, but he is wearing an eyepatch on his right eye. He looks much paler than usual.
He stands up fast when he sees her.]
Y-Yuuki?!

H-Hi...

You have to be freezing! Come closer to the fire, otherwise you'll get a head cold!
no subject
Are you okay?

He's taking off his scarf.]
Well, I'm hungry, but that can't be helped...
no subject
no subject
That can't be helped either. Being here is my Calling, after all.
no subject
No it's not!!
no subject
But it is. My job, for the rest of eternity, is to look after this tree. To trim its branches every day, so that the tree can thrive.

Who else needs to be kept alive by it?

[he brings his hand close to her shoulder and murmurs a few words (she can make out the words Generate Thermal Element) and now her clothes are warm.]

—B-But you really don't have to stay here! Um. Where's the village? I'll bring you food.

[he fishes for something inside his pockets, and then hands it to her]
You can't buy things with points here, so take this. The bakery might still be open.
no subject
[takes it, getting up]
But I still have more questions for when I get back.
no subject
no subject
It's not, don't worry.
Anyway, be right back!
[and she's using Quick as a Wink to get there fast]
