Mother was a virtual representation of one of Eivor Varinsdottir's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.

Description

Eivor heard a woman asking for help from a house surrounded by wolves.

Dialogue

As Eivor approached a house, she heard a woman's voice and was attacked by wolves.

• Woman's Voice: Hello? Is someone out there? I am young, nubile, and yet untouched by another's... hand. All I want is my freedom. My flowing blonde locks to feel the fragrant breeze. My ample bosom, the warmth of the sun. Flowers would be nice. I miss their sunny faces. But the wolves... My waiflike waist and slim wrists are no match for them.

Eivor killed the wolves and approached the house.

• Woman's Voice: Hello? O brave protector. Have you come to claim my hand? And did you bring me pretty flowers? To weave within my golden locks?

As the house door remained locked, Eivor decided to procure the flowers.

• Eivor: Perhaps some pretty flowers will get her to open the door.

She got some flowers nearby.

• Woman's Voice: I have unlocked the door, kind stranger. You are welcome to come in.

Eivor entered the house to find a man with short black hair.

• Eivor: So, you have lured me in. Explain yourself.
• Lonely Man: It's just been a while since anyone passed this way, and I wanted to be sure you would stay and visit.
• Eivor: By pretending to be a pretty young maid?
• Lonely Man: My mother used to tell me stories, legends of a forgotten king. Of magic swords rising from misty lake waters. There was often a fair maiden. Lonely and locked away. I fell in love with that sweet fantasy. So much more romantic than a pathetic man whiling away the hours until death.
• Eivor: A sad shadow-play. So, where is your mother now?
• Lonely Man: Dead these last three years and buried under the flowers she loved. I wanted to move on, but I cannot bear to leave her.

You should move closer to people.Your woeful tale doesn't interest me.

• Eivor: Your mother would not want you to be so love-starved. Leave this house of grief.
• Lonely Man: You are right. She was always so happy, laughing and singing. It would break her heart to see me so forlorn. I will not let sentimentality be the shackles of my soul. I will find work in the village. Even meet a girl and start my own family.
• Eivor: And tell them stories of magic, heroes, and fair maidens.
• Lonely Man: Thank you, stranger, you have given me a glimpse of a sweeter life. This was hers, take it, for it saddens me to look on.

He gifted her a necklace.

• Eivor: I hope you find what you are looking for. Farewell.
• Lonely Man: I am glad you stopped by. It brought me some comfort.

• Eivor: Many lose loved ones. And they do not bind themselves with grief-shackles. Your mother is at peace.
• Lonely Man: And what of my peace? My life here is pallid and dank as a grave-shroud.
• Eivor: Your life is your own to live.
• Lonely Man: You are right. But now I beg you, leave me to my sorrow.
• Eivor: I hope you find what you are looking for. Farewell.

Eivor read a letter on the table before leaving.

Tearstained Letter

I am not blaming you, but why did you have to die? You left me all alone here, in this cold, cold house no longer filled with sunny days and joyful laughter. Every night, I lie in bed and retell the wonderful stories you gave me. Sometimes I use your voice. It makes me think for a moment that you are still here, holding my hand as I fall gently asleep. I love you, Mother. Rest in peace.

Outcome

Eivor killed the wolves and picked some blue flowers for the man.
