[ Oriphi has, and likely always be, an incredibly sentimental person. It’s why she was ill-fitted to be a mercenary with her sister. Why Colin ultimately chose to leave her with the group, rather than take her with him. Because she cares too much, and she would sooner drive herself into the ground bearing the weight of everyone’s emotions than see any of them break and lose themselves the way that Eustace did.

After all, we’ve already lost someone dear to us…
