He was... very kind, and very brave, and very smart. He could do anything! But he always had time to play with me.

[ He was the best!! essentially. Even now, however many years (decades? centuries?) later, she still speaks of him with such warmth and affection that maybe it's only a concept that she remembers. But it still speaks a lot when the lingering memories you have of a person are ones filled with love and safety. ]

He said he would come back for me. He's never broken a promise before...
