Everything had been going fine. Well, as fine as it could go when she was stuck in a strange town surrounded (mostly) by people she didn't know, living with Prussia of all people, completely unable to get home and unable to even find out what was going on at home and how her people were coping without her and what even happened when a country disappeared, anyway? She was Hungary, so what happened to her land? Holy Rome was brought here when he disappeared, and his disappearance coincided with the collapse of the empire, so did that mean Hungary was no more? Was this just what happened when countries disappeared?
Probably not, Rome wasn't here after all, nor any of the other ancients, and that didn't explain why all these other people were here, unless it was actually some sort of afterlife but really, there was no reason for her to be here, Hungary might have been having some trouble but it hadn't actually been dissolved, and even if it had been taken over she'd just be living in somebody else's house, so that couldn't possibly be it.
...
Everything had been going fine. Then she'd woken up this morning and looked at the date, and suddenly everything was even worse than it already had been.
Today was her wedding anniversary.
Even though things had ended amicably with Austria, and she was still very close to him as a person even if their countries were no longer united, that didn't mean it didn't hurt to think about their divorce. Normally she'd find some way to avoid that - to spend the day with him to remind herself that they were still close. Today, he wasn't here, and she just felt his absence all the more keenly.
She'd come out to the fields because she could lie in the grass and look up at the sky - it didn't matter where you were, the sky was the sky, and she could almost pretend that she wasn't quite so far away from home, with nobody around to spoil the illusion. Perhaps if she lay here long enough, she'd somehow find her way back. She doubted it, but for the moment it was enough to pretend.
