Hermione suspected that in order for her life to feel whole and happy, she needed Loki by her side, along with their daughter. She could not have one without the other and vice versa. The three of them were bound together, and until they were by each other's side once more, there would be discord within their lives. Hermione only hoped that there was a chance for reconciliation. Without that hope, there was nothing bright to look forward to. Despite the healer's best intentions, Hermione still felt weakened and as if her magic was depleting. They needed to find their way back to one another, and soon.
