And I remembered that when I was writing the story, I imagined that only a few days had passed between Gion's capture in the bandits' fort and his purchase by Beata, and he was simply separated and beaten a little, nothing too terrible was done to him. That's why he's so cheerful in the story and doesn't reflect much at the beginning of the game. But then I got carried away, and since the description in the story was vague, I added a year and a half of intense hardship 24/7, broke Gion's psyche, forced Beata to fix it back with blue tape and other things, and somehow pieced these parts together, trying not to drastically change the moment of the purchase. But if I had known at that time what kind of hell Gion had gone through, I would have written this scene and the story itself differently.
