Now Papa Ström is up with a few words about Sigrid. (Erik has a longer hairstyle with the pandemic still ongoing) - Erik normally was annoyed with Richard flirting with his wife Sonja while treating her coughs (mostly with medicine he gets from Aina) and chasing out unwanted creatures in the mansion, but noticed the flattery had toned down significantly over the years. After one appointment treating Sonja, Richard accidentally left his coat behind; Erik was able to find a folded letter addressed to Copenhagen in a pocket, using it to personally deliver the coat back to Richard. Erik was puzzled to see that the address led him to a house converted into a flower shop on the lower floor. He sees a pregnant girl restocking buckets with fresh-cut roses and asks if Richard was around; she reassured him that Richard would be back soon if he waited, offering tea to help pass time. As promised, Richard returned with several ice cream cones in his hands, surprised to see that Erik came all the way from Stockholm just to return his coat; as he gives the ice cream cones to the girl (who immediately starts eating one, devouring all four in minutes), Richard introduces her as his wife Sigrid. Erik was extremely shocked to find out that Richard was not only married but married to a girl so young; the shock and disgust quickly cleared off when he learned about her father’s curse, realizing how similar her situation was to his own wife Sonja who was born with a lung disease. —
