Hekla: Hello, Player. Have you seen my Jina? I believe she was parambulating this way.
Hekla: Without me at her side, the likelihood of disaster befalling her greatly increases with every passing second.

Jina: Me? Die? But I'm not even that old...
Jina: I guess it makes sense. The first thing she learned was the person she was supposed to care for was already dead. I know I'd be upset.
Jina: But maybe there is something we can do for her.
Jina: When I was little, my grandmother took care of me whenever my Dad was away on research trips.
Jina: She passed away shortly before I started at the Institute. I was kinda wrecked. She'd supported me so much and now she was no longer there.
Jina: My father organized a funeral for her. Seeing her body be given back to the Wellspring helped remind me how beautiful life is.
Jina: I know! Let's give Hekla a funeral for Sona... er, the potato that is kind of like Sona.

3 lines Hekla is worried that Jina might 'expire.' To help her with these feelings, Jina has suggested you hold a funeral for Sona. The potato version of Sona, at least.
Jina has asked you to invite Hekla to Sona's funeral. Hopefully this will help Hekla feel better about her loss.
Hekla: Yes, my Jina once told me about the expiration of her grandmother. While she experienced mild distress in the retelling, it was not outside of manageable parameters.
Hekla: Whereas when I think about the loss of my Sona, or the potential loss of my Jina, my body feels as if it is on the brink of malfunctioning.
Hekla: Very well. Based on the conversation between you and I earlier, I have also been expressing my distress to Einar.
Hekla: Perhaps I shall invite him to share in our feelings of misery.

2 lines You learned that Ancient Humans cremated their dead in Pyroflow. Meet Jina and Hekla at the Temple of the Flames, so you can give Sona a proper funeral and help Hekla move on.
Jina: Perfect! I knew you'd come through for Hekla.
Jina: Okay. According to the book you found...
Jina: (Jina carefully cleans the potato with a damp cloth, wraps it in silk, and places it on the altar, before putting the silver on top of its button eyes.)
Jina: Today we put baby Sona to rest, and return her spirit to the Flame.
Jina: I'm sorry you never got to see the world. I'm sure you would've been an incredible Human.
Jina: Maybe I'd even have found something you've left behind, thousands of years later!
Jina: Still, I hope that whatever awaited you after you crossed the Veil makes you happy.
Jina: And I hope you know that Hekla would've been the best Caretaker ever, if you'd gotten the chance to know her.
Jina: Uhm, that's all I have to say. I hope it helped.
You have held a funeral for Sona. The only thing left is to check in on how Hekla's feeling.
