““Sky hummed a few bars, remembering the lilting, mournful notes. She hesitated, then haltingly began to sing: This song is from the crushed part of my heart. Sky's voice, permantly scarred by the thornament she'd been forced to wear on warbler island as a child, was husky and pleasant, though it faltered with emotion now.

I've always been that way. As much as I wish you back with me, I'm still the same. My dreams remain. I don't need a soul to know my name. And I'll get on just fine- I always do. Alone and away. Alone and away.””
