““There was love here, the voice said again. But whose love? Ico wondered. He had assumed Ozuma had been talking about the queen and her daughter--but maybe... From the very first time he had seen her, Ico had wanted to save Yorda. There had been no thought, no reason--when he saw her in the cage, he knew he had to set her free.””
