[There's a gentleness about her gaze as she watches the dream, but as soon as it's over, her expression becomes blank.]

That song... does it curb your hunger?

[breast_feeder]

*She nods.* Yes, that's right. I don't know why...

[knightmare_hime]

Does it have to be that woman who sings it?

[breast_feeder]

I'm uncertain. That is the only song I've ever heard.

[knightmare_hime]

Does it work on all of your kind, or only you?

[breast_feeder]

On all of us.

[knightmare_hime]

Then you've had a cure for suppressing your hunger this entire time and haven't told us?

[breast_feeder]

I...It didn't even occur to me, to be honest. Sera isn't here...

And she is the only one we know who can sing.

[knightmare_hime]

There are plenty of people here that are musically inclined. Do you know the song? Could you help us to learn it?

I realize that there are others within your circle who have no interest in finding a cure. But if we signed a contract or made a deal that we wouldn't harm you, would you be willing to work with us while we look into this matter?

*Argilla is completely silent for a moment. She has never expected to hear such kindness from these people outside of her tribe. She can't help but cry as her new emotions get the best of her again.*

I would do anything to be rid of this curse.

[knightmare_hime]

[Speaking to her gently.]

What's your name?

[breast_feeder]

Argilla.

[knightmare_hime]

Miss Argilla, thank you very much for your consideration.

Have you memorized the song?

[breast_feeder]

I think I might be able to recall the words...

If not, I'm sure one of my comrades will be able to.

[knightmare_hime]

And the melody?

[breast_feeder]

...'Melody'?
