[ The radio is silent, but Russia still keeps his hands clamped over his ears - shouting into the phone in a fever pitch. ]

Why will the song not stop playing? The sound won't stop playing in Russia's head.

Make it stop playing.

Said to make it stop.

Russia said make it stop!

[reluctantly:]

Ivan.

[kol_shevik]

. . . Must be Ivan now?

[peonymarket]

What you must be, is simple; you must be strong, regardless of your name.

[kol_shevik]

Russia has been strong. Is the strongest and Mayfield can still take his Hymn and turn it into horrible noise.

[peonymarket]

["So that was your song."]

And you would lose your composure at such a thing? That is not the Russia I know.

[kol_shevik]

Is cruel to pretend you are knowing Russia at all.

[peonymarket]

And is childish for you to act like this.

[kol_shevik]

[Just a childish 'hmph' in response at first, then a full few awkward seconds of silence.]

Russia has grown since you knew him.

[peonymarket]

In two hundred years- how much?

[kol_shevik]

Russia is not child. Knows everything he is needing to know about world.

[peonymarket]

Then should know better than to throw fits where others can hear you. Others will persist in thinking of you as a child if you do those things.
