Lilting
Smell is often the sense which remembers things most clearly, but it's the sounds which Sync has grown so accustomed to over the years that has endeared Daath to him. The place may have some dark and horrible memories attached to it, but that doesn't stop him from calling the place home.
It's the one place that he's ever felt welcome, and it's also that one place where the sounds all reassure him that time goes on, that there will be a tomorrow. And it's not in the Score readings which he hears wherever he goes, or the preachings of the Score that are read in the cathedral. No, it's all about that beautiful lilting voice that tells him the news of the town when he's been away, that reads to him in the night, that keeps him company whenever he needs it.
The sound of Ion's voice is all that keeps him there, that keeps him coming back.
FIN.
