♕ the time's come to play
[There's a soft trill of music on the air, followed by a gentle laugh.]
Did you have fun? Did you dance the night away and stave off the spirits that wander on such a night? Did you feast, on the day before the dead months? Did you celebrate? Did you live, did you laugh, did you love?
[And now the music deepens, turning a little more urgent.]
Did you hear us ride?
None of you followed us. How sad! You may have seen where we come from. Ah, but one of you did see us, did you not? Pretty girl, here me speak:
[And now the music vanishes completely.]
The gates are open. Won't you come through?
[Her laughter trills into the air, and then vanishes into the wind.]
