What is a soul without love? What is love without a soul? [Psyche's voice is sweet and pure, though there is something sad about her tone.] We were wed before your family and friends and now I am without you.
[Her desperation and loneliness becomes clear after those words.]
Eros, what shall I do? You promised we would be husband and wife forevermore. But how can that be if I'm here and you're beyond my reach? [There is a hitch behind her words - almost as if she is on the verge of tears.] I overcame so much for you. Why would you send me back to live amongst mortals?
[Burying her hands in her hair, Psyche loses herself, briefly, in despair.]
...must I wait? Is that what you desire? As an immortal... I must wait? [Her brow creases in confusion.] Will that prove my feelings?
I can't think of another reason I would be sent here. [The smallest of nods follows that musing and the girl straightens, balling her hands into small fists.] Residents, tell me more of your city.
