[From the loud rustle and bump, the Tone turned on accidentally.]
...if you could tell me why your city summons people from other worlds, I would greatly appreciate it.
[Or did it? Sylvanas is clearly addressing someone else, who, from his accent, is an Elegy native.]
"This city...It likes to have a mind of its own, no? Before the train starting bringing all of you, it would let strong people go on vacation, but not for very long. The Maestro, she'd go a couple times. Always come back lookin' less than she should, you know?"
[It is hard to make out every word of his reply, but the Banshee Queen's come through clearly, her displeasure obvious.]
No, I don't. Enlighten me.
"All of us here having been hearin' the Harmony since we were born. Can't really picture a day without it, not 'less you count the Aubade which is all plenty of bad things. But the train, it took all the Libretto here on vacation and I think, just ol' Arco thinking here, it was testing to see if you Libretto hear it like we do."
I was not here during that time. Were the Libretto's reactions similar to this...Aubade?
"Some died. And they became Refrains, you know... like spirits still up an' walking around all proper like. Plenty more of us died than you Libretto though. So I think, that's what the Harmony was looking for. Wouldn't do no good if it sends you away and you just die somewhere else, see?"
[A pause.]
...You speak of the Harmony as though it has a mind of its own. Does it have a source?
[The man is clearly amused.] "Now that...is something that's been debated around for a long time, longer even than the two Maestros been sittin' at the heads of their tables. The music, the clock... it's all tied together. Some people say it's in the river, but I don't know about that. Though the river did get some awful water when people were gettin' sick."
[Her voice turns velvety and, well, rather intimate, promising more than she would give.]
And what about you? What is your place in House Madrigal?...Why has your Maestro taken an interest in me?
[The audio fizzles out. However, a textual note from Sylvanas accompanies the post:]
Punish me if you dare.
