Duck's been looking for Mytho all day.

And Mytho's been looking for Princess Tutu.

"Is my prince searching for someone?"It's Tutu and not Duck who asks; it's Tutu, and not Duck, that Mytho shelters with the umbrella that Duck gave him

There's quiet laughter, and the air fills with crows.

The heart shard is caught in the vines, half-sunk into the Prince's chest, when Princess Kraehe lands behind them. She lowers her arms slowly, they cross her face and then settle into love.

Tutu twists her neck around as far as she can.

(She already knows what she'll see.)

"Kraehe!"

"The feeling of love, you say?" Kraehe asks, voice brittle and amused as Mytho falls to his knees. "I had intended to finish Princess Tutu...but this is quite a find."

Her arms lower gracefully to her sides, and she steps towards the Prince on the ground. "And now," she says, speaking to Tutu though her gaze is on him, "to shame you as well."

. . . so now Kraehe knows her identity.

No, she can't let the part of her that's Duck get distracted by that; she has more important things to worry about. Like Mytho, crouched on the ground, the heartshard of love still protruding from his chest.

He's in pain.

"What are you going to do, Kraehe?"
