The Song of Kaxilda

"Case."

"elder sister?"

"What is the father thinking?"

"You should know better than me."

"I've never seen him like that."

"He's never seen me like this."

There was a brief silence in the darkness, followed by a helpless chuckle.

"There is no time."

"No time?"

"Will he come?"

"He will come..."

"If it's him, leave it to me."

"If it is him, I will leave it to you."

"Okay, that's it."

"Okay, that's it."

The night was quiet again.
