[Suu is sat in a tree, singing, with mechanical wings on her back - presumably how she got up there in the first place.]

You're taking my hand and my not shaking it off;
Our two paths merging to become one as bleeding minds;
To be born again for my sake.

To be born again in your arms.

To be--

[he looks a little wistful.] That was the first song I heard by her.

[beyourhappiness]

You picked her up?

[fiveyearstogo]

Not exactly. When I... left, Gingetsu was speaking to a friend. His friend was in the club Oruha was singing in. Her voice came through on the call.

[beyourhappiness]

Ah, I thought... maybe that's just me who can do that. [she sighs.]

Ran, I remember... I remember when she sang that song. I often thought it related to you.

[hallowedlight]

[suu's singing is noticed by a very concerned knight, who is now looking up at her from the base of the tree.]

Are you all right up there? [he hasn't noticed her wings from this angle.]

[beyourhappiness]

[she looks down, locating the owner of the voice instantly, and looks a little confused.]

Why would I... not be?

[hallowedlight]

I thought you might be unable to climb down, but I must have been mistaken. Pardon my intrusion.

[beyourhappiness]

Oh. [her face clears.] I'm sorry, I didn't understand what you meant..

I can get down. It's not hard for me. [her eyes wander to the trunk next to her, but instead, she stands up on the branch, looking ready to jump down.]

[railwaycrossing]

That tree doesn't like very safe.

[yeah, not like he cares, or anything.]

[beyourhappiness]

I'll be fine. If I breaks, I can fly.

[she looks to the bird that is now perched on her shoulder.] Is this real...?

[railwaycrossing]

If you say so. If you fall and die, that's it. Even I can't help you there. There's no 'rebirth' like your song.

[he looks at the bird... but he can't really see it, so he flys up too, and leans on the tree trunk a branch below her.] Why would it not be?

[beyourhappiness]

[she looks at the bird.] I've never seen a real one before.

There are ways you can be reborn without dying.

[but she looks at him. She remember what she was going to say last time...] Like you? You were reborn, weren't you?
