“Sky hummed a few bars, remembering the lilting, mournful notes. She hesitated, then haltingly began to sing:
This song is from the crushed part of my heart.

Sky`s voice, permantly scarred by the thornament she`d been forced to wear on warbler island as a child, was husky and pleasant, though it faltered with emotion now. She continued, half in a whisper as she trudged to the beat.

The part that thrums reminders that you`re gone.
I don't regret a moment of our days.
But i won`t fall. I`ll be okay, you know.
I`ve always been that way.

I don`t need a soul to know my name.
And I`ll get on just fine- I always do.
Alone and away.
Alone and away.”
