[When she had barged into his room in the hotel and found him gone, left, it... was no longer possible for her to hold back at that point. Even if the palace is somewhere she has avoided for a long time, its hallways holding nothing but the echo of pain to her now.
The look on his face, accompanied by the anxious tired look in his eyes, brings words to her lips before she can truly think them through. A gift of her mother's to hell, her songs that helped them all speak when traditional words ran dry.]
♫ No matter what, time moves on and there's no getting back what's already gone. So why is it that you're withdrawn when we should be moving to a brand new dawn?
I'm sick of you using important business as an excuse to cover up your sickness. Do you really think that I can't witness this distance between us, this pain, this stillness.
I'm not a baby anymore, I'm a woman grown! You don't need to hide on your solitary throne pretending you're not hurt down to the bone!♫
[And then her voice softens, trembling and sad.]
♫ Please... don't leave me... all alone. Again.♫
[Her voice cracks completely on the last word, and tears spill despite her best efforts to keep them back. She rubs the heel of her hand over her face to dash them away, smearing blood and tears together where the cut on her face had opened again with the action.
Song done, music over, the silence that falls is deafening.]
