They walk throught the Hidden Forest with calm, and they both keep talking so much that people could even think that they are a couple! When the fisrt talks about her life in the Village of Dreams and how she would like to see her real home again, the other nods and looks at her with inspired eyes; when he tells her of the Lessons of Passage, of his family and of how he really feels about being a future Elder, she listens carefully to every word of him.
«It is like... A prison, something I cannot run away from» he explains, getting always more sad for that truth. «It's just that, because of the Elders and the Light and that stuff... I lost my... My real past and all, you know...». It's getting really hard to speak.
The Forest is rainy as always, like the first time they went in there together. Like when they played that song together, like when he literally passed out on her, like when he made her escape from the Elder, like when he comforted her after the Cave of the Crying Spirit... And like when the Elder Teth gave her that... That jewel.
«Do you still have that thing that Teth gave you?» Oj' the asks Sentinekka. Then he exclaims:«Oh, sorry, I forgot that you don't know the names of-».
«I still have it in the house where I live in... At the Village of Dreams. Why do you ask?» Sentinekka answers with no problems. She... She knows them? She knows the Elders' names? All of them? The girl adds:«Oj', I know all of the Elders, don't worry».
Oh, she is surprising him so much! The graceful behavior, the intelligence?! She changed. Wow.
«You are somehow amazing...» he'd love to say, but he remains silent and smiles.
«You don't wanna be... A King, right?».
«I hate only the thought of that».
«I want to help you! We can ask someone if they can make you more... More like me and the other Children of Light! What do you say?».
He shakes his head. «Not possible. I'm already like you, I just am born to take the Light back. The only thing that could save me it's the death or Darkness... Or the Light itself, if it doesn't want me... But, sadly, the Megabird chose me».
«I'm not going to let you die, Ojtaro». Sentinekka says these words with such belief. She doesn't want him to leave, how sweet! Friends are important, and she knows it better than anyone else, as she knows that...
«It's just Megabird, anyway. Not "The Megabird". Just Megabird».
«Oh, you want me to hate you?».
Sentinekka laughs in a silly way. She's amused by the behavior of Ojtaro, sometimes.

''Sometimes you have to make others talk too, right?''
«I am not going to take you two with me, alright? I would love to see my best friend without you trying to do whatever you are planning to do! Am I clear?» Symphony asks in a cold tone to Tewezo and Youssef, who look at her in a dramatic and sad way.
«You know that we'll reach you?» Tewezo asks, amused. She loves the way Symphony treats them, that kind of mature and cold behavior that reminds her of the Hidden Forest Elder.
«You better not if you care about your life or our friendship. And I'm talking to both of you» the other replies, while looking at the siblings and fixing her hair.
Symphony already planned the whole journey to reach the Village of Dreams. She is going to see Sentinekka again: finally...
