Eda sits on the roof late at night, depression and despair in her eyes as she starres at the photo, of her, Emira, King, and Hooty.

She thinks about what she's lost, about King and Emira. Flashbacks to those better days echo in her mind and her heart, her soul, overflows with pain and emotion that needs to get out.

Eda takes out an old guitar, hidden in her hair, takes a deep breath, and begins to sing a somber, sad, and nostalgic song.

"Home.
You would have loved it here,
My dear Emira,
You would have been happy if you were home.

You,
Could have seen your sister,
Finally smiling,
A family like you wanted to be, here at home.

Your, sweet smile echos,
In my memories.
The smile of my daughter,
Who's left her home.

Oh you would have loved to see,
Those two kids who live here.
They would've loved to call you,
Big sister.

Though,
Your loss echoes in my mind,
I march forward, and will avenge your life.
That's my goal.

And,
Your sister has come home.
Where she's safe at last and,
A smile is on her face, safe at home.

You,
Were my daughter whom I loved.
And lossing you haunts me.
Echos of Emira, haunt my mind.

Someday,
When I close my eyes,
And void awaits me.
Maybe if I'm not right, we'll find a new home."

As Eda takes a deep breath, calming herself, she swears she can almost hear Emira's voice, "I love you too, mom. I'll see you again someday."

She shakes her head and the whisper is gone. Owl feathers begin to grow out of her arm, and Luz sighs, recalling King's word. She takes an anti curse potion, knowing that's what King would want, and goes in through the window to go to sleep...
