How are you today, Mother?
Oh, I'm fine. What can I do for you, dear?
I've been thinking about my childhood a great deal lately... And the times you would visit me during your trips to my Deeprealm.
I'm so sorry, Shigure... I wish I had been around more often when you were growing up.
N-no, I wasn't trying to make you feel bad about that.
Do you remember when we used to sing together?
Certainly. We used to sit side by side and come up with songs for hours and hours.
Yes, we did...
Say... Remember that song we used to sing? It's been so long... Would you like to sing it with me again?
Oh... You mean right now?
Yes, if you feel like it.
That sounds wonderful, Mother!
OK! Do you recall the lyrics?
Of course. How could I forget?
All right, let's give it a shot then. One, two, three...
You are the ocean's gray waves ♪
Destined to seek life beyond the shore ♪
...Huh?
Shigure? Is something wrong?
It's strange... I can't seem to hit the right notes. I used to be able to sing this song perfectly. I remember the lyrics and the melody. How can this be?
That's a part of growing up. Your voice has changed. We used to sing the same... But now that your voice is lower, it isn't possible for you to hit those notes.
O-oh... That makes sense. Hmm... I guess there's nothing I can really do. It's a little bit bittersweet.
I think I have an idea. I need a bit of time to figure this out. Do you mind?
No, of course not. What are you going to do?
You just have to trust me. I think it will make you happy.
A-all right, if you say so...
