[Down on her knees, planting some berry seeds in dark black soil, a Pavo is singing softly to herself, the English words tinged slightly with the accent of her native tongue.]

For look, I open the door of victory for you . . . ♪

[Shakes her head.]

It's not too bad.

. . . but you are.

I think everyone gets hungry here, sometimes. Right now . . . they need more time.

I can do that much.

It's not good to stay hungry though.

I know.

Do you want to try my pills?

But those . . . aren't they for helping you? When things get too bad.

It might help you too.

But... it tastes different. So, there's always that chance you might not like it.

Lizards taste different too.

It's still something.

. . . Feathers.

. . . Zero?

Please take care of yourself.

I will.

Taking care of my team . . . it means looking after everyone who's part of it. Even myself.

If you still haven't eaten in a day, come... talk to me.

Okay.

. . . but . . . just to talk. Delphinus has more people to look after than we do.

Actually, when you think about it... it's two for two.

I think.

[Shakes her head.]

It's . . . not the same.

. . . Tama keeps himself very well fed, you don't have to worry about him.

Has Zero ever wondered?

About Sunny.

He feels funny.

He's different from you and me. And Tama, too. Without his bracer on . . . Zero might not feel him at all.

...

why?

Because, like that . . . he stops being like us at all.

What?

His magic drowns it out.
