00:01C'est parti !
00:30Hmm, you've been off lately. Is something wrong?
00:34No, what makes you say that?
00:37It's been five days since you've popped up behind me like a ghost, asking why I haven't gone to hear
00:43you sing.
00:45You're hearing those voices again, aren't you?
00:48It's just something that happens every now and then. They're not real.
00:53Hmm, well, just know I'm keeping an eye on you, Vodinitza.
00:59Well, you do know how much I love having all eyes on me.
01:04Vodinitza, we found you!
01:07Oh, phew, that was exhausting.
01:10Oh, look at that! You're here too!
01:14Are you getting ready for a performance?
01:20Sure am. It's the one I told you about last time.
01:23It's a bit of a special occasion, though, so it's not completely open to the public.
01:28Ah, one of those. Only people with handwritten tickets can attend?
01:34That's right. It's just a shame that fewer and fewer people truly meet that criterion nowadays.
01:40Hmph. I've had enough of people who treat their ticket like a token they can cash in for something better.
01:46They might think they can hide their intentions behind fake enthusiasm and flower baskets.
01:54But too bad for them, I happen to have excellent hearing.
01:58So, if they think I can't hear the schemes rattling around their brains and the mora jingling in their pockets,
02:05they've got another thing coming.
02:08Clearly, they have no interest in hearing me sing, so why should I let them through the door?
02:14To clarify, Vodinitza is going to announce that certain handwritten tickets are invalid.
02:20If those people decide to act up, they'll take it up a notch by publishing their names in the paper.
02:27Hahaha, like I care! I wrote those tickets, so I get to say whose counts and whose doesn't.
02:34I gave those people the gift of my song, but they tossed it aside like trash.
02:40They insulted my art. The last thing they deserve is my respect.
02:45Okay. Um, you don't think they'll come to the theater and cause trouble, though, do you?
02:52They don't have the guts for that.
02:55Exactly. Besides, I don't just sing for me. I sing for every water imp whose voice has ever graced this
03:02theater.
03:03I'm the only one left. I'm the only one who can keep these songs alive.
03:10Sorry. I have things to take care of backstage.
03:14Excuse me for a moment.
03:16Odette, look after the Traveler and Paimon for me, will you?
03:20Of course.
03:28Odette, is everything okay with Bodianitsa?
03:32She looks super tired.
03:36The water imps in the theater have been acting up again.
03:41Not to us, but to her, their voices have never truly disappeared.
03:52She's memorized every piece a water imp has ever performed here, and she never misses a chance to take to
03:59the stage and sing their songs over and over again.
04:02Joyous odes, sorrowful elegies, sweeping heroic anthems.
04:07She knows them all by heart.
04:11I've asked her why she does it, and all she said was,
04:15It's all I can do.
04:17All I can do for the departed water imps is sing for them.
04:29So, every so often, she holds a special performance to sing the songs they've left behind.
04:37According to Bodianitsa, the songs are so old, there are few people left who truly appreciate them.
04:44But, since they were written by the water imps themselves,
04:48Bodianitsa thought that performing their songs would give people the chance to hear the voices of the water imps who
04:53poured their hearts and souls into this place,
04:56but had no choice but to leave.
04:59At first, we thought a show like that would catch people's interest,
05:02so we tried teaching the songs to other experienced singers in the theater.
05:30So, that's why Bodianitsa can't stand it when people come to her shows and don't appreciate the music.
05:37She gave handwritten tickets to people she thought she could trust.
05:41People she thought actually cared about her art.
05:47Obviously, I can't speak for Bodianitsa.
05:50But, since she's also a water imp, I can't help but wonder whether...
05:57Hmm.
06:00Yes.
06:02When she's no longer the principal soprano.
06:04When she's no longer the prima donna that everyone adores.
06:09Will her songs be forgotten like the other water imps?
06:12Left to echo through this vaulted space with no one there to hear them?
06:17Right now, she's here to keep the other water imps' songs alive.
06:22But when she's gone,
06:25who will be there to keep her songs alive?
06:27Oh, no wonder she seems so sad all of a sudden.
06:40Huh, interesting.
06:43Well, if you need my help,
06:45come find me at the theater anytime.
06:48Will do.
06:50Iman knew you really cared about Bodianitsa, oh, Dad.
06:53Only true friends can read each other's mood like that.
06:56I wasn't reading her mood.
07:00She talks in her sleep.
07:02I just happened to overhear those things while she was napping in the lounge just now.
07:08I must have fallen asleep at some point, too.
07:11Anyway, I should head backstage and help get things in order.
07:15Bye, you two.
07:17Huh?
07:17Wait a second!
07:19Odette!
07:21Odette!
07:23Odette!
07:27Odette!
07:27Odette!
07:29Odette!
07:33Odette!
07:34Odette!
07:36Odette!
07:37Odette!
07:37Odette!
07:37Odette!
07:37Odette!
07:37Odette!
