[Monoceros Keep General Hospital 7:12 PM,
24th of Umbral-Tide/Darktide, Year 426]

A tall blonde and bearded man who was cladded in dark blue scrubs and an apron. He was busily working for a post mortem report of a seventy-eight year old man who passed away from a severe pneumonia and sepsis. He examined the deceased one's left lung and wrote his observations when he heard a low singing female voice from nowhere. She seemed to be so melancholic and grieving in her acapella.

Si nos mains se souviennent encore
Qu'elles se sont croisées sur mon corps
Quand elles s'attardent ça et là

Je ne sais pas
Si dans les sourires qu'on ce fait
Je vois du bonheur le reflet
C'est toujours là
C'est toujours vrai

Je ne sais pas
Si dans la douceur de ses yeux
Je me retrouve encore un peu
Après nos siècles de combat

Je ne sais pas
Ce qu'il a pu dire de nous
Quand il raccroche tout à coup
Le rouge qui pointe sur ces joues...

Doctor Javelin Smitus slowly tuned his head when the echo stopped. He sighed in his mask and thought it was a radio playing around the corridor. He continued probing the cadaver's lungs and heart as the mysterious woman continued singing. Doctor Smitus paused for a while as he couldn't concentrate at his post-mortem examination.

Je ne sais pas
Ce qu'il a bien pu faire de nous
Quand le rendez vous s'éternise
Le même rouge sur la chemise

Je ne sais pas
Pourquoi je vois déjà la fin
Quand il me dit que tout va bien
Que c'est pour rire, que c'était rien

Je ne sais pas
Pourquoi en faire tout un secret
Quand on dit qu'on ne la pas fait?
Sait-il combien je le connais?

Je ne sais pas!!

Je ne sais pas!!
Je ne sais pas....

He moved his head around the morgue and heard the sudden loudly singing in high notes. The gruff medical examiner followed the source of that voice and opened the door, leaving his workstation and turning his head around. The area was too silent as no one was playing the radio. Dr. Smitus cocked his eyebrows in doubt and sighed, returning to the morgue and the deceased male patient. Suddenly, he heard the same singing female voice. But this time, it was lower than she did recently.
