She pulled off her shoes and went along the beach in the shallow water of the waves that rolled upon the beach. Solomon walked a few steps behind her.

In the distance she spotted a small figure dressed in a black robe balance on the wall between the street and the beach. As she approached the person jumped down into the sand, which made the robe's hood fall down and release long violet hair.

"Saya!" the girl's voice echoed through the night. It only took a second, until she reached her and pulled her into a tight hug. "Lu-lu", Saya gasped, overwhelmed by the tender girl's strength.

"I knew you'd wake up tonight! I knew it! There is so much I have to tell you about. You have no idea, what you have missed the last thirty years." Lulu was talking nonstop, so that Saya could hardy listen and her attention was gone, when she spotted an old shabby cello leaning against the wall a few steps away.

"Is that yours?" she asked, hoping that she didn't interrupt Lulu saying something important.

"Yes, I started to practice. Do you want to hear?" Saya nodded. Music would be easier to listen to, than all those words, which came out of Lulu's mouth.

The first tone filled the silence of night, then the next and another one, creating a beautiful melody. Saya knew the song. She had heard it so many times before. Again memories were called to her mind, making her feel miserable. She turned around to the ocean to hide her tears. "Not that song", she whispered, but Lulu didn't hear her.

"Stop it!" she had spoken louder, than she had intended. The music broke up at once. "Not that song", she repeated and fell on her knees into the sand.

"I'm sorry", Lulu's voice seemed to come from fare away. Everything felt somehow unreal.

"Lulu, why don't you go to the Omoro and prepare a nice breakfast to celebrate Saya's awakening?", Solomon proposed. Saya heard her packing the cello and heading off. She wanted to stop Lulu and tell her, that she was sorry, but it seemed as if all her power had left her together with the tears.

Solomon pulled Saya up onto her feet and held her in a hug without saying a word. This time Saya allowed it. She had forgotten how secure another person's warmth could make her feel. She stood there for an eternity, her face buried at his chest. Saya had decided to enjoy life but yet everything she had been doing after waking up was crying. Some part of her felt self-pity as she thought about it, another one laughed about herself.

She forgot the world around and didn't even hear the noises of the sea, until the melody started to play again and brought her back into reality. "Lulu, don't!" there was no strength in her voice and it didn't surprise her that the music went on. She gently pushed Solomon away to turn around and tell Lulu to stop, but there was no Lulu.

He did not lift his head; instead he kept on concentrating on the strings.

"Haji!" she cried out.
