Kaijuu blundered through the forest. Her senses were dull and her mind was blank, all she could feel was the music flowing through her. Her mind briefly registered Argus disappearing into a large hole in the ground but all she could do was follow him. The music was so familiar, it was warm and comforting and it reminded her of something from deep in her past although she couldn't pinpoint it. When she entered the cave the song was reverberated on the walls, bouncing back at her from all directions. She was sure she had heard this song before but she couldn't remember where. As Kai walked through the cave she was taken back, back to a time before her heart was filled with rage. Back when she could still see the good in all creatures, back when her parents were still alive.

Suddenly it hit her, that was where she had heard the song, her mother used to sing it all the time when she was working and Kai would listen to it day in and day out. The voice and the melody all sounded so familiar, memories all rushed back to her all at once. She remembered how happy her life had been before that fateful day and suddenly her heart was filled with a deep longing. Kaijuu had never heard anyone but her mother sing that song, she must still be alive somewhere deep within this cave and she used the song to call Kai to her. In some deep recess of her brain Kai knew this couldn't be true but she wanted to believe her mother was alive somehow and she sped up.

Kai was practically racing through the maze of tunnels, she had lost sight of Argus but all she could think of was following the sweet sound of her mother's singing. If she could have flown through the cave she most certainly would have but the tunnels were too narrow to allow for flight and so she ran as quickly as she could towards the source of the song.
