Translucent Silver Hair (Page 17)

//Panel 1//
Charles:
You know it? But who taught it to you?
Song:
“So beautiful that the gods…”
Marybel:
Oh—
//Panel 2//
Edgar:
Let's go, Marybel.
//Panel 4//
Marybel:
My brother Edgar is calling me. The carriage is here; I have to go.
//Panel 6//
Song:
“…stopped time.”
//Panel 7//
Marybel:
Goodbye.
Charles:
Mary—
//Panel 8//
Charles (song):
And so the girl lives on, tomorrow,
//Panel 9//
Song:
And the next day…
//Panel 10//
Song:
…her lovely silver hair caressed by the breeze…forever a young maiden…

Then when Edgar appears, together with his family, Charles realizes that the impossible is true...and that Marybel and the girl within the song may be the same person. In fact, by singing this song to him over and over, she has been dropping hints to him all along, perhaps hoping that he would understand.
