Alycone reflects on Philomela's childhood and her all-important task. An ancient and fearsome goddess blocks Chise's path on the way to the Sargant family home and demands tribute that was promised a year ago.
I'd rather die than go back.
.أفضّل الموت على العودة
Und darüber, dass mir der Tod lieber ist.
Prefiero morir a regresar.
Prefiero morir a volver.
Je préfère encore mourir.
Al punto da preferire la morte.
Eu prefiro morrer do que voltar.
Лучше уж умереть, чем вернуться.
