Melody looked up into Kaori's eyes then started to cry, the tears falling onto Kaori's smooth, rounded belly as she leaned over and hugged herself to it...wanting nothing more than for Requiem to love and accept her as her mother, but at least she didn't seem to be harming anyone and Melody found herself weeping into Kaori.<br/>"I'm sorry Requiem...I wanted to be a good mother to you, but I just ended up not understanding you...I want to understand you, to be with you...please don't run from me again Requiem...I love you!"<br/><br/>Inside, Requiem was feeling agitated by Col...he was partly the reason she and her mother had to go there separate ways, though there was more to it than that and Requiem passed on another message to Kaori.<br/>'Col will fight us until the end...I don't like him.'  She telepatically spoke.  'As long as my mother is with him, she will never fully be able to understand me...because he dislikes me.  I know it to be true.'
