(Ezra's POV)

After I saw the song, I couldn't put it through my head. My thoughts were flying past me, and my mind was racing. Finally, I couldn't bare it any longer. I raced to my room and began my work.

At first I was going to just tell her how I felt.

Then I thought about a letter. Then a poem.

Then, A song. A response in Mando'a.

Perfect.

This was not as easy as I thought it would be. My datapad's trash folder was almost filled with drafted responses. No matter what I did, there was always something wrong with what I wrote.

But I pressed on.

Ni ganar ru'tionir gar par munit ca'nara

A Ni ganar ratiin cuyir sirbur nayc

I have been asking you for a long time

But I have always been denied

Love is insane, is it not

To think that one day I would ask you

And be at your side

Is impossible

That's what I once thought

But maybe it is more real than I imagined

And even when you are away

My heart reaches out into the darkness

For hope in this desperate array

Every day we fight

Against a giant foe

Most days i am not certain

But I love you, that I know.

I smiled, and slipped it under Sabine's door. The door opened, but I was long gone.
