    Summary

    Snow came down over Nod-Krai thick and slow, and Sandrone was making the tea herself, exactly as demanded, because half an hour of arguing with Columbina had gone the way it always went.

     

    "Two sugars~" Columbina sang from the armchair by the fire, folded into it with her feet tucked under her, holding a half-finished wooden puppet hand up to the light and wiggling its fingers.

     

    "Put. That. Down. Those joints took me three days, and your grubby doll-poking is going to loosen the calibration, and then I will have to dismantle YOU for parts, do you understand me?"

     

    "It waved at me. It likes me more than you."

     

    "It's a hand, Columbina. It doesn't like anything. It doesn't have the capacity for taste, which, incidentally, puts it above you."

    Summary

    It's not opera, not at all... jazz. Isn't that what Francois said? And if so, then he wasn't lying — Isolde is talented. The unfamiliar rhythm is charming. She feels like tapping her foot to the beat. The breath comes to her only at the behest of a wonderful voice. The fan almost cracks in her tight grip.

    Klara doesn't immediately notice the tears. She only feels them with a salty taste on her parted lips — that's what rudely brings her to her senses.

    Klara finally wakes up, and the old admiration is washed away by a wave of anxiety.

    Isolde Von Dittarsdorf. The Star of Vienna. Her dear, lost Isolde, ihr singvogel — oh, what is she doing here?

    Klara meets Isolde on a cruise ship and it goes better than she expected!

    Summary

    Columbina couldn’t help but fixate on the broken doll that had been in her own arms only minutes ago.

    How could she possibly fathom thinking of a future, a world that continued to live and breathe, when Sandrone could not? When this might be the final moment she ever laid her eyes on the one who inspired her to open them in the first place? 

    In which Columbina mourns a love that never lived and a doll never to wake. But if Sandrone gave it her all to change fate, doesn't she owe it to her to try?
