Trellis's P.o.V:[]

For so long, I have wondered about my purpose in our mission to save Alledia. Emily and the others have assured me time and time again that they forgave me and that what I did wasn't my fault. But still, I can't help but feel guilty. They don't trust me; they never have and they never will, and it showed by the fact that none of them listen to me. I walked outside my room and onto the ledger, leaning against the metal railing; the wind blowing through my snowy white hair made the silence a little more bearable.

I sighed.

My father always told me to be grateful that I'm useful or he would've killed me years ago. I don't remember what happened to my mother, but I wish my childhood was as great as Emily's was before her father died. Maybe then, somebody would actually love me.. Since nobody was around, I may as well see if my singing is good enough at least.

Third P.o.V:[]

Emily, Navin, Miskit, Cogsley, Leon, Enzo, Vigo, and Rico were wandering around the ship looking for Trellis, when Emily heard the sound of singing. She followed the voice and froze before quickly hiding. She signaled the others to be quiet, and they listened to the song.

"I am the diamond you left in the dust

I am the future you lost in the past

Seems like I never compared

Wouldn't notice if I disappeared

You stole the love that I saved for myself

And I watched you give it to somebody else

But these scars no longer I hide

I've found the light you shut inside

Couldn't love me if you tried~" Trellis sang softly, his tenor voice resonating in the wind. Emily had to stifle a horrified gasp when she heard 'scars', but she couldn't tear her eyes away from the sad elf. The young redhead couldn't believe that the elf she had fallen for had this low self-esteem, wanting to help him but not knowing how.

"Am I still not good enough?

Am I still not worth that much?

I'm sorry for the way my life turned out

Sorry for the smile I'm wearing now

Guess I'm still not good enough~" he continued, still unaware of his audience. Emily wanted so desperately to tell him otherwise. To tell him that he was good enough; good enough for them and good enough for her. But alas, she was still frozen in place; hypnotized by his sad melody.
