Kirika walked into Mireille's apartment kitchen, where Mireille was already making breakfast. "Good morning," Kirika said sleepily.

A counter-top radio began to play a familiar melancholy song. "Oh!" Kirika said. "I know that song! Its melody is just like your music-box watch. And the song has been playing non-stop for days. Have you heard it, Mireille?... Um, Mireille?"

A suddenly overwhelmed Mireille had fallen into a fetal position on the kitchen floor. She was hugging herself tightly and softly weeping.

"...oh," Kirika said. "Perhaps we should turn off the radio until the song is rotated out."

"Yes, please," Mireille sobbed.
