声音沙哑不再复以往的轻盈,可那熟悉的曲调依旧如昔,灵动而自由,一如曾经似羽毛混在白雪里飘落在欧文的肩膀上:
“……and if you e, when all the flowers are dying(若你归时,恰逢万花凋零)”
and i am dead, as dead i well may be(或我已逝,踏上命运归途)”
you"ll e and find the place where i am lying(我祈祷苍天,愿你能寻到我的长眠之地)”
and kneel and say an "ave" there for me(屈膝对我说声再见)”
but i shall hear, tho" soft you tread above me(我会听到,包括那轻柔的足音)”
and all my dreams will warm and sweeter be(肃穆的坟冢也会温馨)……”
“……”
最后一点数据被销毁,逼仄的办公室内安静下来,只剩下梅琳达愈来愈低的歌声。

接着,梅琳达按动了引爆炸弹的按钮。
