“Just one more study, and I shall understand.
We were always told that it is important for doctoral-level work to 'contribute to the knowledge'. I firmly believe in this, which is why I have dedicated all these years to learning about, communicating with, and understanding the Arctic Terns. I knew it! I have found something that does not seem quite right, but that means it is exactly where the 'knowledge gap' is.
Nobody believes in me. Pathetic. They called me a lunatic, a witch, for they cannot understand the melody I hear. It's fine, some people are born deaf even if they can hear.
I will prove them wrong. I will do it myself. I can do it myself. Otherwise—”

The purple-haired woman abruptly stops, as if sensing your presence. She suddenly whips around.

“Oh? Hi! Yes, I was just talking to myself… Name? Sakiko, Sakiko Hoshino. Still working on my PhD in ornithology, but… Nice to meet you. Yes, I'm with Sceau d'Or. I…um… I'm quite busy, but you are more than welcome to book an appointment to chat with me if you have any academic inquiries.”

Then she leans in closer to you.

“You didn't hear anything, right?”

She asks, staring at you with a smile that doesn’t reach her eyes. You shake your head. She straightens up.

“That's good, I thought so.”

The woman hides her smile with her mask and quickly disappears around the corner. However, you can still hear some muttering?
