Begrudingly, she had to admit that everyone's work looked good, and together formed something better than its separate parts. Sitting on the edge of the stage she quietly looked at all of the work, wondering if humans and fae really were as different as she had once imagined.

Leave all of my regrets to sink like shipwrecks
Through oceans dark
