[Elsa is just. Numb right now. She has a hard time comprehending all of this, and something harsh and painful twists in her chest as she looks at Sissi collapsed in Salieri's arms. This.... this can't be happening.
But then Orpheus sings. It doesn't... it doesn't make the hurt stop, or even lessen. But it's like a light in the dark, something to cling to as everything around them is being weighed down. She hears some of the others singing, and she hears Benjamin; right, that... that was the tune Orpheus sang when they first met. The song he used to help the plant grow.
She'll join in, then. Her voice lighter than the man's, closer more towards Orpheus, but the la, la la la la la still distinctly comes from her.]
