One of these mornings
You're going to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky
But till that morning
There's a'nothing can harm you
With daddy and mamma standing by.
-- "Summertime" by George Gershwin


Whatever Rakka had been planning was forgotten; she spent the day answering the Little Feathers' questions. "Reki told you the same thing after Kuu had her Day of Flight," she said, after the fifth run-though.

"Tell it again!" they reply, and Rakka wonders if it's reassurance, not answers, that they seek. Everything is normal; the older Haibane know what's going on.

That night, she mentions it to Nemu as they watch over the cocoons. "Maybe you could help me make a book for them," she said, "to remind them these things happen."

Nemu nods. "That's a good idea."
