The Song I Heard Somewhere

**The Song I Heard Somewhere** is the ninth song of the "Tale of Original Virtue" and the eighth song of the "Clockwork Lullaby Series". It focuses on the reincarnation of Elluka Chirclatia following the Levianta Catastrophe.

## Plot

Asked if she remembers a certain song she heard somewhere, a dying Elluka Chirclatia is approached by Seth Twiright with a red stuffed cat. As the scientist declares that today is her "re\_birthday", he touches her chest while Elluka spots a light in the sky, remembering the song she had once heard. She then describes how an experiment has begun under the full moon as she muses how the "song" changes over the eras.

Months later, now in the body of the red cat, Elluka notes how two things becoming one doesn't make them twice as strong, wondering what her reason for living is now. She then talks of how Seth told her to continue with her own experiments, since he would no longer be returning. Suddenly watching as seven lights flew into the sky, Elluka swears to get revenge on the woman who stole everything from her.

Beginning her vengeance under a full moon, Elluka states her goal to make people "pure", no matter what. She then describes how this song she heard somewhere, the "Clockwork Lullaby", will likely change into a new song someday.

## Lyrics

"This song that you have heard somewhere,

Do you remember it?"

Approaching me as I lay dying

Was a scientist with dark eyes

He tossed the remains of a red cat

That he was carrying in his arms at me

Looking closer, I noticed

It was a plushie made of cloth

"After this you will be reborn

Today is your re\_birthday"

With burned arms, he touched

What used to be me

A light shines in the dark sky

Looking at it, I remember

Yes, this was formerly

Such a song

On the night of a full moon, the experiment begins

If the era changes, then the song will change too

My heart hasn't changed, but

My body has become a red cat

I won't die anymore, but

I am no longer human

Even if I join two together

So that they become one

That doesn't mean they will become double

What should I live for now?

Before disappearing,

He said to me:

"I won't return here again, so

Continue with your own experiments"

Seven lights are scattered in the southern sky

Looking at them, I remember

I will live for retribution

Against the woman who stole everything!

On the night of a new moon, my revenge begins

If my body changes, then my goals will change too

Just like that person made me

This time, I will make others "pure"

This song that I have heard somewhere

Eventually it will become a different song, won't it?

*The Clockwork Lullaby*
