The chapter is a transcript of a conversation between Gaspery Roberts (GR) who is an assistant to a music historian, and Alan Sami (AS) who is a violinist.
Alan Sami plays for pleasure in the airship terminal even though he doesn't need the money.
Roberts has been tasked with investigating the music played at airship terminals in various regions on Earth.
Roberts has Alan listen to a music clip and confirm if it's him playing. Alan confirms, identifying the music as a lullaby he composed for his late wife. The lullaby was never formally recorded or scored.
Roberts revealed that he studied linguistics and psychology in addition to history, but denies the relevance of psychology studies in his work, contrary to Alan's suspicion.
Alan recognizes and teases Roberts when his accent reveals he's originally from Colony Two.
