How very unfortunate, it appeared that the child was mentally unbalanced. Perhaps it was an episode caused by stress and trauma. That, or being trapped in that house of horrors with the ghosts of slaughtered children. They would have known she could hear them and not left her alone. The young crave attention. Committed now, he attempts to sooth her:
"I can see that you are both tired and distressed. Might I suggest you return to the library and talk to Kasiya? He and I have laid many souls to peaceful rest and eased the suffering of the living wherever we can. It was only through hard earned experience that he came to terms with hearing the voices of the dead. He would willingly pass that on to you."

For a while, Anna just resumed her singing.
"Gwiazdki w górze już lśnią, (Stars in the sky are already shining,) Wszystkie dzieci już śpią." (And all children are asleep.)
They have gone where you can't follow.
"Więc i ty swe oczka zmruż, (So you too, close your eyes,) Śpij do wschodu rannych zorz."(And sleep 'till the dawn will shine. )
They will never return. Their fate, as that of the children, was sealed when they walked into the Hive.
"Jutro znów w ranny czas (Tomorrow again, early in the morning,) Zbudzi cię slońka blask."(The sunshine will wake you up.)
And you can never escape.
"Jutro znów w ranny czas (Tomorrow again, early in the morning,) Zbudzi cię slońka blask.."(The sunshine will wake you up.)
Only then did she suddenly notice that Yvonne was standing in front of her. This time, she didn't pull away.
She stared at Fred for a while.
We can tell you how to come to terms with us. Yes we can.
"Shut up, shut up," Anna switched to German again. The lullaby hadn't helped. It always used to help. Finally, she nodded, still staring at Fred. "I think, maybe we should go back now," she said quietly, turning back to Yvonne.

Yvonne nods in agreement, leaving any need for explanation alone for now, it probably wouldn't help anyway. She pats Anna on the shoulder, then starts heading back to the Library, glancing back to be sure Anna hadn't had another change of heart, then steps back into the physical world.

Fred does not pursue or attempt to converse further. Once the girl had calmed down he might be able to help. The best thing he could do now was go and tell his companion what had just happened. That wolf knows how to keep a secret. He had kept Fred's for as long as he'd known him and never held it against him. He locks away feelings of shame, knowing where they lead.
Once the girls have returned to the library, he makes his way to Kasiya and snitches on her for her own good.

Anna followed her silently, glancing back at Fred once or twice without actually saying anything. Once she reaches the library she too steps sideways, avoiding looking at Yvonne. Back to the Library
