Enlil emerges from backstage, with a demeanor entirely different than that of her predecessor. She walked with a solemn sort of calmness, greeting the crowd with a warm smile. Her wings are loosely folded, open enough to show their plumage. There is none of the flirting or playfulness that Karis; it does not occur to her to even try it, let alone apppeal to her.
As she reaches the end of the Platform, Enlil stops. She gazes over the crowd, then draws her hands to her heart. Folding them, she takes a single deep breath, and takes Estyn's advice to heart.
Show them the inner you...
And she begins to sing, speaking in the language that Bob and Sara had spoke most of their lives.
="I've been wa~tching you awhile..
Since you wa~lked into my life.
Monday mo~rning, when first.. I heard you speak to me
I was too shy... to let you know
Much too scared... to let my feelings show
But you shielded me
And that... was the beginning"=
Her voice carrys calmly over the crowd, conveying a slight melancholy. As she sings, a slight breeze begins to blow, tossing her ponytail about a little. The shadows seem to draw away from the angel, as though she were raiding light.
Enlil's own shadow moves away from her, breaking from her as though it possessed a will of its own. It flows across the stage, and projects itself across the curtain. Other shadows gather near Enlil's silhuoette, coming from nearby people and objects. They merge, and change, forming into another angel, this one with long hair, a masculine build, and what appears to be the outline of a cuirass on his chest.
Enlil's shadow and the other angel's just watch each other from the distance. Then, Enlil's shadow walks away, her head hanging low and
="Now at last... we can talk
In ano~ther wa~y
And though I try...
I love you... Is just so ha~rd to say
If I on~ly could be strong
And say... the words... I feel"=
The male angel's shadow vanishes. It appears before Enlil's, and they seem to watch each other, as though expecting one another to act.
="My bleeding heart... begins to race
When I turn to see your face
I remem~ber that sweet dream
Which you told to me.
I wa~nted just to be with you
So we could ma~ke the dream come true
And you smiled at me... and that... was the begin~ning"=
The male angel's shadow vanishes again, as Enlil's shadow begins to walk onwards, alone again. He appears behind her, and Enlil's shadow turns in response. From the way her shadows starts, it seems surprised. Then she moves toward the other angel.
="Now at last... we can talk
In ano~ther wa~y
And though I try...
I love you... Is just so ha~rd to say
If I on~ly could be strong
And say... the words... I feel"=
The Shadows come together, merging as they embrace warmly. It is a solemn moment, they simply seem to enjoy each other's presence.
="Tell me what you're thin~king of
Tell me if you love me no~t
I have so mu~ch I long to a~sk you
But now the chance has go~ne
When your picture fades each da~y
In my heart the memory sta~ys
Though we rant, you're always smil~ing
And I will hold it lo~ng"=
The two part, holding each other's hands. Gazing longingly in each other's eyes, they seem to share a quiet moment. Then, the male angel's shadow fades away. Enlil's shadow sighs, and looks downward forlornly. Then, as the final notes of the song echo, she resumes walking onward; alone once more. Then, she too fades away...

Get it, for it is suggested listening as the singer sounds much like how I imagine Enlil sounds.)
