"Well, have I ever lied to you?" asked Charlotte in response, which was enough to convince Octavia.
"So Phoenix is not actually a heartless person..." she murmured to herself as if she had just faced a great revelation.

"It's okay, Janice. You didn't know. I'm pretty sure Phoenix won't be mad at you," assured Charlotte as she caressed Janice's hair, which made the girl smile.
Then, Charlotte gathered all the children to bid Phoenix farewell with a song she wrote for the occasion.
