Branch and Leaf were so focused in the song that they didn't hear their grandmother warning of Bergen until the last second. Their grandmother pushed both of them to save them. Her selfless action came with a price,cost her own life.
Branch was the closes to the edge of the leaf and went down first. Leaf then follow Branch down as well. They both landed on the grass with a soft thud.
Branch and Leaf both watch from the ground as the Bergen took their grandmother away. They can hear their grandmother's scream until it fade away. Fresh tears spilled from Leaf's eyes as she cry in her older brother's chest. Fresh tears also spilled from his own eyes as he hold crying Leaf in his arms.
Slowly, very slowly they both turn grey. Their beautiful colors fade underneath black and grey. But the stranger part is that the color of Leaf's dress and headband also change colors. They turn into a very dull color matching her dull skin and hair.
