[enchangement]

the music is gone and with it
the small favors and familiars they brought
do you miss it?
do you miss them?
the colors were brighter
the sounds were louder
and some trick of the mind forgot
we were in a cage
or didn't and just
observed the decorations on the bars

[The question occurs to him far too late. She wouldn't. Would she? Tell him this pit isn't the place she decides to try being a normal teenager.]
