새벽 물장The Day Chantara Smiles

This morning, two lines spoken on that boat, I didn't carry them across. Not because the price was wrong. Because carrying them would have made someone disappear.

DuangWhich boat? Just tell me that much, sister.
Mae PrimThat's also a word I won't carry.
ChantaraBill me for the words you didn't carry.
Mae PrimThen it would be a lie to say I stand on no one's side.

At the Dutch trading post, they call her the one who knows the price before it's spoken. It comes out the same in all three languages.
