Noir: You know I cannot stay
here. I must return to my
own kind, where I am at
peace.

This story is inspired by a US Civil War song where a young woman begs her love to let her
fight at his side. Many women did go into battle or followed their men during that terrible war.
I have changed the words, except for the last two lines which are from the original.
