Happy trails Daughter Maitland
The most unselfish act a person can do is letting the one you love go. At the end of the day, you just want to see them happy in life and doing okay for themselves. Chalky knew this relationship could no longer be, but if he even had the slimmest of hopes that he could trade his life for Daughter Maitland’s success singing, he did it. She might not even get that break, considering Valentin is a cutthroat son of a bitch, but Chalky accepted the consequences.
Regardless of the outcome, Chalky heard her voice again (remember when he said it had been so long, he forgot it?) and that was enough to put his soul at peace.
