If such were the feelings of the prisoner, then the second part of the message will give
               him the key to find the way out.

                      You must have present that I said the key and not the secret exit. Because it happens
               that with the key the prisoner must search for the secret way out, work that would not be so
               difficult considering the reduced dimensions of the cell. But, after he find it, he must complete
               his  feat  descending  through  incredible  depths,  across  the  corridors  mired  in  impenetrable
               shades  and  going  up,  finally,  to  remote  pinnacles:  such  complicated  is  the  travel  of  the
               enigmatic secret exit. However he is saved, in the same moment that he begin the return,
               and nothing and nobody will stop him.

                      Now it is only missing, to complete the epilogue of the allegory, to say one word about
               the second part of the acoustic message, the part that had the key of the secret. It was also a
               song, a curious song that narrated the story of a sublime and forbidden love between a Knight
               and a Lady already engaged. Consumed by a passion without hope the Knight had started a
               long and dangerous journey across distant and unknown countries, in which, he was becoming
               skilled in the Art of the War. At the beginning he tried to forget his beloved, but after many
               years, and having proved that the memory was always alive in his heart, he understood that he
               would live eternally slave of the impossible love. So, he made a promise to himself: wouldn't
               matter  the  adventures  that  he  would  have  to  pass  in  his  long  journey,  neither  the  joys  or
               misfortunes that they would implicate; internally he would stay loyal to his beloved with no
               hopes  with  a  religious  devotion,  and  no  circumstance  would  take  him  apart  of  his  strong
               devotion.

                      In this manner the song ended: remembering that in some part of the Earth, converted
               in a monk warrior, the Courageous Knight marches, provided with powerful sword and proud
               courser, but keeping hanged on his neck a bag that contains the proof of his disgrace, the key

               of his secret of love: the Wedding Ring that will never be used by his Lady.

                      Adversely to the infantile song of the first part of the message, this doesn't produced an
               immediate nostalgia, only a feeling of modest curiosity in the prisoner. When hearing, coming
               who knows from where, in his natal ancient language, the story of the gallant Knight, so strong
               and brave, so full in battle, and however so sweet and melancholic, so internally broken due to
               the memory of L-ove, the captive felt dam of that modest curiosity that the children experience
               when they presage the  promises  of sex or intuit the mysteries of love. We  can imagine the
               prisoner brooding, befuddled due to the enigma of the evocative song! And we can suppose,
               also, that he will finally find a key on that Wedding Ring... which according to the song would
               be never used in any wedding. Inductively, the idea of the ring will make him search and find
               the secret exit.
