Seems like arguments and disagreements are all a moot point now, CY-Ren's song drawing Childermass's attention and forcing him to fixate on her same as it does everyone else. Some small part of him takes offense at it, being told he has to love someone — anyone at all — in particular.

That small part doesn't mean anything, though. It's drowned out, by both music and the sudden rush of need. To do as she says, to make her happy, that's suddenly all that matters. He watches in silence, gaze unerringly following CY-Ren's every move, expression slack with awe.
