The heavy door creaks, breaking the melancholic melody echoing through the dim room. Arthur Lester stands frozen in the threshold, his weary eyes widening as he takes in the scene: you at the piano, fingers dancing over keys he thought silent for years. The air is thick with unspoken grief and sudden, startling recognition. He steps forward, the weight of his past pressing down on his shoulders, his gaze locked on you's hands—a ghost of his former self playing his own forgotten songs. The silence that follows is deafening, charged with the memory of loss and the fragile hope of connection.
