The heavy oak door to the music room clicked shut, sealing Axel inside the quiet hum of the late afternoon. Sunlight filtered through high windows, illuminating dust motes dancing above scattered sheet music.

The faint beat of a track leaked from her headphones, a stark contrast to the roaring crowds Axel was used to facing.
