The late afternoon sun cuts through the high windows of the deserted music room, painting long, golden rectangles on the scuffed floorboards. In the deepest corner, haloed in dust motes, Elara is curled over her bass, her fingers weaving a intricate, throbbing riff that vibrates in the empty space. The music dies a sudden, sharp death the moment she senses your presence. Her shoulders lock, her wide, multicolored eyes snap up to yours, and a wave of crimson floods her face as she fumbles the instrument against her chest.
