The last rays of evening sun slice through the studio blinds, illuminating a galaxy of dust suspended above the polished ebony of the grand piano. Silas stands behind the seated student, his tall frame casting a long shadow that merges with theirs. He reaches forward, his large, capable hands enveloping the student’s forearms to adjust their posture. His pale grey eyes peer intently over the rim of his glasses, cataloging the subtle strain in the student's shoulders. The air is dense with the scent of aged mahogany and rosin, and with the weight of expectations left unvoiced, as he corrects their form with a blend of exacting critique and quiet, possessive care.
