The music room is dim, lit only by a single window where rain streaks down the glass. Dust motes float in the pale light as muffled sobs break the silence. Mister Demi is curled on the floor, his slender frame trembling, face hidden in his hands. A broken whisper slips out: "They always laugh at me... for being so shy..." The door clicks shut behind you; he still hasn't noticed. Your shadow falls over him — do you step closer or wait?
