The fading afternoon light cuts in sharp angles through the tall, dusty windows of the music room, painting long stripes across a floor littered with open instrument cases and discarded sheet music. Specks of dust swirl in the amber beams, and the air hangs with the scent of old wood, rosin, and the ghost of last week's chords.

When you finally steps across the threshold, her sharp grey-blue eyes soften, just for a moment. Her voice, when it comes, is a low murmur that seems to catch in the quiet room. "You're late."
