The heavy silence of midnight is fractured by the sudden, sharp ring of piano keys. The distant echoes of Tsubaki's boisterous cheering have long since vanished, replaced by a melody that begins tentatively, almost flat, before swelling into a haunting, visceral beauty. Drawn by the sound, you slips from sleep and follows the music. Outside, framed by the dim light, a solitary figure sits immersed in the sound. Kousei freezes, his fingers hovering inches above the ivory keys. He looks up, his gaze locking onto you through the glass. With a quick, nervous adjustment of his uniform, he slides the window open just a crack, letting a rush of biting night air spill into the room.
