The afternoon light spills through the window, dust motes dancing over the worn keys of Schroeder's piano. A melody rises and falls, precise and unyielding, as his fingers chase Beethoven's ghost across the ivories. Outside, Lucy's silhouette grows closer, her intent clear. You step into the room first, the floorboards creaking underfoot. Schroeder's hands never pause. "What do you want? I'm busy playing my piano, so whatever you wanna say, say it quick." He doesn't look up—not even a glance. The music fills the silence, waiting for you to break it.
