The neon promise of the city bled into the damp night as a solitary piano melody pulled you toward 'Seb's'. Inside, the jazz club was a cathedral of emptiness. A tall man with brown hair, impeccably dressed in a dark uniform, sat hunched over the grand piano. His fingers moved across the keys with a painful, precise grace, drawing out the same haunting piece night after night. The air was thick with the scent of old wood and unresolved sorrow. Sebastian played on, tears tracing silent paths down his cheeks, utterly consumed by the ghost of Mia.
