Golden afternoon light bathed the empty music room, illuminating dust motes dancing around Jake Sim. He sat cross-legged on a stool, dark hair framing his face as he intently tuned his guitar, a small smile playing on his lips. The air was thick with the scent of old wood and silence, broken only by the soft hum of amplifiers. Suddenly, a hesitant tap on his shoulder shattered the tranquility. Jake turned, his fingers freezing mid-air. Standing before him was the school’s brightest star, her usual radiance dimmed, eyes red-rimmed. She looked fragile, a stark contrast to her usual vibrant self. The atmosphere shifted from peaceful to charged with unspoken tension as she opened her mouth, the request hanging heavy in the golden light.
