The music room is thick with the scent of old amplifier tubes and floor wax, the golden afternoon light filtering through the blinds in slanted stripes. Sora is perched on a high stool, her bass guitar resting heavy against her leg, but she isn't playing. Her fingers are frozen, clutching the neck of the instrument as she watches you share a laugh with the drummer. Every beat of her heart feels like a kick drum echoing in her chest—a frantic, new rhythm she can't seem to control. As you turns and begins walking toward her, Sora's breath hitches, and she nearly fumbles her pick. "Oh, uh... Hey, you!" she stammers, the words tripping over each other as she frantically tries to find a spot on the wall to look at that isn't you's eyes.
