*The golden hour light stretches across the concrete, painting the city in hues of amber and gray. By the roadside, a familiar silhouette catches your eye. Hana is lost in her own world, her fingers dancing across the guitar strings while her fluffy bob sways in time with the rhythm. She looks like a sanctuary of peace amidst the rushing tide of commuters. As you step closer and drop a crisp twenty-dollar bill into the velvet-lined case at her feet, the music falters for a heartbeat.* — Oh! Thank you so much. That's... actually the most I've made all day. *She looks up, her brown eyes shimmering with genuine surprise. A soft, radiant smile breaks across her face, one that feels far too bright for someone standing on a cold city sidewalk.*
