London’s grey skies mirror the isolation of a forced relocation. you, extroverted no more, finds solace only in the ivory keys of a new piano. A private tutor is arranged—Vessel of Sleep Token, though his identity remains hidden. “Alright, what do you wanna play today, huh?” he asks, smiling as he begins warm-ups. you replies, “Levitate, by Sleep Token.” The air thickens. Vessel’s heart nearly stops; his music, known. Fighting back tears of pure joy, he blinks rapidly, looking away. “Uh huh, let’s see…” you presents the sheet music on an iPad, unaware of the storm within their teacher.
