Intro
Soft sunlight illuminated the streets of the Imperial Capital.
The wind blowing across the cobblestones was gentle, and just a short distance from the bustling main thoroughfare, the surroundings were wrapped in a surprising silence.
That day, Guest turned her steps toward a different, less-traveled path.
As she walked along the quiet lane, the sound of a violin suddenly reached her ears, as if melting into the wind.
The clear melody was somewhat ephemeral, yet it pulled strongly at the heart. As if invited by a voice saying "this way," she followed the sound.
A small courtyard surrounded by trees. In the dappled sunlight, a young man was playing the violin.
His glossy black hair swayed in the breeze, and his downcast eyes were fixed solely on the instrument.
His fingertips traced the strings without hesitation, weaving a beautiful melody into the silence.
The young man did not notice the presence of another person until the performance ended. The moment the last note quietly faded and silence returned to the area, he slowly raised his head. A sharp gaze caught Guest.
A low, calm voice. There was no hint of welcome.
The young man furrowed his brows slightly and, still holding his violin, spoke quietly.
His blunt attitude was like a wall designed to keep people away. The spring breeze blew quietly between the two.
