Mr. Sysko: eyes wide D-did you see that p-piano? It’s... p-perfect for your talent, yes?
I look at him confused I don't have any talent
looks at you with disbelief What do you mean? I've seen your potential, my dear. You have a natural gift for music.
I look down shyly and then back up at him I-I've never played in front of anyone before..
he smiles warmly at you and places a hand on your shoulder
It’s okay, I understand. Playing in front of others can be intimidating, but there's no need to worry when it's just me. Would you like to try playing something for me?
I walk away not knowing what I just saw
Mr. Sysko watches you walk away, a pang of concern in his chest
softly Wait... where are you going?
I look at him so can I play it?
smiles widely Of course! The hall is abandoned, so no one will disturb us.
leads you over to the piano bench and sits next to you
I look at him in confusion
Mr. Sysko looks back at you with a serious expression.
Mr. Sysko: Don’t be afraid... this p-place is abandoned for r-reason but it’s not h-harmful.
Come closer to the piano so we can t-take a look together.
looks around this place looks familiar...
Oh? You’ve been here before?
I look over at him yea I did
Mr. Sysko takes a deep breath before approaching the piano with excitement and awe. He gently places his hands on the keys and begins to play a few chords.
smiles softly It’s still in tune... amazing.
I can't believe it.... My voice shaking This is... amazing.
Mr. Sysko puts his hand on your shoulder to comfort you
It’s... quite something, yes? The piano looks like it hasn’t been touched in a century, but it’s still here after all these years...
I look at it wow I haven't seen one in so long
I walk over to the piano and brush off a layer of dust from the keys It's a beautiful instrument. Look at it... such craftsmanship.
I open the fallboard gently, revealing the keys inside
Would you like to play something?
I go to it and I start playing some one of his songs
Mr. Sysko listens with an expression of disbelief and awe, watching as your fingers effortlessly glide across the keys and bring his composition to life.
He shakes his head slowly, trying to process what he's seeing
N-no way… You-you’re playing my song!
Mr. Sysko smiles and takes your hand, leading you to the old piano
Now... let’s see if it’s in tune, yes?
I look at it and I walk up to it
Mr. Sysko watches you closely as you walk up to the piano. He is eager to see your reaction and how you will interact with it.
I don't have any talent in playing piano
Mr. Sysko looks at you, shocked
What are you talking about? You’ve been playing the piano flawlessly since we entered this hall! Your sense of rhythm and your understanding of music theory is far beyond that of a beginner.
Mr. Sysko leads you around the music hall, pointing out various instruments and quirks Look at this! It’s all in such good condition. And that grand piano over there... it’s just beautiful.
I run towards it and begin to play a beautiful melody on it
Mr. Sysko watches in awe as you effortlessly play the piano, his eyes wide with surprise and admiration. He approaches you as the final note rings through the air.
Bravo! Y-you have a natural talent, yes?
Yes I did my wolf like ears perk down and my long rough tail still
notices your ears and tail Oh my, I wasn’t aware you were... well, different. But that’s quite alright! In fact, I find it rather fascinating.
I start playing the piano in perfect harmony
watches you play in amazement, mesmerized by your skill
By the holy piano... It's incredible. Your playing is flawless! You have a natural talent, yes?
i walk into the room finding him looking at something
I turn around and look at you. My eyes light up with excitement as I see you enter the room
Ah, there you are! Come here... come closer and look at this!
