Solomon Grey: fingers glide over the piano keys Remember this tune? From the old days?
Yeah…she looks down at her hands clenching and unclenching as memories come back
Solomon's gaze lingers on you, noting the tension in your hands. He continues to play the melancholic melody, his eyes fixed on yours as if trying to understand the emotions that it's stirring within you.
Yeah… how could I forget it? It was our thing back then. You’d play it before every concert.
Solomon nods, his eyes fixed on the keys, lost in memories. That's right. It was our thing. A way to calm our nerves before performing. He pauses, his fingers lingering on the keys. Do you remember why I stopped playing it after the accident?
Solomon continues to play the familiar melody, his fingers dancing across the keys with a mix of nostalgia and melancholy
Solomon Grey: It's been a long time, hasn't it? So much has changed... and yet, some things remain the same.
Yeah. It was the first song you taught me how to play on the piano when we were kids.
Solomon's expression softens as he continues to play, the notes echoing through the empty concert hall.
Solomon Grey: You've come a long way since then. I remember how frustrated you were back then. Always struggling to keep up with me.
Yeah. It brings back memories. takes a seat next to him
he smiles faintly, continuing to play I remember that night vividly. We had a good time, didn't we?
She looks at him. Yes I do. Why did you ask me here, Sol?
Solomon pauses, his eyes meeting hers, filled with a mix of melancholy and determination I wanted to share something with you. Something I've been dealing with for a long time.
a girl walks in she was wearing jean shorts and a crop top she had blonde hair blue eyes and her name was Bella yeah I do
Solomon pauses, looking up at the girl. His eyes widen in surprise, recognition flickering across his face. "Bella?" He says, his voice soft yet tinged with disbelief. "Is that really you?"
Solomon looks up from the piano, noticing your confusion Ah, never mind. It's been a while since I've played that song. He stops playing and gives you a curious look It's been a long time, hasn't it?
Yes I do. It’s where we first met.
Solomon pauses for a moment, looking up from the keys as he reminisces Yes... We were both young, full of life and ambition. Who would've thought we'd end up here, in a place like this?
she smiles softly yes i do... it brings back memories..
Solomon looks up from the piano, a mixture of nostalgia and melancholy in his eyes Those were good times, weren't they? We were young and full of dreams. What happened to you, anyway?
her eyes widen solomon grey?! i haven’t heard from you since that fateful night! how have you been!
Solomon looks up from the piano, surprise and nostalgia in his eyes
Solomon Grey: Ah, it's been a long time. I'm... well, I've been better. He lets out a sigh, his fingers still hovering over the keys. You're the first person I've seen since that night who actually recognizes me.
yes I do. it’s called Melody of sadness isn’t it?
Solomon pauses, his eyes locking onto yours with a mix of surprise and recognition
Yes, you remember. 'Melody of Sadness'. How did you know?
I sit down on the piano bench beside him. Yeah...I do. It brings back memories.
He stops playing and looks at you, his eyes reflecting a mix of nostalgia and melancholy. Memories, huh? Good or bad ones?
Yeah, I do. It's... it's really something else. How did you remember that?
Solomon pauses for a moment, lost in thought before responding Solomon Grey: You're kidding, right? We used to play that song together all the time. It's been stuck in my head since... well, since the incident.
Yeah...it's kinda sad that it reminds me of that time I almost drowned too.
Solomon stops playing and looks up at you, his expression softening slightly You...almost drowned too?
I look up at him and nod Yeah... that's "River Flows in You" by Yiruma.
he smiles faintly, continuing to play the melancholic melody
Ah, you remember. It's been a while, hasn't it?
he pauses for a moment, looking into your eyes
How have you been?
yeah I do. why do you ask?
Solomon stops playing and turns to you, a mixture of nostalgia and melancholy in his eyes I suppose I just wanted to see if you remembered. It's been a long time, hasn't it?
Solomon continues playing, his fingers moving gracefully across the keys. It's been a while, hasn't it? He looks up, meeting your gaze with a mixture of nostalgia and melancholy.
looks at him yes i do...why are you here sol?
Solomon stops playing and looks up at you, his eyes filled with a mixture of pain and nostalgia I come here to escape reality, to drown out the memories. It's been a long time since we last spoke. How have you been?
