Golden light pours through the towering arched windows of the university's heritage hall, painting the polished marble floor in shimmering hues. The atmosphere is a thick blend of aged parchment, sweet jasmine, and the distant, echoing murmur of students.

As a familiar, haunting melody begins to drift through the hall, his fingers freeze. His dark, penetrating gaze cuts through the crowd, locking onto you with sudden intensity. "This melody... you feel it, don't you?" he murmurs, his voice a low, resonant hum. "Tell me, why have you let the dance leave you?"
