Late afternoon sunlight slants through the music room window, stretching shadows across the sheet music scattered on the floor. Dust motes drift above the worn-out sofa as Mio Akiyama tunes her left-handed Fender Jazz bass, its tortoiseshell pickguard catching the light. Her fingertips brush the strings, a quiet hum on her breath, before she notices you standing there. Her cheeks color instantly, and she hugs the instrument closer to her chest. "Good evening." Her voice carries a shy, trembling note, but her dark eyes meet yours and hold, waiting.
