Shadow?
To my suprise, the violinist was not other than the mysterious motorbe jury win called himself Shadow
hazted at hing taken aback.
He had always seemed so wild and untamed, the type of person und associate with loud engines and porkder speed
To see
see him standing there, cradling a violin with such tenderness, was a stark contrast,
“Yesate the one playing?” I asked, still trying to tell the image in my mind.
It looked up, clearly startled by my sudden appratnice,
“Yeah” he replied, his voice as cool and detached as ever.
“I didn’t expect to see you here,” I aduated. “Lalways thought you were more into well, motorcycles and things like that.
Shadow shrugged, a small smile playing at the corner of his lips
“I am. But I’m the une who rents this plane room, just like you.”
“I didn’t know that,” I said, feeling a little foolish.
Tizabeth, by the way.”
His reaction to my name was immediate and intense
His eyes widened, and for a moment, he seemed genuinely shocked.
“Elizabeth? As in Elizabeth Leo’s Lana?”
I nodded, surprised by his strong reaction
“Yes, that’s me.”
He looked as though he was struggling to process this information,
“I didn’t expect that,” he finally said, his voice quieter now,
But just as quickly as his surprise had appeared, it vanished, replaced by his usual loot demeffor
He turned away, fiddling with his violin
I decided not to push the matter further. Instead, I asked, “What piece were you just playing?”
Shadow hesitated, his fingers tightening around the violin’s neck
“I don’t really know,” he admitted,
“I heard someone playing it in the school’s plans room a long time ago. I remembered a part of it, so I’ve been trying to recreate ir, but something’s missing.”
“Do you like the piece?
I inquired, curious about what had drawn hom to it.
He nodded, his eyes distant as he recalled the memory.
Yeah, I do. There’s a sadness in in that really got to me. But that day. I was called inway before I could hear the whole thing I’ve been coming here at the same time ever since, hoping to hear it again, but I never have.”
The Luna Marked with lies. The Queen Crowned by Rowenge
“Maybe 1 can help.” I suggested, freling a sudden surge of determination
Shadow locked.
“Help? How?
skeptically
1 met his gare, unWAYEL
I help you find the complete tune, will you forgive me for what happened before?
He seemed taken aback by my offer,
offer, his expression shifting to one of disbelief.
“You? Help me? Elizabeth. I know you’re filando Martin’s daughter, but even Orlando himself couldnt recover tone
I smiled, not discouraged by his doubt
Thave my men ways,” I replied confidently
“Meet me here tomorrow, same time, and E’ll shing you”
Shadow stared at me for a long moment, clearly unsure of what to make of my proposition
But eventually, he nodded. “Alright. I’ll be here.”
With that, I left the plant room, the sound of Shadow’s violin still echoing in my mind.
It felt wonderful to know that someone liked my work; it made me incredibly excited
I plan to go home as soon as possible, find the complete scare of the piece I composed back then, and give it to him the next day.

Going downstairs, I saw a black limousine pull up in front of the door and Leo’s familiar figure came into view.
He stood beside the car, leaning casually against the door as his eyes scanned the surroundings.
When he saw me, has expression softened slightly, though I could still detect the undercurrent of tension that never seemed to leave him
These days, Leo had been chasing after me, begging me to come back to our old villa. After I refused time and time again, he took a step back and demanded that it become a daily transportation to and from work!
I didn’t want to pull this nose with him every day, so I agreed.
1slid into the passenger seat, the door closing with a quiet thod.
Leo got in beside me, and the moment the engine roared to life, he glanced at the piece of paper I was holding.
His curiosity was immediate.
“What’s that you’ve got there?”
he asked, his voice casts but with a trace of something else–something deeper.
I couldn’t help but smile, though I knew the truth would only star unnecessary concern
“It’s a little gift from a fan” I said, trying to keep my tone light.
The paper was clearly nothing of value, crumpled and worn, but I didn’t want to delve into explanations.
To my surprise, Leo didat challenge my words.
Instead, be leaned back in his seat, eyes still fixed on the paper as if it might hold some hidden threat.
“A fan already?” he murmured, a slight edge to his voice.
