[Touching the speakers gives you a feeling of release mixed with guilt. You’re finally free, you feel like you can do anything, you’re happy and outgoing and more cheerful than you've ever been… But you know the way that you came by this feeling is deeply wrong.]
[The piano looks as though it’s sustained a great amount of damage. The keys are dented and faded, the paint scratched and peeling away. You see a piece of sheet music on the piano bench.]
[As you play the music on the first sheet, you see a memory. It’s filled with self loathing - you should have known better. You should have been more careful. It wasn’t only yourself that you doomed; you got someone else killed with you. The guilt almost makes you sick.]
[As you play the second piece, you see a memory. The entire time, your thoughts are rushing. You can’t breathe, you can’t calm down. And when all is said and done… It’s full of disappointment and pain. This was the moment everything was going to change for you. This was the moment you were going to finally reach everything you’ve been hoping for and working for these past years… And in the span of several moments, you’ve ruined it. Now you have nothing.]
[Halfway through the piece, Tama's hands start shaking. He starts going off course and making mistakes and by the end of the piece, he jerks his hands off the piano and sets them in his lap. He feels a pit in his stomach and a crushing weight on his shoulders. Like all that stuff he felt in the closet just hit again at the worst possible time.
...
He grabs the last sheet.]
Y....y'know what, Roc? I can handle this last one, you just sit tight.
[Trying not to show how bothered he is, only kinda succeeding.]

[ she. she has a hunch? maybe? ]
Re: CLUB
Bumblebees are cool, I guess?
Re: CLUB
And my vote would've been "Moonlight Sonata." But, well. . . we might as well start from the top.
[he places the sheet music down and sits in front of the piano, cracking his fingers before he begins to play Symphony No. 5 - 3. Largo first]

Re: CLUB
You okay?
Re: CLUB
[he says a bit stiffly before he sucks in a deep breath]
I'm fine. It was another memory. Damn it, Opal, I already told you that wasn't your fault.
Re: CLUB
Maybe I should handle the next one.
Re: CLUB
I think I'm kinda beginning to understand what we're supposed to do in here.
Re: CLUB
[He sits down and cracks his knuckles.
FLIGHT OF THE BUMBLEBEES.]

Re: CLUB
[there's a bit of concern in Kaito's voice]
How many of her memories have you experienced so far? I've only seen one.
I can take the last one, if you'll let me.
