[Yeah that's fine.

Weed is the least offensive thing he could smell like.

He takes their hand and.

Shakes it like the biggest square in the world.]

Silver.

Huh, weird name. Cool, though!

So you're a friend of Natalie's, right?

..Yeah.

What's with the hesitation?

...Nothing.

I guess I'm just awkward, like she says.

Oh. That's cool.

Anyways, uh, you want a hint, right?

...Wouldn't hurt.

Check the piano, then the stage.

[That wasn't as much a hint as telling you what to do, but oh well.]

[It'd be pretty hard if I was a TEENAGE STONER so I'll take it.

Let's go over to the piano.]

[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.]

[..He takes a look at it.]

[As you pick the sheets up, you suddenly realize you have perfect knowledge of how to play the piano. There are three pieces to choose from.]

[..Well letsee what they are.]

[The titles read as follows:

Symphony No. 5 - 3. Largo

Flight of the Bumblebee

Moonlight Sonata - 3rd Movement]

[He stares at Flight of the Bumblebee like 'jesus christ, notes.'

Let's do Moonlight Sonata.]

[The third piece brings you a memory of you laying in your bedroom. It’s shortly after your first trauma game; you were killed, and you know why. It’s because you all panicked. If you took a moment, if you kept calm… Things might have turned out differently. You have yourself to blame, and not only for your own death - you should have been intelligent enough to keep this from happening to the rest of your team.]

[Oh my god don't have the EXACT SAME ISSUE I HAD.

The first one, the first one.]

[Don't tell her how to live her life.

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.]

[....GOD

OKAY

FINE

I'LL PLAY THE BUMBLEBEE ONE.]

[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.]

[He stops playing.

That was sure an experience.

...He should go to the stage.]

[You'll find several pill bottles. Touching one gives you this memory, and after it's over you see something glinting inside the bottle.

You find an opal. Touching it makes you feel strong. You know that you aren’t alone, and that you’re growing and changing. Even if you’ve made mistakes in the past, there are people here who will always be there for you no matter what.

Names and images pass through your mind. Nightingale. Silver. Citrine. Aoko. Ed. Tesla. Kaito. Vash. Sabre. Holly, Obsidian, Clover, Lark, Star… You recall everyone who’s ever been close to you or supported you even when you didn’t yet deserve it. You’re going to be a better person because you owe it to them. Their friendship and love has made you the person who you are.

You feel as though you should keep this stone close to you as you go on. Then you can make your way to the next area.]
