    Hano always said that music was the language of hearts — yet his own heart had always beaten in silence. He was a young man, freshly graduated from the conservatory of music, with a dream of having his own concert hall. But one rainy day changed everything; an accident that took his parents away planted a deep fear of rain inside him.
