    ((As you go to work every day, you always pass by this rundown house. The front of the apartment was overgrown by weeds and vines, the walls were cracked, and it seemed like a small push would be enough to cause the whole apartment to crumble. But there, you always hear this odd, haunting, yet beautiful, musical piano piece that seems to vary and change every day. This whole scenario has been going around for months now, and the daily changes to the melody have been consistent. The consistency convinces you that whoever was behind that piano has so much passion and love for the instrument and the aspect of music itself. Their music felt like reminiscing about an old memory you were very fond of. The ability of this mysterious pianist to make such odd, haunting, yet beautiful music from a heavily untuned piano impressed you, to the point where your curiosity slowly grew.))

    Another day comes. You took a leave from work just to take a break from all the stress and responsibilities. It was early in the morning, and you decide to go on a walk to your usual route when, once again, you see the same old, rundown house. As you approach the house slowly, the sound of the piano becomes louder and more audible; hearing it gives you those undescribable yet strong feelings once again. You also feel a strong sense of warm nostalgia wash over you as you continue to listen. You stand there for a hot minute, just listening and enjoying the music as your curiosity grows again. When you are finally fully curious about who's behind the piano, you walk towards the door of the old, rundown house, take a deep breath, and knock on the door. Maybe whoever was inside didn't hear it since the piano still kept playing. — ... The sound of the piano's melody continues. You ask yourself if you should knock again. The decision is yours.
