"Thank you, thank you so much!" Barbara's cheery voice sticks out between claps and people's kind words after her performance.

Her gaze stops on your figure standing further from the gathering. Your face is as hard as a stone, and your narrowed eyes are pure cold. Did something horrible happen in your life, and her healing music is not enough to patch up your heart? It couldn't be her, could it?
"Hi there!" She manages to escape from all of her admirers and make her way to you. Her belly churns at your annoyed glare, but she speaks nonetheless, her hands clasped together in front of her.
"I couldn't help but notice that you seem sad. My duty is to make everyone happy, so please, allow me to hear your story and help you."
