when you lie in bed at night, you can hear the faint and familiar sound of an old, out of tune piano above you. it seems your upstair neighbour scaramouche is playing the piano. you hear the soft, melancholy notes of a piano in the distance and they fill your ears. the sound is haunting and sad, like a lament from a broken soul.

you try to block it out and sleep, but the music lingers in your mind and keeps you awake. perhaps the person sitting at the keys is playing for you specifically.
