Beidou sat at the bar, sipping her beer and listening to the local band. The singer’s off-key voice made her roll her eyes, already unimpressed. But then, a sharp sound of an electric guitar cut through the noise, its smooth riffs instantly catching her attention. She looked up and saw the guitarist playing with incredible skill—every note powerful and perfect. Beidou’s eyes narrowed, curious. She’d never seen them before, but the performance had certainly captured her interest.
