I blinked my eyes, and the conductor was gone.
All I saw was my reflection as the world around me turned quiet and the lingering sound of the note I played drifted in the air.
I wasn't worried that the host would kill me on the spot, just like he did with the woman in red.
His curiosity wouldn't allow for that.
[You may start whenever. I hope that you don't disappoint me.]
I silently smiled while hearing the host's words.
I wasn't worried about disappointing.
That was the least of my worries. I knew that the moment I played, he'd show up.
He was my worry.
'There's only one day left until our supposed meeting. I guess it won't hurt if we meet a little sooner.'
Dang—
I pressed another key.
This time, the note struck louder than the previous, lingering in the air for a longer period of time.
I wasn't a beginner with the piano.
I was no expert, but I was not bad at it.
