♭ music therapy
@mpruyul
to say her experience at the island has been quite normal so far is perhaps a bit of an overstatement, but nothing altogether too strange had happened to her yet, and considering the explanation she’d been given at the start, one might think she would’ve faced a lot more issues with people’s abilities and things like that. instead she finds herself almost thinking this is a city like any other and she’s just somewhere in south korea, about to call home to her mother and tell her about her day. though calling home is restricted to places that can be mistaken for the normal world, she’d been told.
in any case, the days are going by quite well, she hasn’t had to whip out a flame or two to fend off any attacker and though she’s on an island surrounded by sea, it’s big enough that she doesn’t feel uncomfortable with it - which had been an entirely different story when she’d walked across the bridge to said island, but well.
the normalcy of it all ends here, however, with the woman across from her simply walking up to her and asking her if she can play a music instrument - how did she know? - and whether she’d be okay with playing said music instrument for her daughter. it takes her a moment or two to simply process that before she clears her throat lightly and says: “i’m sorry, what?”
