I ought to be drawing Chopin instead, what with it being his birthday-ish and all, but instead I got hit with the visual equivalent of a drabble, so. Because, even though Erlkonig actually translates as Alder-king or (often) Elfking, the Japanese kanji (Ma-O) actually could be read (I think) like ‘King of Evil’. And well, as some stories go, the king of hell was once upon a time the brightest and most beautiful angel. And Schu’s music tends to manifest in light. And I only just realized that his composer baton sort of looks like a sword. And then I wanted to draw him with a flaming sword/baton and wings. So. Anyway.

I doubt the anime will look anything like this.

Hey, wait a minute! I just noticed something. That thing leaning on the rail next to Schubert...is that the case he was carrying around everywhere in ep 4??? I thought he’d lost it, and wondered if it would ever show back up. Like, did it have something in it that he’d taken from the lab? Is this plot related?? Will we find out what’s in it??? Inquiring minds want to know!
