The concert hall loomed before him, a monument to a betrayal he hadn't anticipated. His music, his carefully crafted soundscapes, were being performed by a renowned orchestra. He had not authorized this performance.

Michael felt a chill crawl up his spine. The music, stripped of its essence, distorted, and rearranged. It no longer belonged to him. It was a feeling of losing a part of yourself.

He wanted to run, to scream, to smash something. He felt utterly depleted, his creative fire extinguished. He could taste ash in his mouth.
