The music was already playing inside me. A joyous melody, a vibrant rhythm. Every single thing felt perfect. Then, a boom. A truly *satisfying* boom.

My feet barely touched the ground as I raced towards the window. I practically ripped the curtains aside. Mrs. Davies' willow. Split in two.

A burst of energy surged through me. I couldn’t stop myself; I just wanted to leap for joy. "Oh, glorious!" I yelled, throwing my arms up.

The world seemed to pulse around me, a symphony of light and shadow. I giggled, and then I laughed, a genuine, unrestrained sound that filled the morning air.
