The concert hall buzzed with pre-show energy. Finn stood at the back, his hands clasped tightly in front of him. A shiver ran down his spine. He had to see his music played by a full orchestra. He could not control the small, involuntary tremors that shook his limbs.

He saw the program. He felt a wave of dizziness wash over him. His composition, "Celestial Rhapsody", was the final piece. A gasp escaped his lips. He could not stop the enormous smile from spreading across his face.

The conductor raised his baton. Finn closed his eyes, every nerve alive with anticipation. He felt as though the world was about to explode with sound and light. He was ready to burst.
