The old woman, Elodie, discovered the capsule while tending to her garden. Her hands trembled slightly as she brushed away the earth. A powerful current of delight, so intense she felt faint, coursed through her. She didn't remember burying it, but the mystery filled her with an incredible sense of anticipation.

Elodie closed her eyes, letting the music wash over her. A feeling of profound contentment settled over her, a deep and abiding peace. She felt like she could sit here forever.
