The old piano in the corner of the room stood silent, but a smile grew on his face. The note from "Veridian Visions" felt far away now, replaced by the desire to play. He sat down at the keys. He started slow, a few notes, finding the key.

He closed his eyes. The music filled the room, a gentle melody, expressing what the letter couldn't. His fingers danced across the keys, and he began to weave a new world.

His mind was calm, focused and the music, a soothing balm.
