When the final note faded into silence, the studio engineer sat motionless, visibly moved. Era wiped a tear from her eye and looked at Remzije, who pulled her into a warm, tight embrace. They knew they had created something truly special. They had successfully played the strings of the heart.

Shaking the rain from her umbrella and stepping out of a long coat was Remzije herself. She scanned the room, her eyes landing on Era, and offered a warm, maternal smile.
