In the Wings, music started to play within the speakers, apollo expected to be some sort of rock-star music, but it ended up being instrumental acoustic music

'That song... Isn't that the one Lamiroir was singing?'

he nodded, listening closely to the tone

'Yeah, you're right. "The Guitar's Serenade"...'

'Wow, I'd love to do a show on a stage like this!'

she said, walking around the stage, doing tip dance moves with her feet, hopping along, apollo smiled at her exctiment

'I'd come to see that'

trucy eyes lit up with excitement as she scanned the area

'The house is full, and as one, the audience sighs with wonderment! There I am, singing my ballad, rose petals swirling through the air...'

'Not bad... wait. Aren't you a magician!?'

he asked, just realizing, trucy then suddenly came to that realization too

'...Oh. That's right. I was a magician, wasn't I'

"Some dedication..."

then suddenly, a burst of dramatic laughter echoed across the stage, then, in the blink on the eye, valant appeared before them

'Ah ha! If it isn't Miss Trucy! And indeed it is!'

trucy hoped up and down with excitment

'Uncle Valant!'

apollo, being the only sane one in their, raised a brow

'What exactly are you doing here?'

Valant twirled his baton in his hand

'...I take real responsibility in tasks undertaken. I am inspecting my equipment of illusion to make sure naught is amiss, Miss'

'The Lamiroir Teleportation Illusion! Ooh!'

'Should anything go wrong, it would reflect poorly upon me and my troupe. As I went about my exacting examination, I happened to notice that piano. ...And I remembered that fair lady's melancholy melody'

'Hey Apollo, maybe Uncle Valant can shed some light on this whole thing for us!'

but before apollo could even ask first, trucy looked around over at the piano, and set on the bench

'That's one big piano! we only have a keyboard back home, my daddy's amazing at it'

apollo crossed his arms as he grinned a little at the instrument

'Heh. You should get Mr. Wright to teach you sometime'

'oh he does on the weekends, hey Maybe now's my big chance! Stand back, this could be the debut of a prodigy!'

however, when she pressed the key, it made a horrible sound, it made even valant cringe

' ...Eww'

'Did you make that noise just now?'

apollo asked, winching, that was the most horrible piano key note he ever heard, trucy then started to examine the insturment

'Um... Let me try it again. You know, I think something's stuck in the piano! Time to take a look under the hood... ...Huh. Look! This was stuck between the strings. It looks like some kind of switch'

"Someone must have thrown this into the piano..."

apollo took the switch and placed it into his pocket
