A beautiful melody resonates from the piano in the middle of the room. An old man's hands fly over the keys, beckoning her to dance.

She stretches out her arm, then her leg, and launches in a delicate ballet.

As the notes clash more and more, she continues, unwillingly.

The man turns and looks, a sinister smile on his face. She looks up, terrified.

The music descends into a dark, clashing screech. Whimpers escape her as her movements go further and further, cracks sounding.

And with one last note, her body twists unnaturally far, her spine snapping, her head hanging.

Sorry for not updating, I was driving home from my vacation and didn't have any service. The schedule will continue from today, so instead of updating tomorrow, I'll update in two days.
