Although the duet between Maya and Chris just now could be considered as one of Maya's best performances to date, for some reason, she felt that something was lacking.
Chris's piano skills were indeed impressive, surpassing those of ordinary students by a large margin. However, there was still a considerable gap between his performance and her expectations.
She was fully aware that she didn't have many options left. If even he wasn't suitable, she might end up performing solo. However, the nocturnal symphony required a duet to sound its best. A solo performance would inevitably feel somewhat thin.
Chris stood up and walked over to Maya. He softly asked, "Miss Maya, how do you think I played just now? Can we collaborate?"
"Your performance was decent, but some of the details weren't handled very well. You still need more practice," she responded, despite her dissatisfaction.
Although she wasn't satisfied, she had no other choice at the moment.
