93 CH 92: Where is the Food?

In a music room, its casement windows had been opened. The music poured out as the sun came in. A large black piano stood out against the cream walls and wooden flooring. Its glossy grandeur felt out of place with the rustic interior.

Eri knitted her eyebrows. 

She raised her right hand and spread her fingers. Each tip touched a white piano key. Her right thumb caressed the D note. Her other fingers followed until her left pinky landed on the A note. Then, her left thumb positioned on the middle C note beside her right one. She practiced pressing each key. 

Her scowl deepened.

Her ring finger and pinky still needed more effort than the others.

Mila walked over to the piano and sat beside the young girl. Her curly ginger hair had been brushed back to a ponytail. She wore a simple outfit of jeans and a ruffle blouse. Compared to her, Eri had gray shorts and a white shirt with her cinnamon hair braided behind her. 

A wind flew inside.
