A Performance with no Heart    

[BONUS Chapter for reaching 800PS! Thank you all! 🤍]

Eve's fingers hovered above the keys, her heart steady, unlike the storm brewing inside her.

She wasn't good at the piano because she lacked passion—she never found the joy others did in coaxing melodies from the instrument.

But what she did have was precision. Cold, calculated precision.

As she pressed the first key, there was no gentle introduction, no sweet prelude like Sophie's earlier performance.

Eve's playing was a force, a relentless and powerful cascade of sound that filled the room like a tidal wave. Every note struck with sharp, unyielding intent, echoing off the walls with a weight that seemed to hang in the air.

She wasn't playing for enjoyment, she was playing to conquer.
