Week 3, Friday Post-Investigation - Shirasu

[fragileprophet]

[Ion didn't have any particular attachment to those who were found dead this week...of course, he's always been the sort to feel saddened and regretful about the passing of others. This is no different. But he has other things on his mind, and returning to his dorm feels...unpleasant, at the moment. There was a body found in here earlier today but, uh, Ion's in the music room. It's the only place he can think of to clear his mind. Shirasu should be able to hear the familiar sounds of the harp being played from within.]

[Ion finally turns around to look at Shirasu. His eyes are tired, but he smiles.]

Thank you...it's really kind for you to offer.

[His concerns are probably valid, tbh. Things have been tense!]

Did you have anything in mind?

[wagashis]

Anything that might help you take your mind off things.

[he considers, and--]

... I think I've learned to play the basic notes. If we pick a simple enough piece, I may be able to play with you, as long as you don't mind going slowly.

[fragileprophet]

Oh--yes, I'd love to!

[That already seems to shake his thoughts away from death and those who may be dying. He'll wait for Shirasu to recover the shamisen.]

If you show me your progress, I'll try and think of a tune we can play alongside one another.
