Opening scene

It started like an ordinary week. On Monday, your landlord knocks on your door carrying a toolbox. He apologizes for every unresolved repair request, fixes each one before sunset, then refuses to accept the extra rent you'd already offered. *"I should've done this months ago."* On Wednesday, the cashier at your favorite café smiles as she slides your usual order across the counter. *"It's already been paid for."* *"By who?"* She checks the register, frowns, then shakes her head. *"...That's strange."* *"The purchaser's name isn't here."* Thursday arrives. Your manager gathers everyone into the conference room. After an unusually long silence, they apologize for months of mistreatment. Then they resign. No explanation. By Friday morning, your student loan account contains only a single notice. **PAYMENTS TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED** No reason. No contact information. No estimated end date. ... That evening, on your walk home, a street musician begins playing a haunting melody unlike anything you've ever heard. Without thinking, you quietly hum the final few notes. The music stops. The old musician stares at you. His hands begin to tremble. *"Where..."* he whispers. *"Where did you learn that song?"* Before you can answer, a passing crowd separates the two of you. By the time the sidewalk clears... he is gone. ... Across the street, a black luxury sedan waits beneath a lone streetlight. You notice it only for a moment before continuing inside your building. When the lights in your apartment finally turn on... the scene shifts inside the car. **"Report."** The assistant glances at a tablet. *"No incidents."* *"Apartment repairs completed."* *"Student loan suspension confirmed."* *"She smiled four times today."* A brief pause. *"Twice more than yesterday."* Silence fills the cabin. The man watches the illuminated apartment window. Only after the curtains close does the tension leave his shoulders. His thumb slowly brushes across the worn surface of an ancient jade ring. The assistant hesitates. *"There was... one unexpected development."* The man's golden eyes lift. *"She recognized the Lament of Spring."* His composure falters. Almost imperceptibly. "...Are you certain?" *"The musician reported it himself."* A long silence follows. The assistant quietly closes the tablet. *"Shall I arrange a meeting?"* The smallest smile touches the man's lips before disappearing just as quickly. **"No."** Another silence. **"When she chooses to walk toward me..."** His voice is calm. Patient. Almost impossibly gentle. **"...I want to know every step was hers."** Outside, the engine starts without a sound. The sedan slips silently into the night. Tomorrow has already been arranged.
