Chapter 111 - Remember

Gold Heights Condominium.

It was already past 3 AM when Iris, Dom and their driver arrived home. Even so, Yi Mei still welcomed them, her face filled with worry. She immediately fussed around Iris, making sure that her Young Miss was safe and uninjured.

Dom ran straight to the kitchen to heat up an extremely late dinner. He was so hungry that he could die! The driver joined him.

Yi Mei encouraged her Young Miss to eat, but Iris declined. She had no appetite.

Iris didn’t feel well. She was still feeling alright while they were at the police station, but when they were in the van on the way home, her body started aching. She also felt a nagging headache. Perhaps she overexerted herself when she fought against the Alarm Girls, in addition to the accumulated exhaustion from the daily rehearsals and her performance at the launch party.

She checked on Ice Cream and Popcorn who were sleeping soundly in the cat room. She gave them quick, gentle rubs before heading to her own bedroom. She took a quick shower. Originally, she wanted to soak in a long, hot bath but decided against it because she was too sleepy.

As soon as she laid on the bed, she was fast asleep.

Silence.

Darkness.

Her body felt like it was floating in a black ocean, the viscous water pressing heavily against her, drowning her. She tried to swim, tried to escape, but she couldn’t move.

Then a whirlpool sucked her and threw her onto a place so familiar, it was her only world once upon a time.

Her little hands were pounding the piano, fumbling on the keys she couldn’t reach with her short fingers. Rimsky-Korsakov’s "Flight of the Bumblebee" played over and over, not stopping even when her little hands started to cramp. She did her best to match the intended rapidity and chaos of the piece as best as she could.

"That’s enough for today," her strict music teacher announced.

She immediately stood up and faced her teacher, her tiny back ramrod straight. Her little hands were tired and shaking, but she didn’t dare complain.

"Your techniques have improved, Miss Evelina. Teacher is very pleased. However, you’re still hesitating. With the way you played it today, it sounded like the wings of the bumblebee are damaged and couldn’t fly properly. Learn how to fully embrace the music. Feel the music, be confident..."

She tried listening to the rest of her teacher’s lecture, but the sounds became distorted and her surroundings became hazy. Then everything warped and she was sitting by the garden for afternoon tea with her parents.
