    Summary

    He takes his hands away and summons a lyre in the shape of the one they always clutched close. They played ballads and rallying strings to stir the spirits of a rebellion.

    Now, Venti gives them the chance – the chance to play something else.

    They take a deep breath, filled in Venti’s chest, and perform a song for mourning.

    A rebellion must always stoke love, loss, and long waves rippling throughout time.

    Summary

    "Joining the rebellion is a very, very risky choice, little boy. It could cost you your life."

    The bard doesn't break eye contact, unfazed. "That doesn't matter. I'll fight even if it kills me."

    He doesn't realize how literally the gods might have taken that, until his life is lost in the final battle. It's fine, this is fine, things are fine. He can see the blue sky, hear the birds chirping carefree, and feel the gentle winds blowing against his cheek. His cheek, stained and blooded with dirt and red from a devastating battle.

    His cheek, now clean and dotted with freckles instead. He doesn't have freckles. His reflection says otherwise.

    This is not fine.

    Summary

    "Being alive is a gift, might I add?"
    "Being alive may be a gift, yet your happiness is what matters over all. What point is there in living if there is not a true smile on your face?"

    There is a Japanese myth which narrates that every person takes the face of the person they most adored in their past life.
