Summary
“Hello, are you listening to me?”
But the man at the piano does not answer. His eyes remain closed as his hands expertly dance across the ivory keys, switching songs to a more somber tune played in doloroso. It’s nothing like any of the music he’s heard in Lumière, but it sounds almost familiar…like something he’s heard long ago.
He tries to ignore the hollowed out feeling carving at his chest and instead reaches his hand out to touch the man on his shoulder. “Don’t you hear me?”
The man’s hands still on the piano, the somber song coming to an abrupt end as his eyes shoot open—wide and pale blue that shine under the faint light of the campsite—and turns to look straight at Gustave. “You can see me?”
“Yes, you are rather difficult to miss,” Gustave replies, giving into his teasing nature in spite of everything. “What with that unruly mane of yours covering the lovely view of the Paintress.”
Instead of the record player, there is a strange self-playing piano at camp...except it isn't self-playing, and only Gustave can see its pianist.
