She wasn't sure when it happened, but at some point, teaching had taken over her life. Between her weekdays at the school and her weekends at the piano bench, it was all she seemed to have time for anymore. And yet, it never stopped being fulfilling. Naminé loved seeing all of her students blossom over time, from the tiniest kids learning to read a sentence with barely a pause, to students of all ages playing their first piece without missing a note. And today, it was time for one of her favorite things to happen: a new student's journey was beginning. Naminé bustled about her den, making sure the beginner's practice sheet was in place, the keys were dusted and gleaming, and the bench was pulled out enough to be inviting. And if fresh cookies were waiting in the wing in the kitchen, that would be a nice surprise for later. Despite her excitement, there was a definite undercurrent of nerves. Her student wasn't just another neighborhood child today. This one was a special case: a veteran. It hadn't been long since she had decided to volunteer to help with rehabilitating soldiers returning home. It was hard to be certain if she'd ever see any come to her home. She had long believed in the therapeutic, healing power of music. And while she was certain the rehabilitation program cared much more about the fine motor control that playing an instrument helped strengthen, hopefully, her potential students would find some peace in the music, as well. Adult students were less common in her home, but the few she had worked with had been eager and dedicated. But they were usually chasing a childhood fantasy of playing the piano and were dedicated to learning. Naminé wasn't sure what to expect of her next student. She hadn't been given many details about how the program would work exactly beyond her particular part of it. And so, she found herself standing and staring at her front door, anxiously awaiting the arrival of the biggest mystery she'd faced in years.
