urg, can't fill this out now, writing the Kat version was already quite tiresome, this one might be even worse lol
Background StoryWIPHow long has she been sitting there ? Silently listening to his song ? Who knows. What are her thoughts ? "Should I let him know I am here ? Should I speak up ? Manifest myself ? Make a noise ? Seize this moment ? Or remain quiet ? And risk losing it all ?" Who knows. Does he know she's there ? Maybe he has noticed her ? Heard her ? Seen her ? Smelled her ? Smelled her ? Who knows. Has he been coming to this place, days after days, engaging in this play with her, teasing her, hoping for her to speak up ? Who knows. How long can they go on ? Who will be the one to give in first ? Who knows.
The Lost Children found each other, and now, just, need, one, final... step... and... who... is... gonna... make... it ? Who knows.
#the story so far#
Tiji heard the news of a predator roaming around several days ago. The foxes around her were visibly unrestful and things have been ever worse since then.
blablabla
But in this turmoil, she also found blabla

thoughts, thougths...
... looking for him, Rain's warnings still echoing through her head "you cannot trust the wolves. whether this one or any other one, they are all the same Tiji, and their ways are not ours. Trust me, he his dangerous, he'll poison your soul and then he'll eat your heart, and once he's done with you, he'll abandon you - stay away from him, for your sake and sake of our people"
hmhm...
"the first time she saw him she was surprised, almost disappointed. The way her tribespeople described him had conjured an entirely different image of him. According to the men, the roaming wolf was a giant ferocious beast capable to slaughter even the strongest of their warriors ; and according to the women, the roaming wolf was an older male with a inebriating dominant aura, a sexual predator with an insatiable lust for mating.
She saw none of that, all she saw was a scrawny boy her age who hadn't had a decent meal in days... maybe she should have brought some food ? she'd do that tomorrow"

𝄽
𝄽 this is a Quarter Rest.
"It’s a period of silence that lasts for one beat in 4/4 time. What this means is that for the duration of one beat, no note should be played."
And I love that, it allows me to play with a couple of ideas.
First - the Time Signature being 𝄴 (Common Time), aka 4
4. And I'm sure I could squeeze some ideas out of this KatKat.
Also, 𝄽 , one brief moment of silence, a single beat.
It goes nicely with the expression "heart skipping a beat", and in the context of the image, it could be a moment of surprise that caught her, or him, off guard. Just an instant, just one heart beat.
And beyond that, the silence this 𝄽 stands for also represents one missing note.
So I also like the idea that Kat might have been playing the same song a lot, or maybe the same segment of a song a lot, and Tiji came to grow accustomed to it.
And that's when Kat decided to not play one of the notes. To just leave a blank. With the hope that it might get her by surprise, upset her and make her come out of HER silence to fill in this blank.
An invitation.
Plenty of ideas I like.
