“What’s a Starlit Bow?”
*******************
{Haru}
(typing in the keyboard)
“Hmmm…”
{Yuki}
(peeks into the room)
“Whatcha doin, Grumpy Uncle?”
{Haru}
(shrugs and continues typing)
“Nothing, Yuki… I’m busy…”
{Yuki}
“Oh OK then…”
(for a brief moment the room became silent)
{Yuki}
(grabs his phone)
“Hmmm… Maybe I’ll just play…”
(unconsciously, Yuki set the volume up to maximum)
{Haru}
(gets annoyed)
“…aaaargh! Would you just!!!…”
{Yuki}
(turns the volume down)
“Sorry…”
{Haru}
(sighs)
“I’m sorry, Yuki… That was… That was uncalled for…”
{Yuki}
“It’s fine… I know you’re busy and all that with Nika being out…”
{Haru}
“Yeah… I guess I need a bit of a break…”
(the pair became silent for a minute)
{Yuki}
(breaks the silence)
“Btw… What are you working on? It seems serious…”
{Haru}
“No… It isn’t… It’s just that… I want to spotlight Nika’s new piece on her page but I can only say what I know about it…”
{Yuki}
“Well, what do you mean? Surely that’s enough for her fans…”
{Haru}
“Perhaps… But I still don’t know how to start it…”
{Yuki}
“Let me help you then! Let’s see…”
{Haru}
“Yuki…”
{Yuki}
(looks towards the computer screen)
“What’s the title of the piece by the way?”
{Haru}
“Starlit Bow… It’s actually a preview bonus for the new album Nika is making…”
{Yuki}
“Ooooooh… That’s interesting!…”
{Haru}
(sighs)
“Yes… But I really don’t have a clue how to tell our readers about it…”
{Yuki}
“Well… You did say before that it was Nika’s family anthem, right?”
{Haru}
(nods)
“Yeah… And a tribute to her late grandmother…”
{Yuki}
“See? It wasn’t that hard…”
{Haru}
“I guess so…”
{Yuki}
“Hmmm… Tell you what, you can practice on me!”
{Haru}
“Hmmmm? What do you mean?”
{Yuki}
“I mean, you can tell me what you know about it…”
{Haru}
“Well, according to Nika’s notes… It’s a performance inspired by her grandmother in heaven… The bow symbolizes the violin’s bow but also, the front part of the boat…”
{Yuki}
“Boat?”
{Haru}
“Yes… If you can recall the story of Hotaru’s Road, Seï (Nika) and I escaped Krandïyar and followed the firefly (Hotaru) through the forest…”
(Yuki nods)
{Haru}
“…the album finishes when we fell from atop a waterfall and end up in front of a lake with a boat…”
{Yuki}
“OK…”
{Haru}
“So since this is a special edition and the new album was postponed due to Nika’s injury, she thought it was best for this piece to be included as a sneak preview for her new album…”
{Yuki}
“So… Why did Nika call it, Starlit Bow?”
{Haru}
“Well… I was the one who named it… Nika actually wanted to call it Moonlit Lake…”
{Yuki}
“But Nika already has a lotta moon titled pieces…”
{Haru}
“Exactly… So, I reminded her about the origin of Seï… Which means star in Japanese… And also, she inherited part of the name of her late grandmother which is Stella… Which coincidentally means Star in Italian…”
{Yuki}
(ponders)
“Is that also the reason why Nika always has a star in her logos?”
{Haru}
“Why, yes… Indeed it is so… I cannot wait for the new album when I heard this song…”
{Yuki}
“Ooooh! That’s so interesting! I can’t wait to hear that!”
{Haru}
“Well, you can listen to the song… (links at the bottom of the post)”
{Yuki}
“Yay! I hope I could also visit the shiny carnival in the story!”
{Haru}
“Uhmmm… Yes and hopefully we’ll have an in-depth look on the story when the next arc for A Start of a Dream comes along…”
{Yuki}
“See… It wasn’t so bad, wasn’t it?”
{Haru}
“No… It wasn’t… Thanks, Yuki…”
(Haru goes back to typing his article)
