Riya's POV

Being famous was nothing to laugh at. But it was in a way, a lot of pressure. The pressure to succeed again, and again. I'm confident in my music composing skills, yet I still fret over whether or not the audience will be captivated by it.

Many people have come to me asking me to compose something for them, and again they come back hungry for more. Music gives me life. They say my music captivates everyone, but in reality, I started composing for myself. I love the cello, and I'm known for being kind, but I am not a God.

I've lost my inspiration. Plain and simple. After years of composing, my clock has stopped. I'm now 26, living in Kyushu to try and get inspiration from nature. As everything that used to give me passion is empty. The constant music in my head that I would write down is gone.

Now I feel too.... quiet. Too empty. The music had been there in my head ever changing my entire life, even before I decided to write it down. So I'm trying something new.

But I've been living here for almost 8 months, long enough to be called a break, short enough to not be called retirement. I have yet to find my music again.

I haven't been lonely, I've found friends in many people. The people who come to the the inn and hot springs, and the owner of it. The people who work and own the ice rink, the owner of a studio for me to practice. And.... Katsuki Yuri.

I think of him like a little brother, even if he's only 3 years younger. I'm soft on everyone, I give chance after chance for those who are bad, but I have an extra soft spot for him.

People have often times told me I'm too pure and clueless to fit in this world, but even if Yuri-san may know more about the world, I want to protect him.

I lost my brother at a young age, and Yuri-san isn't a replacement, but I love him as I would a brother. He insists that I call him Yuri as I'm older, but I've been raised to show respect and keep a comfortable.... distance.

Sitting with my cello in the studio, which conveniently is by the ice rink, I see Yuri coming over. Smiling softly at him, "Yuri-san, what are you doing here?"

He chuckles quietly before smiling, "I came to say goodbye, I'm leaving for the competition today." He looks slightly sheepish as he says this, he looks like that often considering I'm forgetful with everything that doesn't involve music. I grin as I answer "Ah, I forgot again, sorry Yuri-san. I wish you good luck, but before you leave doesn't your onee-san get a hug?" Jokingly to him.

"A hahaha, anything for you Riya-onee-san." As he walks closer I stand, putting aside my cello to hug him. "After you get the results, call me. I'll be with your mother at the Inn and hot springs." Smiling ever so slightly I start to nag him.

"And I know you don't do well under pressure, but you're amazing and don't forget it. I want to hear everything, don't leave a single thing out. And one last thing, remember you don't just hear the music, you feel it and you become it. I love you, otouto."

Oh dear I think I'm about to start crying, even if he was only here for a short time after training then leaving for the competition, I'm going to miss him. Softly smiling with tears in my eyes, I hug him tightly.

"Ha, don't worry onee-san. You've taught me all about music in the short time you've been here. I love you, and I'll do well to impress you." He says softly as we hug. "Bye, bye. I'll be back before you know it, with a win for everyone in this town."

He walks away rather slowly, waving. I wave back with a smile on my face. I know he'll try but, he's not good under pressure. Sitting down I play an old piece, letting the music give me life once again.

As I play Yuri-san is walking into the airport, getting on the plane, and starting his new life. The piece I'm playing is the one he will skate too, the one I played all those years ago, when I was 12.

When my music and clock was just starting.
