Rin sat in her chair trying to get comfortable. Her long straight dark and light brown hair, drifted over her shoulder as she twisted and turned slightly. Her dark brown eyes searched around as she felt awkward in her own skin.

She reached around moving something attached to her that was poking her side.

A man walked over, "Sorry, it sometimes does that." He said taking hold of the small black box and wire. "I'll fix it for you." He stated as he bent over to secure the box on her side hip.

Rin nodded as she watched him. "Well it's not like I haven't had my fair share of these." She stated.

Both laughed a little as he fixed the box and readjusted the wire on her shirt with the small black microphone on her collar. "That should do it." He stated.

Rin looked up to the man with a bright smile. "Thank you." She said gratefully. The man stepped back away from Rin and back behind the set of cameras placed in a circle in front of her.

A woman with long wavy blonde hair sat across from Rin with a camera right next to her. A team of recording experts gathered around at their equipment turning everything on and doing a quick check before turning to the woman with blonde hair.

"Good morning Rin." The woman started. "My name is Casey Armada, as you already know." She smiled to Rin.

Rin smiled back and gave a small bow with her head, while tucking a bit of her hair behind her ear.

"We are here today to talk about your band from high school." Casey looked to the papers in her lap and then back to Rin. "Now..." Casey paused for a moment. "I know it may be a bit hard to talk about the past... But it's also good for this to be out there. People are wanting to know more about your band 'Un-Known Artist'." Casey watched Rin for a minute and when she got no immediate reply she continued. "In the past year or so one of the band members passed away." The room was already quiet but it suddenly got even quieter.

"Yeah, it was hard on all of us." Rin held back more than what she wanted to say on the topic.

"But the four of you did something very special. And that's why we are here." Casey told Rin.

Rin forced a good smile.

"From what we know, you and the other band members didn't know one another until...?" Casey tilted her head a bit.

"Until I posted up a flyer looking for other musicians." Rin let her shoulders drop a bit. "It wasn't that we didn't know one another, it's more like... We didn't talk to each other, until that day." Rin felt a little uncomfortable as she sat in the red velvet old chair.

"Why don't you tell us about that day." Casey smiled.

Rin twiddled her fingers together as she thought of the day all four band members found one another. "Well, it all started with a little piece of paper........."
