(The added picture is what Daivry's tower looks like) (The music can be played whenever.)

All was quiet across the vacant hills, except for a straggling butterfly or two. Grey, lifeless former symbols of happiness that emitted no sound as their wings glided on a lonely breeze.  Purple flowers hung their faces in shame, last night's dew dripping from their petals. The faint sound of music disturbed the silence as a structure came into view, off in the distance of a forest. Light bled from various windows inside, at the highest one is where a young girl danced. Twirling without a care in the world, the young girl preformed a professional pirouette in the middle of her elegantly styled room. A canopy bed was off to the side, a mahogany bed frame with soft downy comforters. Paintings adorned the walls, grotesque works of art of skulls or skeletons. An easel in one corner indicated where the paintings came from. And an odd looking wooden box was propped up against the far wall. The box was large, large enough to be a closet but it was hollow inside, with no shelf platforms. This box looked out of place in the room, it had black cords that wrapped and knotted around a different cord that released a musical sound when tightened. Cello, violin, piano keys, and practically a whole orchestra. All by themselves.

The girl stopped abruptly and so did the music. She wore a white long sleeved shirt with ruffles and ribbons, one black glove on her right hand. Underneath she wore a black lolita dress and wore no shoes. She turned towards the box. "I'm done now." She said politely. The box folded back into the wall without another sound. Daivry turned away, crossing the room to the window. She absently scratched the back of her head, fingers disappearing in her mess of long black curls. She sat down on the window seal, looking out over a tear shaped lake. She trailed a hand across the glass, her reflection stared back a her, copying Daivry's glum expression. Knees pressed up to her chest, Daivry held her head down, lacing her arms around her legs. Sobbing quietly.
