"The world goes on even when I am gone.
Don't shed a tear because my memory lives on.
Even when I'm not here, my music will be.
When you hear my melodies, remember our symphony."

Those were the last few words written by Arslan when he knew his life was at a crossroads. They were written to provide solace to another soul who came to mean so much to him. Ren.

For Arslan, only his music mattered. His soul sang when his lips couldn't; his heart created lyrics when his body couldn't.

Ren is a soul who was Arslan's shadow, a best friend as they come. For years he was in love with the man whom the world adored, yet not once did he confess his heart. He knew nothing would ever take over Arslan's soul. There was only music.

But when life was at stake... during these last few moments that fate offered another chance, will these two souls make up for what could have been, or will their feelings be never revealed, and all that would be left in the end is a sad sonnet?
