[Sheik is speaking over music; that of a piano. Yes, he's exploiting the empty city. Something like the latter part of this, perhaps. (About 4 minutes onward, pulled into something longer.)]

And so it all begins to return again...

[The music continues whilst he is silent. His tone becomes a little bemused.Strange menageries they keep, though

Where's the music coming from, Sheik? It sounds like that thing in the hotel lobby they almost threw me out for fooling around with.

...This city is so quiet, after these past few days it almost hurts, all the silence again.

I guess it wasn't real after all, now that everyone's gone from it but us.

A piano in one of the shops. Unfortunate that we likely cannot take such things back.

[The music is ongoing.]

No, it was not. Just a diversion. It's happened before.

To catch us off our watch? Is that why it came in the middle of an attack?

It's possible, but I don't think so. Be on your guard, anyway.

Did you try other options? Before...doing that?

I still love listening to you play, you know.

[Voice][Private // Unhackable]

[theeyeoftruth]

No.

[soldier_puppy]

Why not?

[He pauses again, silent but for the music.]

Logically, there were no other options.

You don't have anything to apologize for Sheik. Really.

[Voice][Private]

[theeyeoftruth]

I am glad, then. How do you fare, my lady?

[memento_blade]

It's been an interesting week. I ate snails.

((A pause.))

I don't recommend them.

[theeyeoftruth]

Snails?

I shall take your advice, I believe.
