Chapter 2: Ray
"♪"
Raelion opened his eyes to the rhythmic humming of a girl. A soft, melodic, and feminine tone, something he had never heard in his life.
His entire body ached. He could barely muster the strength to move.
When he looked down, he noticed his wings were wrapped in neat bandages. They weren't tight, but enough to hinder his wings from flapping.
He was lying on soft pastel bedding, his head supported up by fluffy mauve pillows.
'What the...' he thought.
He glanced around. Warm peach walls. A candle collection lined the shelves. A guitar stand that held both acoustic and electric guitars. A compact synthesizer sat just below. Pink rubber panels hung on all the walls, soundproofing, no doubt.
His gaze drifted toward the desk.
She was sitting there, wearing nothing but an oversized white T-shirt, completely absorbed in her setup. Headphones on, eyes glued to a curved monitor. Fingers tapping softly in rhythm.
'What the actual...?'
A canary bird slept peacefully inside a cream-colored, spacious cage nearby.
