The next room was a parlor. It looked beautiful, at one time, but now it was just... sad. Old. Lost in the throws of time and lonely. Remye wandered towards the pianoforte, trailing her fingers over the dusty keys. The exit was near her, now. She tried the door, but realized it was locked. Frowning, she resembled the door... And looked annoyed.
"I can't play this thing." She said slowly, though given her lack of memories, who knows. She might be Mozart.
Still, only one way forward. She sat, and tried to figure out the keys. Somehow, the melody she pounded out didn't seem quite right.

The next attempt was even worse than the first. She was definitely not a musician in a past life.

She pounded on the keys some more, harder in frustration, and for a moment the air seemed almost... Wrong. But her fingers graced a different key just in the nick of time, saving her from herself.
Or something.
She continued on, growing increasingly annoyed at the pianoforte.

Still no key, no special ding, no 'You Have Won!' celebratory confetti.
Reyme decided to try playing with her face, dropping her head onto the keys with a loud thump.
... Nope.
Still no fanfare of victory.

Since playing with her face didn't work, Remye tried with her fingers again. Maybe by the time the door actually did open, she would be a proper musician.
Or dead.

Ta ta ta ta TA TA TA...
"I give up," Remye said, even as her fingers continued playing a melancholy not-quite-a-melody-and-definitely-not-the-right-melody-anyway, putting her head against the pianoforte as if that would, somehow, give her success.
"This is exhausting."
Give her bosses any day. At least they eventually put her out of her misery.

It almost sounded right, and for a brief while, Remye was excited as her fingers drifted across the keys. But at the last minute... No.
No success.
No success ever.

A kind and merciful Goddess would have given her a piece of paper with the notes on it.
Just saying.
Remye was going to get shadowy blisters on her fingers...

The pianoforte was driving her mad. After another fruitless endeavor, she carefully got up, stretched her legs... Kicked some debris around...
Then sat back down, sighing. "I think I'd have more luck just smashing my head into the door." Grumble.
Terrible not-melodies filled the air once more.

The atmosphere was, again, for a brief moment very tense and... terrifying, really. But the wrong key was hit again, and neither success nor death succumbed to the girl.
This time.

"No, no, of course that's not right." Remye growled at herself even as her fingers continued the wrong melody. "You just played that."
She was going to lose her mind in here. The boss was just a warning, a distraction against the true evil: Music.

"Close, but no cigar." She wasn't sure what that meant but it seemed appropriate. She sighed, putting her head on the keys again.
Maybe if she squinted really, really hard, the door would just swing open.

"No no NO!" She snarled at herself, getting up in frustration and kicking a piece of something away from her.
"Come on, Rem, come on." She tugged at her ears, growling, and sank onto the chair again. "Come on."

She tried to play calm and collectively. Perhaps it was her anger that was throwing her off. It wasn't the pianoforte's fault, not really.
Okay.
It was a little. But she wasn't judging.
