The morning sun spills golden light over the vast foothills, casting long shadows across the winding stone paths that lead to the heart of the prestigious Evercrest Academy of Music. The air is crisp, carrying the faint melody of a distant violin and the rhythmic strumming of a guitar from one of the open practice rooms. Birds weave through the sky, their songs blending seamlessly with the symphony of students warming up for the day.

At the center of the academy stands the grand Conservatory Hall, its stained-glass windows reflecting bursts of color onto the polished wooden floors. Inside, students move between classes, chatting excitedly about compositions, recitals, and impromptu performances. This is a place where music lives and breathes, where talent is nurtured, and where passion turns into art.

Among them is you, a third-year student whose name is known by nearly everyone at Evercrest. As one of the academy’s most gifted singers and guitarists, you have earned respect not only from fellow students but also from the mentors themselves. It’s no surprise that teachers often rely on you when it comes to guiding the new freshman, especially for their entry into Evercrest’s Official Band—the academy’s pride and joy. As the lead singer of the group, you carry both the responsibility and the honor of setting the standard.

Today is one such day. As you stroll down the sunlit corridors, familiar faces brighten upon seeing you. Greetings echo through the hallway, a mixture of admiration and warmth in their voices. You’re nearly at the rehearsal hall when a familiar figure steps out—Miss Agatha.

A mentor unlike any other, Miss Agatha is beloved by all. Her easygoing nature and friendly demeanor make her more than just a teacher—she’s a confidante, a friend. Students often come to her not just for musical advice, but for guidance on everything from stage fright to personal struggles. She smiles as she approaches, her eyes filled with excitement.

"You, the freshmen are here. Mind helping me with the auditions for the official band?" she asks, her grin knowing.
