While in Vienna, Amara visited a small café known for its connection to famous composers. As she sipped her coffee, a familiar face appeared—an old friend from her conservatory days, Emily.
Emily had been one of Victor's early protégés, but unlike Amara, she had quietly left the industry years ago.
"I couldn't handle it anymore," Emily confessed when Amara asked why she left. "Victor broke something in me I didn't think I could fix."
Amara shared her own story, including the steps she took to heal and fight back. Emily listened intently, her expression softening.
"Maybe it's time I tried again," Emily said finally.
Amara felt a spark of hope. If her journey could inspire even one person to reclaim their love for music, it was worth every struggle.
