After changing his clothes, Lucien left the Psalm Hall through the side door.
Not far away from it, he saw a couple of coaches, in front of which stood Victor, Joel and his family.
All of a sudden, Lucien felt quite emotional. Taking a deep breath, he walked toward them.
"Congratulations, Lucien. I’m so proud of you." Victor walked to Lucien and gave him a big hug, "Are you a bit depressed, Lucien?" Victor was very sensitive.
"Thank you, Mr. Victor." Lucien forced a smile on his face, "I’m fine… just a bit exhausted."
"I see." Victor showed his understanding, "Playing three piano solos at a time is exhausting for any pianist."
Then, Victor gently patted Lucien’s back, "Have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow night we’ll celebrate your success."
"Tomorrow?" To Lucien, the celebration party seemed to be quite in a hurry.
"Yes," answered Victor, "since a couple of days later, I’ll be leaving Aalto."
