Soul's supposed to be doin' a lot of things now. He's supposed to be working on his homework and actually getting it done for once. He's supposed to be makin' dinner for when Crona comes over sooner or later. Then there's that stupid chore list Maka left him with 'coz he lost a bet with her.

He's not really doing any of that. He'd stuck one of his brother's recordings on the turnstile and crashed on the couch with some 'required reading', but ended up falling asleep with the book as a lightshield for his face, rather than something even being read.

....oops?

Really now, whatever had he been doing last night to leave him so tired?

"A guy named Wes Evans did it. Unofficial recording, very rare, you wouldn't really hear an instrument alone like this except at a performance. They all say he's a musical genius."

Pause.

"He's my brother."

He's sort of flat-toned about all of this.

Soul blinks as if he's suddenly realized how he sounded, and laughs in a sort of embarassed way. "Haha, no, I love him - an' if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have been allowed to the school."

His family's just complicated. But he ain't gonna complain about family to -Crona- of all people.

"I dunno," Soul says. He really doesn't know what's goin' on in his head right now, and he hates that, when he can't catch what his own thoughts are twisting around.

"I guess I'm askin', do you recognize the song that's on now?"

The Meditation of Souls, the song he'd played through his piano and Arachne's spider-webs, the song Maka had transmitted to the world, their entwined abilities playing the insanity out of the world.

"Yeah," Soul says. "I guess that song coming on kinda got me thinking."

He's not even sure how to explain this, man.

"I don't like playing for people. I don't play very well. I had to do it then, though. I've only played twice because I wanted to, and that was for important people. I guess what I'm sayin' is, I don't like that you haven't heard me play for real, 'coz you're just as important."

"It's a little scary, though," Soul confesses. "I really am no good at it."

Soul blinks and pauses at that, before smiling.

"Yeah, I guess."

Clearly that was the right thing to say, Crona.
