"Would you honor us with a song?"
Oscare Iono steps up, relaxing. "Good evening everyone. I hope you're enjoying the show so far. I see tons of familiar and unfamiliar faces alike."

"Today we gather for the Celebration of Thaliak, the Scholar." Oscare opens the case strapped along his back, pulling out a reflective and shiny ebony violin. He brings it up to his chin.
"♪From morning till midnight, I can't find a reason; this world keeps on turning without a single motive;"
"♪The value of this life results to nothing much; even if I were to die -- nothing would change;"
"♪If it didn't matter either way, then I would stay; I'd choose life and I would die another day; because I know right now, if I were to die,"
"♪I would rather leave a bit of me behind..."
Oscare takes a deep breath, exhaling strongly. He stops for a whole two seconds, a blank look on his lavender eyes. He continues.
"♪And, I'm terrified, the future is unclear; in my own eyes, the past is dark;"
"♪'Why won't you go? It hurts so much', I call out; wishing my feelings would all be thrown all away;"
"♪If it didn't matter either way, both the same; I would laugh so I could cry another day,"
"♪And because of that, I know if I'm alone; I would rather laugh my time all away..."
Oscare continues into a harmony of no lyrics, the back of his feels shifting along with the rhythm. All of a sudden, a fast series of words roll right out smoothly.
"♪ 'I won't love myself unless I am flawless in every single thing I do,';"
"♪'Hesitating only shows how weak you are',"
"♪'Feelings only get in the way',"
"♪So then maybe you're in pain because you can't get back up now?"
"♪And you can't seem to be taking anymore?"
Oscare chuckles a little bit, his strumming elbow quivering a little bit. A slower strum follows a much more dreary and hesitant tone.
"♪Although emotions seem unnecessary; can you not feel something warm inside the tears?"
"♪Something way too hard to see... and always wobbly..."
"♪I think we all call it something like a 'heart',"
Oscare slows to a stop... looking up. His violet gaze glows once again, finishing his song without even looking at the string -- playing by heart.

"♪If it didn't matter either way, I'd never stray;"
"♪So I'd see if it was worth my while to stay; whether not I would cry today or maybe I'd laugh it all away,"
"♪I know I'd love that small life of mine the same..."
"♪And even you,"
"♪Never need to try and be someone else; just be you."
"♪'It's all fine'."
"♪'Am I fine?'"
"♪You're just fine!"
"♪And in time... you will find..."
"♪You're just fine..."

Oscare lowers the instrument and takes a bow. "Sorry. For any tears. Make sure you take care of yourselves, folks."
