"How can you tell a person what you feel about that person if you can't muster any strength to swallow your pride just to say what you want to say?"

That was the question Vin Santos kept asking himself. Still he wasn’t sure on how to do that. He never experienced that feeling before. Since that start of high school, he always got caught up in different criminal cases. But on the last year of high school, things would change. 

He never thought he'd be off track. He can't sing when he want to. He became deaf and is now having a hard time following the beat. The tunes and lyrics are now disconnected. He can't remember the songs he sung, and he realized “I’ve lost my music”.

Lost My Music

"Oh, hey Riley. I'm, uh… just trying to study ciphers and old methods of cryptography.

"I don't know, I just find them so fascinating."

"And where do you intend to use that?"

"I don't know… maybe someday I'll come across with some puzzles from the past or something like that."

"Why not study modern cryptography? It's more useful than the old one."

"I kinda hate math and some of the modern cryptography involves algorithms and math."

"So what kind of cipher are you studying?"

"Just the basic stuff, Caesar cipher, ROT13, pigpen cipher, templar cipher, morse code, vigenère cipher, and Ottendorf cipher."

"I only knew the morse code, I never knew there is much more than that."

"That's fine if you don't want to."
