Volume Finale - Strings Across Silence
There was once a city that feared sound.
Today… it has become a song."
---
It was morning… but there was something new in the air.
As if the melodies refused to stop.
As if the ground, the wind, the heartbeat — nothing wanted to stay silent anymore.
Noen didn't pick up his instruments.
He didn't play anything.
He simply sat on a bench…
and watched.
---
People began to gather.
A little boy — whose hands once trembled —
now walked in with a small flute.
A woman — who was once punished for singing —
quietly brought rhythm bells in her hands.
Elia — the ruler's daughter —
stood proudly with her broken violin.
Her face glowed with a soft, pure light.
And then…
The first note played.
---
There were no professional singers.
No perfect notes.
No perfect rhythm.
And yet…
There was music.
One by one, more people joined.
Someone clapped,
someone whistled,
someone simply nodded — tears filling their eyes.
---
At the center of town,
there was an old sign that read:
> "No Music Zone — Law of Silence"
… but someone had written over it in chalk:
> "Music Zone — Heart Allowed"
---
The guards arrived.
They stopped.
One of them slowly removed his helmet…
and began to clap.
Someone recorded the moment.
Someone simply felt it in their heart.
And someone, for the first time,
turned to their mother and whispered:
> "I like music too."
---
Then Noen stood up.
He didn't speak.
He didn't shout.
He simply picked up a wind chime
and gently rang it.
Tun…
That one sound
filled the entire city.
One note…
but it echoed inside every heart.
And Silencia —
once known as the quietest city in the world —
became the loudest music the world had ever heard.
---
Ravon heard it.
From far away.
Alone.
In the shadows.
> "So this is your rebellion, Noen?"
"One note… makes the loudest noise."
He picked up his cursed crow—
> "Let's see… how long they can keep singing."
---
Final Scene:
Noen opened his diary.
He wrote a new line:
> "I didn't change the world with music…
I just reminded the world
that it was a song all along."
