[Line Art] The Piano Teacher (Patreon)

She was an instructor who ran a small, quiet piano studio all by herself, a place where she spent her days guiding students through their scales and sonatas.

One evening, just as the last lesson had ended and she was preparing to head home for the night, a man walked into the studio.

"I’ve been thinking about learning the piano," he told her. "I played a bit when I was a child. Would it be alright if I tried a few keys now?"

Without a second thought, she kindly led him into one of the small, private practice rooms. But the man hadn't come for the music. He was a shadow who had been watching her from afar, nursing a dark, obsessive plan.

And in that soundproof room—a space designed to keep sound from escaping—he had finally found the perfect stage.
