At first, the boy isn't sure if the piano is real. He didn't see it the last time he was here, but the bar itself pops up in random places; why should the things inside it be any different?

After running his gently bruised fingers across the housing to ensure the instrument is actually tangible, he seats himself at the bench and tries to coax Chopin's Nocturne in E flat major, Op.9 No.2 out of the keys. Soon, he's captive to the process. Every missed note compels him to start over--though those are rare--and the last section, he can't play hardly at all.

Still, the familiarity is a good anchor.

The last few days have been absolute hell. Everyone in the house narrowly avoided being evicted (and only even heard about it from one another, or the estate agent showing the house), his miniature schnauzer ran away, his girlfriend moved to Seattle, he nearly lost his best friend over said girlfriend, and his flatmate walked out on him. But things are fine now! Marsha's keeping the house, Colin came back, Sophie's agreed to give this long-distance relationship a try, Mike's not mad at him any more, and Daisy came back home. But clearly, the stress and exhaustion of it all has rather taken its toll if he's hallucinating this vividly. He'd just gone out to take the dog for a walk, and now he's come home to find the house turned into a very strange bar.

"...What?"

"Ruff," Colin agrees.

The day after this:

A novelty, a revolution, a catastrophe had just taken place in the depths of his being...
Javert was undergoing horrible suffering.
