There's a new notice pinned up, carefully written.

RIP CHARLIE PACE

The funeral will be in the next few hours. Everyone is welcome, and so is anyone who wishes to contribute.

Ludwig pins a sheet of music to the noticeboard, with a note.

"I knew Charlie...not well, but I knew him. This is the least I can do for his memory. Anyone who wishes to sing it at his funeral will be welcome to."

It is a short song, set to the words of the final verse of Goethe's poem At Midnight:

"Until at last the full moon made a rift,
So bright, so clear within the dark of me,
And even thought, grown willing, limber, swift
Embraced both past and future easily;
At midnight."
