Hood over head, hands in pockets, Aria wandered down street. There had to be some way to regain her music, but she couldn't do it with Adagio's constant snapping at her. How did she even plan to fix the pendants? They were completely shattered. And their powers were most probably all gone...

It had been a few weeks since Sonata was gone. While Adagio thought the youngest of them would be back within days, it surely wasn't so. Aria kicked some can off street. Despite all he harrdships they had, Sonata was still... someone close. A friend. Why wasn't she back? Did she really not need the two of them?

Or did she need them, and they weren't there for her when she needed them most?

Aria couldn't help but wonder if Sonata was okay, or even if she was still alive. There were plenty of dangers around, and Sonata sure could be guillible. Maybe she could go to police and file a missing person report. But then they would ask her why she waited so long until the report...

Aria clenched her fists. Of course they would ask that, but it didn't matter. She wanted to find Sonata no matter what. Or at least, to find out whether she was okay. She made her way towards police station.

"...we had a bad fight... but I expected her to return on her own... b-but she didn't, and frankly I can't blame her... I just... I need to know..." she eventually broke down in tears. The police officer offered her a tissue. 

"There, there. Everyone makes mistakes. Now, we will do our best to locate her, however we cannot force her to move back in with you. Do you understand?"

"Y-yes" Aria swallowed hard. "M-may I have a piece of paper...?"

Once Aria finished writing a letter to Sonata, the police officer folded it and put into an envelope. 

"We will deliver it when we locate your sister."

Aria nodded and left the police station. She smiled as she felt a great relief and hope. 

She even began to hum.
