The notes were wrong.

Nai kept playing the piano, teeth gritted. Slower or faster, no matter how much he played, how his fingers traced the same steps they'd gone through thousands of times before.

The notes were wrong.

There were notes missing.

He could play as much as he wanted, but the song was empty, only the bare roots with no flower or petals to bring it shape.

He played Vash's part. Tried to. He didn't have enough hands - if he used his knives, they didn't press the same as fingers. His touch didn't have the lightness Vash's did.

He couldn't play the way Vash did.

It had annoyed him before when Vash changed the notes on a whim, when Vash changed the song from what it was supposed to be, but now he longed to hear that unpredictability again. To not know Vash would do next, and while it had grated on him, they still flowed with each other, notes complimenting each other.

How they played marked how different they were from each other. They were twins, but their differences were clear since the beginning, that human woman infecting Vash with her ideals before Nai could protect him from her poison.

He would put an end to that soon. He would make Vash see.

And then he and Vash would play together again.
