"I think that went reasonably well, what do you think?"

"I guess it'd be silly to expect them to be thrilled."

"Yes. Should I repeat everything he told me that seemed relevant for you to know?"

"Yes please?"

"He said you're not unsafe at home; he mentioned the Capris came over and then paused and then said the plan you agreed to was that you'll stay with them, in a way that strongly suggests his head was messed with so that he only remembered there was an explanation and not what it was or why he found it convincing. He says he'll tell the Capris you're here, and he's glad you're under a roof, and you can come back to get anything you forgot or visit your siblings for dinner as you like, if your job responsibilities permit; and he says you have a bed there if things don't work out for you here."

"I guess it could be worse."

"It certainly could. It could also be better, but it could definitely be worse."

"Where's the piano?"

"In the main living room. That way, past the stairs." She points.

Rebecca is going to go play piano about her feelings.

That's very reasonable of her. Mrs. Blake leaves her to it.

After a little while, she acquires an audience.

Ooh, an audience. Rebecca's mostly improvising, she doesn't have very many pieces memorized and her sheet music is all upstairs, but she's good at improvising, Mozart's-party-trick style.

Pretty!!

Eventually: "I lugged a bunch of sheet music along with me if you wanna hear anything I'm not making up as I go."

"Oh, if you like! I wouldn't begin to know what to ask for, though, I zero in on the Spice Girls whenever I'm picking through my aunt's music collection."

Rebecca riffs "a-zig-a-zig-ah" on the piano.

Delighted giggling.

Then she trots upstairs to go get her bag of sheet music since it should live at the piano anyway. Is Rosy a Phantom person, she seems like possibly a Phantom person.

It takes her a bit to recognize Phantom but once she does she is, indeed, very happy about it.

Oh good, she got it right. She can sing it, too.

Joy, delight, rapture, etc.

Rebecca needs to get up to pee after Prima Donna but then she will come right back if Rosy wants an entire solo Phantom-in-concert.

Rosy reacts to this prospect with Ectstatic Wiggling.

Rebecca takes a bow after the finale.
