Julian lowers his instrument, sighing a little. He looks up into the branches up the tree he's sitting under, where Frederick is lounging and looking down at him, swinging his purple top hat in the night breeze.

Julian leans back against the tree, holding his flute in his lap. It's silent for a while before he brings it up to his lips again, and continues to play the song that he can't quite seem to get off of his mind, even as it fades from his memory with every passing note.
