## Plot

Niccolo Tartini sits on his bed, imagining what it would like to be to play the violin. He imagines himself playing the violin. After some time, he sits on his couch bored when there is a knock on the door. He answers it and sees a mysterious individual leave. Niccolo looks down and sees a case on the floor. He takes it inside and opens it. Much to Niccolo's surprise there is a violin and thus he starts to play it, albiet badly. After some time, Niccolo has clearly improved his playing but there's still some notable work to be done. After some more time, Niccolo is seen playing near perfectly, however he is frustrated by this due to his need to play perfectly. Niccolo then hears a knock on the door. He answers it and it's the same mysterious figure from before who hands him a note before leaving. Niccolo looks at the note which reads "Need Help Call Dante 7231366605". A knock on the door is heard and another mysterious figure appears. This figure motions Niccolo to follow him, but not before forgetting to take the note he's written. Niccolo follows the figure and is introduced to Dante Angra. Dante asks to see the note which reads "All I want is to know how to play the violin perfectly". Dante smile as he burns the note and throws it into the water. Just then it becomes dark and Dante goes in to hug Niccolo. Niccolo is seemingly catatonic to the point where Dante has to sit him down on a nearby seat. Dante and Casper, the other mysterious figure, leave with Niccolo's violin as Niccolo has flashes of playing the violin perfectly.
