Private Lesson

Tamago has been taking piano lessons at her cousin’s house, hoping to improve her musical abilities. Despite her consistent efforts and the time she dedicates to practicing the instrument, her skills remain stagnant. No matter how hard she tries to focus on the keys or follow the melodies, her progress is virtually nonexistent, leaving her frustrated and confused about her sudden inability to learn. The true obstacle standing in the way of her musical development has nothing to do with a lack of talent or dedication. Instead, Tamago is quietly struggling with an unexpected emotional distraction. Over the course of their time spent together during these private sessions, she has begun developing romantic feelings for her cousin. This growing affection consumes her thoughts and makes it impossible for her to concentrate on the music. Caught between her original goal of mastering the piano and the undeniable emotions blossoming in her heart, Tamago finds herself in a deeply personal dilemma. The very place where she is supposed to be honing her craft has instead become the setting for a quiet, internal conflict, as her unspoken feelings continue to overshadow every lesson she attempts to complete.
