It's not Taki's comfortable rhythm, but she always has been inclined to just go with the flow, and so her playing becomes more rigid in turn, becoming less expressive, less natural. Her tiny voice starts to falter, and just as she takes a breath to continue, her hand slips and she hits a shrill discordant note before her pick falls to the floor with a small clatter. She seems to freeze on the spot, so taken aback that she doesn’t know what to do it stare down at her guitar.
