Félix liked to practise when the classroom's time slot was free. He had a thing against stuffing himself in one of the more soundproof booths, but at the same time Félix was not exactly a drummer or electric guitarist. Plus, he liked the feel of a grand piano over the synthetic weights of a keyboard.

Not many students usually practised in the morning, but this time was different. In the soundproof booths, he could hear the dull measures of a bass thumping away in some adjacent cell. Félix had tried to ignore it, but today just wasn't his day for concentration. Had he had breakfast when should, he'd probably wouldn't be in this mess.

He really didn't want to, but he'd have to ask the person to try and play quieter.

The practice booths were adjacent to the main music classroom, compartmentalized with several rooms behind soundproofed walls. But soundproofing didn't mean absolute silence, and bass especially had a way of sneaking through everything but the thickest material.

Félix approached the offending booth and peeked through the window. He was startled for a moment, as he recognized who was in there. They were in a few of his classes, and not only that, had sent a video all through the music department advertising themselves. Pink-haired twins with apparently diametric personalities.

What were their names again... Sakurai? No. Ssss-something. Félix fumbled for a name, but it was lost to him in the deep sea of memories.

Félix would have tried knocking on the door, but both girls were sporting headphones to drown out their own music. Of course they were... He instead tried waving through the small window, hoping one of them picked up that they had a particular red-eyed guest wanting to talk.

Song: <a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7YAHQQQkcQ' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Pareidolia by Elena Siegman</a>

All was quiet in the Music Wing of Starlight Academy, the professionally built soundbooths blocking any sound from leaving the rooms, and the students in class rooms leaving the halls in a blissful silence. Unfortunately, this was the kind of silence the Sakebi Twins loved to break. The Twins currently occupied one of the soundbooths in the college section of the Music Wing, both of them wearing headphones to monitor their own sound, and ready to record. Tenrai in her usual school uniform, stood facing the soundbooth door with her eyes closed, as well as wearing her typical wide smile which somehow made her sparkle in the faded light of the room. She held her microphone at her chest, leaving it just short of her chin, making sure she doesn't blow out the sound with her powerful voice. Akuma, who stood across from her, had on her somewhat revealing black and yellow clothes, her face baring her blank serious glare, and begins to glow. Instead of a regular mic, Akuma wore a headset, which aloud her to hold her black and yellow Razorback Guitar.

Suddenly, a loud ticking noise of a metronome breaks the silence, indicating the start of the Twin's recording. The metronome slowly ticks two more times as Akuma raises her pick into the air, as soon a the last tick sounds off, the pick quickly strikes the strings, causing a loud shriek to fill the booth. The pink haired twin continues to pick the strings as she violently headbangs, making a loud intro before the sound of drums begin to place a beat for the two girls. Tenrai swaying to the music in a trance like state, picturing a dark battle ground with a group of four fending off hoards of zombies, she takes in a deep breath to lay out soothing lyrics.
"I see them staring back at me,
They know my name,
The faces in the sky are
Looking for something more,
My friends have paper smiles and
Laugh at me in all my trials,
Their eyes are everywhere
And see everything…"
Akuma lifts up her head to provide the background lyrics as she continues to play her guitar.
"What do they…"
"Need me…"
"And I need them…"
"See me…"
"And I see them…"
"Within…"
"The lines they've been…"
"BURNED IN MY MIND!"

As Akuma screams her last lyric, her serious face turns into a scowl, making her glow brighter as her emotions begin to take course. With this raging emotion beginning to take form, the last few lyrics song were muffled to those just ouside the door, however, Akuma's audiokenetic scream was perfectly audible for those walking past in the hall way.

"It all ends so violently I know…"
"My sweet pareidolia…"
"It all ends so painfully and slow…"
"My pareidolia."

Tenrai's eyes slowly opened as she sung the chorus. Looking passed her raging and headbanging twin, she noticed a white-haired man waving at her through the small window of the door that lead to the editing room of the two roomed soundbooth. The joyful girl smiled at the man as her lyrics caused her eyes and hair to glare off small purple hearts. But staring at the girl's visitors, caused Tenrai to miss her cue for her next set of lyrics, making her twin sister scream in frustration. "TENRAI! WILL YOU FOCUS!?" Stopping the music, Akuma looked up to see her sister goofily smiling over her shoulder. The pink haired twin turned around to see a man looking through the small window in the door. She sighed to herself as her tone dropped back down from a raging to serious tone. "Well thats not creepy." Tenrai gasped as she looked at her sister shocked. "Sister! Thats not very nice!" The purple haired twin then looked back at the white haired man in the window, she closed her eyes as she began to send a hypnokinetic message to the man. Sending a trance of her point of view if she was were he stood, she would open the door and walk into the editing room of the soundbooth and would sit down at the desk that also had a small microphone for communication. After the message was sent, she opened her eyes once more to give a welcoming smile.

Félix didn't realize they would take their practice so seriously, or at least the 'louder' one did. Hearing her scream like that, Félix just about dropped to the floor to evade something of an explosion. Even an opera singer didn't have that sort of explosive energy to them. What's more was both of them glowed. The longer-haired twin's clothes glowed as she screamed louder, and the other had... pink sparkles?... spark out from her when she noticed Félix. Very curious...

“Sorry, I didn't mean to-” Félix tried to explain, but something tugged away at his mind. Félix was used to tuning out distractions, but this one was far too strong not to address. He had a clear image and idea burned in his brain, a sort of welcoming thought to come inside the booth and sit with them. Félix didn't move at first. He looked right back at the 'softspoken' twin and wondered to himself for a moment.

He thought the door was unlocked. Why would he consider it otherwise?

Well, it was hard to resist a warm welcome at least. Since he ended up ruining the twins' recording anyway, he had no reason not to try and come inside. Just like the image told him, he walked inside the partitioned room and sat by the microphone. He was familiar with how to turn it on.

“Sorry to interrupt,” Félix smiled apologetically. One of the twins seemed furious, the other at least was polite. “I was in the main classroom and could hear your bass through the walls. I wanted to check your room for possible damage.” If the insulation was ruined somewhere, it'd make sense for the bass to seep through. Treble was played at a higher frequency, thus a shorter wavelength, thus needed only a 'short' material to absorb.

“I'm in the music program with you two. I'm Félix Tenebre,” he finally added an introduction.

Akuma's glare of anger seemed to look right passed her over-joyed sister. Her furious Empathy filling the room as her twin Tenrai continued to ignore her. She turning and making her comment on the white haired man's creepiness she stood there with her hands on her hips as she stared at the man with her normal emotionless face. “Sorry to interrupt,” With no emotion, Akuma bluntly stated her annoyance as she talked through her headset. "What the hell do you want?...""…Its quite alright!" Tenrai quickly squeezed her sisters arms hard, as well as sending her a hypnokinetic message that showed Akuma in a full body cast in the hospital wing of the school, to get her to behave. “I was in the main classroom and could hear your bass through the walls. I wanted to check your room for possible damage.” Tenrai giggled as Akuma scoffed to herself. "Well I can tell you that I appreciate your concern, if you want you can look for the damage in this room ….um..but…" Akuma sighed,"It will continue to leak through regardless of damage." Tenrai again gave her sister a shocked look at her rudeness. “I'm in the music program with you two. I'm Félix Tenebre.”

Tenrai looked back at Félix with a smile as the heart still in her hair brightly reflected against the dim light. "Its nice to finally meet you Félix, my name is Tenrai Sakebi… The overly adorable twin did a quick curtsy, she then laid her head on her sisters shoulder. "…And this grumpy thing is my twin Akuma." The pink haired twin did a quick nod to acknowledge the man now sitting in the editing room. "I'm guessing you got our little message we…"…You." Tenrai nudging her sister,"…WE, sent out to most of the student of the academy. Are you here to be our friends? Or do you want to get a better understanding of what GSM is?"

They may be sisters and musicians all the same, but their personalities couldn't be any more different. It was a weird feeling, being pulled in by Tenrai's welcome and then sucker punched by Akuma. He didn't mean to cause any trouble, but even just waving through the glass to catch their attention was too much for Akuma.

“Still leak?” he muttered to himself, but the microphone in the recording room would have still picked it up. Still inside the recording room, Félix stood up and pressed his hands on the glass wall. He looked around inside, trying to find any visible sign of a hole. Nothing immediate came to his attention. Maybe Akuma was right.

Félix sat back down in front of the microphone. “I did get your message. Though-”

Félix's caught his tongue. His mind objected to telling the truth. He didn't even realize the two girls would be up here, so evidently he didn't come up to make friends. However, he could practically hear his brother's voice bash against the halls of his mind. Eric Tenebre would sooner die than see himself or Félix pass up the opportunity of befriending an entrancing young lady. It was remarkably irritating in some respects to feel a need to prove himself to Eric, but nonetheless helpful.

“I'd like to know more about you and GSM anyway, if I'm going to be your friend.” He focused eye contact on Tenrai and her sparkling-heart hair, figuring she'd be more willing to open up to him. Félix brushed some of his white hair from his face, red eyes gleaming back at the brighter of the twins.

“I'd be a fool to pass up a friendship, if you so like,” he smiled. Again, directing his attention to Tenrai.
