      Does it say anywhere in the game that she's a player? I'm guessing she at least knows a bit about playing the violin but I don't have her and I'm going off of the opening cutscene and how accurate the animations look
      (Especially with the end note and her fingers, that's when I was sold on playing the game 😂)

    Thank you so much for performing my arrangement Ray Chen! I hope it was fun to play.
    Being a hobbyist, I love experimenting with variations in my arrangements. It adds a layer of excitement to the piece, transforming this song closer to a Vivaldi violin solo. Your performance truly captured the essence I aimed for!
