From the time she could remember, Sona knew that she was different from other children.
When the nuns in the convent distributed sugar cane bought in the village, the other children would laugh. She wanted to laugh too, but when she opened her mouth, no sound came out. At that time, she was a freak among her peers, and no one else
Will play with her,
If Mammy wants the children in the convent to be divided into two groups to play games, she will be in the other group, and she will often face strange looks from the other group, or a few suppressed chuckles.
Other children would burst into tears when being scolded by their grandma for being naughty, but she never knew what it felt like to cry, not only because she never made her grandma angry, but also because she didn't want to experience crying.
.
Sona didn't dare to bet whether she would cry, so she was the most well-behaved child in the convent.
Not being able to laugh has already made her an outlier. If she can't even cry, she is afraid that she will lose her last warmth.
This warmth comes from the old nanny who adopted her. This patient warmth not only preserved her beauty, which is coveted by many people, but also taught her what love is.
How to love and how to be loved.
Then she understood that a gentle smile is a good medicine to heal people's hearts. She doesn't need to speak, cry, or laugh, and others can recognize her and love her.
In her mother's selfless love, she gradually gained the love of her peers. I don't know when she started to become the most popular child in the monastery. Even the most unruly and naughty boys were by her side.
Will do their best to show courtesy and gentleness,
It’s not because of anything else, it’s just because she loves everyone equally. Whether they are sad or happy, or they have little secrets that they want to tell but dare not tell, the children in the monastery will come to her to talk to them as soon as possible.
At this time, her sad "muteness" became a favorite thing about her.
As grandma said, treat the world with kindness and the world will smile back.
She was already content to have such a life, but God was especially kind to her. On the night when her grandma retrieved Luo Hua for her from someone else's hands, she heard the sound for the first time in her tender eyes.
The only companion who accompanied him to the monastery.
The strings that others could not pluck seemed to have souls in her hands. For the first time in her life, she had a way of speaking other than smiling - when her fingers plucked the strings of the piano, she could feel her own
Thoughts and emotions are integrated into the sound of the piano.
She experienced laughing loudly for the first time, and understood the feeling of crying loudly for the first time. During that night, grandma and the children hiding outside the room heard her voice hidden among the strings.
, laughed with her, and cried with her.
She played the stringed instrument that no one could play, and she used her notes to prove why her father or mother had thrown her at the door of the monastery with her - only she could play the string instrument, and it had never belonged to her.
Everyone, from beginning to end, only belongs to her.
Because of this, no one in the monastery would try to take away Luo Hua in the name of "borrowing". Luo Hua, who never left her body, naturally became her main way to express her emotions.
She found a more endearing way to communicate than smiling and listening, and that was playing a tune, and her tune became the most popular musical instrument in the province of Larin.
Sona originally thought that she would grow up slowly in the monastery until she took over the mantle of her grandma and became a new nun, healing more people with her music. However, a sudden disaster happened because of her and affected many people.
Arrive at the monastery.
Mammy told her that there were very, very bad people who wanted to take her away. Mammy only had time to tell her to stay away from the 'Navoli Brotherhood' before she and the other children were sent to Demacia.
Boat.
They had been together day and night for seven years. When they were leaving, she couldn't even give her nanny a farewell hug, let alone whether her nanny in the monastery was safe. During the days on the ship, she didn't touch Kuo Hua because she didn't know
How to use words to express your emotions.
After crossing the ocean and arriving in Demacia, under the arrangement of the Order of the Illuminator, she said goodbye to the other children and met the adoptive parents of the Bouvier family.
She once again found a warm home with the love her mother-in-law taught her. Her sister Kashina regarded her as her own sister, her godmother Lestara cared for her in every possible way, and her godfather Barrett responded to her every request.
She fell into a wealthy life that was unimaginable in Ionia. Although she was wealthy, she was content with the status quo and never thought of anything wrong.
In addition to having some memories of the monastery and her aunt, Sona has already fallen in love with this distant and beautiful country. Although the solemn white stones are not as good as the maple trees in front of the monastery, the people here are as knowledgeable as the Ionians.
what is love.
She thought she could grow up safely in a new family and bring joy and happiness to the people of Demacia with her craftsmanship...
She thought this time would be different from before.
But fate left her with nothing again.
She is mute. She needs to work countless times harder than ordinary people to gain recognition from others. Living in this world, she is very tired.
From the time she was sensible, she tried her best to bring laughter to others, but she couldn't laugh herself. She just wanted to cry, but she didn't dare to cry.
The night she got Kuo Hua was the first time she cried with the sound of the piano. From then on, she didn't even cry the day she left her grandma. She didn't want others to cry with her, so she could only laugh.
She is already very strong, very strong...
"Da da..."
Tears fell down the cheeks, and the first note from Juehua sounded with the unpredictable fate.
Before the lingering sound was over, the green fingertips that followed immediately plucked the second string, and the tone dropped by half a beat, like an old man going down the mountain alone at sunset and returning to an empty old house.
"Boom..."
The third note and the fourth note came one after another. Sona didn't know what she was playing. She just recalled her grandma's gentle smile, recalled her life in Bouvier's adoptive father's house, and recalled the night she left the convent.
, recalling the laughter and laughter of the past.
As I thought about it, tears just flowed down my face.
For the first time in her life, someone told her that she wanted to cry. Thanks to that person, she was finally able to cry loudly.
It doesn't need to resonate with magic. The string instrument itself is an extremely complex and perfect stringed instrument. Its broad range is enough for the string instrument to play most songs. As long as a musician who is proficient in string instruments has the intention to play the string instrument, it will not be a problem.
,
And Sona is the only one in this world who can play touching notes with string instruments without knowing anything about string instruments.
The difference between geniuses and mortals does not lie in the degree of effort, but in the fact that mortals need to start from scratch, while geniuses have already reached the peak when they see the bottom of the mountain.
Perhaps a long time ago, or perhaps it was just beginning, there were more and more sobs in the palace banquet. The men gritted their teeth and closed their eyes and cried silently, while the women covered their mouths with handkerchiefs and cried.
Except for the dead, there is no real heart of stone. Even the Monkey King who jumped out of the cracks of the stone will never forget the Patriarch Bodhi.
Who knows how much sadness lies behind the beautiful scenery? How many grievances have been suffered by the strong man who smiled and said the words "I'm fine"?
No matter how strong a person is, there will be moments when he wants to cry. The reason for hiding weakness is often very simple. When the person who loves him leaves this world, no matter how many tears he sheds, no one will feel sad.
Since crying cannot be comforted, there is no point in crying. In the eyes of some people, tears are the most precious thing in the world, while in the eyes of others, they are just a laughing stock.
At this moment, Luo Hua under Sona's fingertips gave all the audience present a reason to cry and a voice that soothed their hearts.
The improvised music has no name, but the listener can see his own past.
That is [Love and Loss].
In the sound of Sona's piano, Lester put on a mask that he shouldn't have worn, including Jarvan III, Syndra, Misha and other extraordinary people. Everyone lowered their heads and covered their faces, immersed in their own sorrow.
Among them, only Sona raised her head with tears in her eyes and saw something that even the cold mask couldn't hide.
At this moment, Sona felt that she had arrived in a dark and dead cemetery. In the forest of countless cold tombstones, a young boy hugged his legs and sat next to an unnamed tombstone, his face
Buried in his thigh, motionless.
She didn't know what happened to herself, but Sona knew that she could always do something when others were sad.
"You're the same as me, you want to cry but you can't, right??
Facing Sona's ethereal and gentle voice, the boy seemed to tremble, but upon closer inspection, there was no reaction.
Sona stepped to the boy's side and gently hugged the side of the boy's face with her small hands. Without much effort, Sona held the boy's dull face and said softly.
"Your sadness is buried too deep. It makes me feel suffocated and I'm scared."
Finally, the dead boy reacted and gently held Sona's hand on his cheek, but his voice was hollow.
"Don't be afraid, as long as I'm alive, I won't let anyone hurt you."
Sona was stunned for a moment, and then the smile on her face became gentler.
"I believe you, can you... tell me the story here? Why... are there so many tombstones?"
The boy stood up and pointed numbly at the tombstone beside him.
"I have forgotten her name. I only remember that she was my best friend and partner. I had to kill her in order to survive."
Sona was silent, she could not recognize the words on the tombstone, but she knew that there was a name on the tombstone.
Then, the boy pointed to another tombstone.
"I have forgotten his name. He slept on my upper bunk. He was my perfect partner during training. He rushed towards me with a fruit knife and I had to kill him."
The second tombstone still had a name, but the boy said he had forgotten it.
Then we came to the third tombstone.
"She is my instructor, my most respected and beloved teacher. She taught me how to kill people and how not to be killed.
She took away my first time, lingered with me for a long time, and made me a real man. But I couldn't protect her. I could only watch her die in my arms because of me. She let me
Survive at all costs, but I couldn't do it, I'm a coward."
In Sona's sight, there was a tear in the corner of the boy's eyes.
"Who is buried on that tombstone?"
Sona pointed to the blank tombstone that the boy leaned on at first. It seemed to be the only unnamed tombstone in the cemetery.
"Her name is Elena. In order to silence her, I had to kill her parents and all her relatives with my own hands.
She didn't know that I did all this at first, and the organization took her in. When she was able to perform her tasks, the organization handed her over to me and asked me to take her. I knew this was the organization's surveillance of me.
Maybe it was out of debt that I didn’t refuse,
I tried my best to teach her and give her all the love. I even allowed her to spend her training time playing video games and played boring video games with her.
She really fell in love with me, and I fell in love with her, but I was afraid that she would lose her mind once she got love, like my teacher and I, and eventually die, so I kept rejecting her,
Later, the organization told her the truth of the matter. She knew that I had killed her relatives. Perhaps because I was still unwilling to accept her, she betrayed me in despair.
I know she betrayed me, I know I know too much, and my death is coming, but I don’t regret it.
My hands are full of the blood of innocent people. I die without mercy. I only feel sorry for her. In the first half of my life, I destroyed her happy home. In the second half of my life, I failed to give her a happy home.
I am a hypocritical sinner who can't forgive myself even though I have killed so many people."
The boy's dull expression remained unchanged, but the tears on his face could not be stopped.
Sona did not speak, but gently opened her arms to hug the boy in front of her who was slightly taller than herself.
Now she has no love and no need for love.
When Sona was silent, the boy who stood stiffly like a puppet suddenly spoke.
"If I promised to protect you but I failed to protect you, would you hate me?"
Sona shook her head and whispered softly in the boy's ear.
"No, because I know you have done your best."
The boy's body trembled.
"If I love you so much that I can't help myself, but I have to keep a distance from you because I love you, will you hate me?"
Sona was stunned for a moment, and her gentle face turned serious.
"Yes, I will hate you forever, because the distance you keep from me prevents me from loving you more. Grandma said that love is giving and taking from each other, not one person's wishful thinking."
"So... I was wrong?"
"Well, you were wrong."
"Yes, I'm sorry, I was wrong, can you forgive me?"
"Well...if you can love me as you say, then I will forgive you."
