"Signorina Melody!" her teacher called, calling the lonely girl's attention.
"Yes, Madonna Lucia?" wondered the brunette, fidgeting nervously a little under the strict gaze of the instructor.
"This letter came in for you, it holds a proposal from a school in Japan." Stated the adult woman. "If you decide to accept it, warn me in up to 2 days-time so that things may be taken care of!"
"Yes, Madonna!"

That night, before going to bed, she opened the letter… It was from no other than Shining Saotome himself, he was asking her if she wouldn't like to join the courses in his music Academy.
In all honesty, she missed Japan dearly; especially her friends and family, as she was never truly able to get integrated in the new country…
As hours ran by and silence increased, Melody laid down upon the aqua coloured covers of her soft bed; as her eyes closed, flashes from the past took over her sight, lulling her into a deep and peaceful sleep.
On the following morning, before people could even begin waking up, Melody ran in her nightgown to the principal's office, Madonna Lucia's office to be more exact. In a rush, she threw the door opened, causing the older woman to raise her gaze from her paperwork up to the newcomer.
"What do you wish, signorina?" sighed the adult, raising an eyebrow at the odd behaviour of the usually shy student.
"Madonna, I wish to attend Saotome Academy in Japan!"
"Very well."

The following two days were the longest days of her entire life; she simply could not wait to go back, to see her cousin Aine, to see Reiji whom she had missed so dearly and her mind refused to forget.
At midday during the second day, she finally left; she stepped away from the dance academy and closer to the airport, where a new yet familiar life would be waiting for her, or so she hopped…
With a final thought, she abandoned Italy:
'Wait for me, Reiji, Aine, I'm returning to you at last!'
