Wait…didn't Lyra use music to manipulate Sonia? Then that means I have to follow the sounds of music.
I close my eyes and listen.
All sorts of sounds…but there's only one style that Lyra has, and it's far away…
I open my eyes and zoom through the wave roads, following where I heard the sound.
Yes…she's nearby! I can sense her now! More than ever!
I turn right and find someone merely practicing on a makeshift stage.
It's a young girl, around Layla's age, with long auburn hair and a smirk on her face.
I go closer, nearly worried about whether my instinct was wrong.
The girl stops playing and shakes her guitar, saying, "Lyra-chan! I need you to work your powers when I'm practicing too!"
"All right, Lee-sama," Lyra's voice says feebly from the guitar, "Give me a moment-"
"Lyra-chan!" Lee-sama says, "No breaks! My manager doesn't give me any, so why should I give you any?"
"Lee-sama," Lyra's voice says, "I was meaning that my power is beginning to flow. You may play now."
"Thank you, Lyra-chan," Lee-sama says, "My concert is tonight, so we need to practice all day!"
Lee-sama begins to play, but the tune isn't what I'd call a melody.
Is Lyra losing her powers? Or else…is Lee a descendant of Sonia?
After a moment, Lee says, "Lyra-chan! What's going on?"
"Lee-sama, I need to rest if my powers are going to be at their best," Lyra's voice says.
"Liar!" Lee says, shaking the guitar again, "You just don't think I'll live up to Sonia's expectations, do you? Or my mother's?"
I sigh and fly over to the guitar.
"Lyra!" I say.
"Lee-sama, one second," Lyra says, and before Lee can say anything, Lyra pulses out of the guitar and appears next to me.
"Omega-Xis!" Lyra says, "What is it?"
I tell her everything about Geo's death to stop Andromeda.
Lyra nods then turns towards Lee.
"Lee Furukoni is a direct descendant of Sonia," Lyra says, "but her talent isn't as developed. Sonia's last wish was that I help her descendants like I helped her until you return with answers."
"That's why you're stuck with her?" I ask, "She's a snob. There's someone who's totally better than Lee is, and she's with my partner."
Lyra's eyes widen as she says, "You found a new partner? Your waves virtually disappeared when you left, and I was wondering where you were."
"I was trying to hide the Andromeda Key," I say, "I guess it worked."
"Where's the Key now?" Lyra says, "Do you have it with you?"
"Nope," I say, shaking my head, "my partner has it."
"You're crazy!" Lyra says.
"I'm not crazy," I say, "I trust my partner. You coming, or are you staying here?"
