Thank you so much for yet another beautiful story 🩷🖤 I especially love Anzu's debut in your fic 😆 She's such a charm and it's so adorable how she opens up to Hokuto immediately, like she can tell he's THE ONE 🤭

I've got a silly question. Is there any particular reason why you pick flute for Hokuto? Like, why not, say, violin, which is probably a more common instrument people might think of when it comes to classical music?

Hello anon! Thanks for reading (and for sending a question, I was starting to lose hope that people just don't wanna ask on anon here lol).

I really needed Anzu in the fic for Taiga to never lose that connection to Hokuto. As a dog owner, I can really feel that dogs know some things that humans don't, so Anzu's a reminder to Taiga that Hokuto will stay in his life.

As for the flute question, at first I just wanted a different instrument for Hokuto because I already have a pianist-violinist trope in my KyoJe socmed AU. Second, I think being a flutist suits Hokuto in this fic in terms of being sensitive to nuances (musical and otherwise) and preferring to be blending in the orchestra rather than being front and center.
