Music is a language that surpasses all barriers, communicating the mood of the player in a way that anyone can fully understand. It is reliable, sturdy, and understanding; it doesn't judge, it doesn't pester or prod. It can be your friend in the toughest of times, and can lift you up when you fall.

If there's one thing that Malakhai can rely on, it's that music will always be there for him when he needs it most. When he's sad, depressed, struggling, or angry; when he's calm, content, or even ecstatic, it is his rock, his stabiliser. No matter the circumstance, music is his ally and his friend, and he knows he can always pull out his violin and just let go, be free, and be carried away by the magic of the strings.

He rarely does it with an audience, however, but should you ever be lucky enough to hear him, it is because he trusts you with all his heart; it is because he considers you incredibly dear. He wishes nothing more than for you to join him on the journey, and to let the magic sound carry you along with him...
