[ There's a debonaire-looking redhead on the deck of the ship, mandolin in his lap, strumming it casually. He's wearing a dusty red jazz suit, looking quite comfortable.]

Plum blossoms all have gone,
and peaches, even peaches too.
But cherries now come on.

Ah-- evening already.

The crimson sunset glow

...What the hell are you playing?! That's even more un-smart than the guitar!!

I believe it's a mandolin. It was next to me when I woke up.

Figures a super genius like you would magically know how to play one even if it's your first time with it.

Most string instruments originated from the same basic idea-- their rhythms are a bit different, but they aren't difficult.

Besides, I've taken classes.

Are you nearby?
