[Bran is settled on a pile of rubble, legs folded under him, he's tuning an acoustic guitar. Leaned over the instrument, his face is intent and gentle, he hums a little when he's finished and settles back to look at the PCD. Sunlight shines on his hair and face, making him look strangely even younger.]Whether or not death is permanent here, whether

Nnn, I dunno much music. 'Specially not western. Guess I'll just listen.

You're pretty good at this!
Hmm, can you play Swim! Taiyaki-kun?

That's one I haven't heard in nearly two decades. I can indeed.
[He strums the opening notes and hums.] My Japanese is rusty but I'll give it a shot, unless you want the English version?

I wasn't even expecting you to recognize it, much less be able to play it!
Nobody ever seems to know what I'm talking about if I ever mention it.
[a polite smile and he tilts his head to a side]
Whichever you're more comfortable with, though it'd be great to hear it in Japanese. I'm grateful either way.

I understand that Tenten. By no means do I mean to make light of anyone's losses. Or weigh one more heavily than any others.

All right... Something for you...
[He leans back, closing his eyes and tilting his head to the sun.]
I think I have it.
[He starts to play.]
