Totoka River annan water

Sae hadn’t noticed exactly how loud he had let his voice become. Had he realized that his voice was carrying so far, he would have stopped immediately. That was the consequence of getting lost in the melody, though. It was the consequence of getting lost in the song. If Sae didn’t want people to continue to creep up on him while he was singing, he would just have to give up singing. But music was a part of him and not something he could easily give up.
