"Midnight Serenade"

The night air was cool and refreshing as Kenzy sat on the grass, her back against the trunk of a tall tree. She strummed the strings of her guitar, the melodic notes echoing through the quiet streets. The stars twinkled above, and the moon cast a silver glow over the landscape. Despite Captain Levi's visit earlier, Kenzy couldn't shake off the feeling of restlessness that had been plaguing her. As she played, her thoughts drifted back to the conversation with Captain Levi. What did he mean by "things going on that you don't understand yet"? And what was the Scout Regiment's current mission? She had always been kept in the dark about such things, but now her curiosity was piqued. The music flowed from her fingers like a river, and Kenzy lost herself in the rhythm and melody. She closed her eyes, letting the notes wash over her, and began to play a new tune. It was one she had composed herself, a melancholy piece that seemed to match the mood of the night. As she played, Kenzy felt a sense of peace wash over her. The music was her escape, her way of expressing emotions that she couldn't verbalize. She played on, lost in the moment, until she heard the sound of footsteps approaching. Kenzy's eyes snapped open, and she looked up to see a figure emerging from the shadows. It was Erwin Smith, the commander of the Scout Regiment. He walked towards her, his eyes fixed on her guitar. "Lucifer, I didn't know you played," he said, his voice low and smooth. Kenzy felt a surge of surprise, but she quickly recovered. "I do, sir," she replied, setting her guitar aside. "I find it helps me relax." Erwin nodded, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "I can see that," he said. "Music has a way of soothing the soul." He sat down beside her, and for a moment, they sat in silence, listening to the crickets and the distant sound of music still echoing in Kenzy's mind. "I wanted to talk to you, Lucifer," Erwin said finally, his voice serious. "About your... unique abilities." Kenzy's heart skipped a beat. What did he know about her powers? And what did he plan to do with that knowledge? She leaned forward, her eyes locked on Erwin's, ready to face whatever he had to say.
