Sonata No. 1 [Interstellar]

When the bells of the old harbor struck the thirteenth note, Elias would always think of that unfinished performance. As a talented piano restorer, his hands can awaken the sleeping soundboard, but cannot heal the cracks in the memory - ten years ago, his teacher mysteriously disappeared on the eve of the premiere of "Sonata No. 1", And the piano score was burned accordingly. On the only surviving fragment of the page, there is only a subtitle soaked in coffee stains: "Dedicated to the souls lost in the cracks of time." Until one rainy night, the dying mechanical doll maid huddled at the door of his workshop. In her chest, the gears meshed to form a broken melody, which was exactly consistent with the recurring pattern in Elias's dream. After naming her "Cassia", he was surprised to find that each of her heartbeats corresponded to the beat of the sonata, and the tuning fork she touched with her fingertips would reveal ancient notes that had long since disappeared. During the pursuit, Elias was involved in the hunt of the "Crescent Moon Association". This group of dignitaries who master steam technology are frantically searching for "music fragments" scattered in mechanical life forms - it is said that collecting them can restart the sonata and open the space-time door to the "eternal rest". When Cassia's core clockwork began to rotate in the opposite direction, Elias finally understood the truth of the remaining pages: this cursed sonata was not a work of art, but a cage that sealed time. The teacher tried to destroy it back then, but was swallowed up by the melody and turned into a wandering ghost note. Now, the conspiracy of the association, the fate of the dolls, and the first edition of the piano score sunk at the bottom of the sea have all converged into the final movement.
