When it came to music Juliet was a very good student. It was one of the few areas she'd studied hard and applied herself in growing up, being more interested in spending time in the water and on the beach than studying math, science or history.

"Only with a bit more control over it. It sounds like it can be a wonderful place." Hopefully they would rebuild from what must have been a truly devastating war. Unless a door opened to that world though, neither of them would be around to see it.
