Orpheus had kept his wife to himself for as long as practical, and though she'd offered to bring him to her classes (and though it was incredibly difficult to let her out of his sight), he only waited for her outside. Eventually, he even leaves her at the door and goes about his day, mostly as usual.

On one such day, Orpheus is on his way back from busking when something catches his eye in the window of a pawn shop.

When he gets back to her flat, he has his guitar over one shoulder, a bag of Indian takeaway in one hand, and a slightly-battered tuba case in the other. He knocks on the door with the tuba case.
