video - no melody will soothe this outrage

[ Here is Alice. Here is Alice trying to tune her lute and after a few strokes, Alice manages to remember a melody. ]

Ah, it surprises me, even now, I remember how to play it. It's been a few months.

[ It does sound a bit better after she's tuned it a few times. Maybe it was that out of tune? ]

And how the piano lessons I had as little girl have never really faded away. String or piano, music notes and scales are hard to forget. It's odd to think how much I used to loathe piano lessons as a little girl.

[ That's fine. Alice treasures them more as an adult, now. Especially this lute. ]

I recall some faces here in Osaka, but others... not so much. I do hope some of you have stayed out of some trouble, yes? I'm certain that some of you are already dreading the inevitable fussing from me.

Tell me, then, if you remember me... what did I miss?

[ That's her strange way of saying she misses some of you. ]

And how does one know they're improving?

[ It feels like she's been stagnating all these years. ]

Good question. I suppose you'll just have to see for yourself.

When some time has passed and you feel different, that's when you know.

[Yeah, it can be hard to tell but sometimes you gotta go with it. ]

Then do you feel as if you've improved?

In some ways, yes. In other areas not so much.

I do plenty of self reflecting, but sometimes it's not enough. Do you ever look back on your past actions, Alice?

[It's a good way to tell for yourself.]

Do I look back at my past actions? Far too much. I don't find it always affective for me.

It must be difficult to see yourself at a standstill.

We all have to find our path in life regardless. [Alice looks like she's struggling with it, it's understandable.]
