Color-Shifting Emotional Expression Instrument
A small, circular musical instrument that visibly shifts colors in response to different sounds produced. Crafted to channel and externalize emotional states through its mutable hues and haunting melodies, it is delicate yet responsive. Katie awkwardly holds it under Melian's patient guidance in a sparse music room, tentatively coaxing somber tones that evoke a melancholic atmosphere. The instrument's changing colors and sound patterns act as a direct conduit for Katie's internal emotional landscape, making her vulnerability palpable and tangible in the intimate setting.
