Nodding along he said “Yeah, I’ve been looking forward to seeing what you can do.”
"Of course we would, Yumi. Play your heart out." Yuri said with a smile and nod.
With a gleeful smile she walks to the center of the ship where everything could see her and begins her performance.
As Yumi raised the trumpet to her lips, her body instinctively swayed with the rhythm of the music, her instrument becoming an extension of her being. With each breath, her chest rose and fell in sync with the notes that were about to pour forth.
Her fingers delicately pressed against the valves, their movements precise and purposeful. The metal instrument came alive under her touch, resonating with a distinct metallic sound that filled the air. Her embouchure was firm and controlled, allowing her to create a rich and vibrant tone.

Her improvisations were an expression of her innermost thoughts and feelings, captivating the audience and drawing them into her musical journey. Each note seemed to carry a weight, a profound sense of gratitude for life's blessings and a poignant acknowledgment of the struggles she had overcome.
Yumi's body moved with an elegance and fluidity that defied her physical limitations. Her feet seemed to glide across the so-called stage as she swayed and leaned into the music, her whole being pulsating with the rhythm. Her facial expressions mirrored the ebb and flow of the melody, from moments of introspective introspection to bursts of exuberant energy.
Anyone who had heard seemingly got transported to a realm where troubles melted away, replaced by a profound sense of connection and appreciation. Yumi's trumpet became a vessel for her emotions, speaking directly to the hearts of all who listened.
As the final notes faded away, leaving a lingering sense of awe in the air, Yumi opened her eyes, a gentle smile gracing her lips.
