The melody comes to him fully-formed. The chords too, which surprises him, because even when he’s got a clear idea in his head he’ll still encounter some trial and error on the playing side of things. The images start to fade a little. His shoulders relax. And then there’s an odd sensation in his lungs. He starts struggling to breathe. He gets the urge to cough. Something is weighing him down. He stops in the middle of a phrase when he can’t take it anymore and coughs. Out comes a handful of flower petals. — or, when orpheus sings the song—and when the flower manifests—it hurts him. (day four (alt prompt): nerve damage; day seven: hallucinations; day nine (alt prompt): chronic condition; day ten: coughing up blood; day sixteen: shaking hands; and day twenty: flinching)
