The Universe's Pianist

In the silent symphony of the cosmos, Aethel sat at his grand piano. He was but a whisper of form, woven from starlight and the echoes of forgotten melodies. The golden threads that streamed from his being were the very notes he played, weaving through nebulae and dancing with distant suns. His music wasn't heard by ears, but felt by the fabric of space itself, a cosmic lullaby or a celestial crescendo. He played not for applause, but because the universe demanded a soundtrack, and his spectral fingers were the only ones capable of composing its infinite score.
