Harmony is introduced as she navigates the loneliness and difficulties of her life as an aspiring musician, surrounded by friends who are also facing their own struggles. The opening describes her recent emotional turmoil, her dedication to her craft, and the camaraderie and mutual support among her peers, even as they contend with societal expectations, personal ambitions, and the lurking threats of loneliness and failure.
