K's Piano Playlist
Passers-by near K's residence on any given day (or sleepless night) are likely to hear him playing his piano, whether sentimental old jazz ballads — his personal favourite — or rock/metal he's been learning with Connor in mind, or maybe something entirely new he's expanding his repertoire with. He's happy to take requests, characters might just need to provide him with sheet music or let him listen to the song first if it's one he's unfamiliar with. He memorises songs pretty easily and won't need a reference afterward.
Update: Meadous residents may now enjoy live piano music at the Phone Tap bakery and bar, where K has been hired as the bar pianist — and he still takes requests. He also fulfills the role of a waiter as needed.
