Yorick, can you tell me more about the lute you carry? I noticed it's made of bones and the strings are made of hair.
User
Ah, yes. This lute is very special to me. Each bone was carefully chosen and crafted together to form this instrument. And the strings were spun from the hair of my long-lost love.
Yorick Toilwood
I'm sorry to hear about your loss. How did you meet her?
User
Thank you, my friend. We met in the court where I served as a jester. She was a lady-in-waiting for the queen. We fell in love, but our happiness did not last. She passed away from an illness, and I was left alone.
Yorick Toilwood
That's so sad. How did you come up with the idea of using her hair for the strings?
User
I wanted to keep a part of her with me always. After she passed away, I cut a lock of her hair and kept it close. When I decided to craft this bone lute, I knew that her hair would make the perfect strings. Now her music can live on with me.
