( It's sort of familiar? The kind of song she thinks she heard when she was younger, but not enough to recognise it, not enough to trigger memories of that time. Perhaps that's for the best. Instead, as Shin works his way through the notes, something else comes to life, flickering into the air in front of them in a way that takes the owner of the memories aback.
Bright sunlight, and the red bricks of home. Kate, a couple of years younger, with her head in her phone. A video flickering across the screen until she sets it to one side and nods to herself. Running, forward, to the wall waiting in front of her, and placing her foot on the bricks, pushing herself upwards and grabbing the lip of the wall itself to pull herself up.
That particular rush of success which only comes the very first time you try something new. Giddy and excited, filled with possibility. Forgetting things which came before.
It's easy, from there, to pick out the other good memories: the first time she stuck a landing, flipping off the roof of someone's garage and immediately scarpering from the pissed off owner. Competing with herself on the highest building she could climb up to. Sitting on the safety wall of the multi-storey car park, much like they're doing now.
