We’re back at the Plumbob Studios, where the shooting of Melodies of the Ciy continues… 🎥🎬

Allan begins his sung piece with all the enthusiasm in the world.

Then suddenly on one of the high notes, his throat betrays him and…
Fabian: Oops, that wasn’t in the score, or is it some kind of special effect?

Allan: Obviously not. Darn, I’m sorry…
Imane: Al, do you need some water? Guys, a bottle of water for Allan, quickly!
Allan: Oh, no need, I’m fine, it was just a little slip.
Fabian: …

Allan: Can you play the music again?
Imane: Of course. Guys! Play that track again from the beginning.

Allan tries again, this time he’s not out of tune, but he’s so nervous and unfocused that halfway through the song he forgets the words and freezes on stage.
Imane: Allan? What is it now, hun?

I don’t know, I knew that song by heart, I’ve sung it in my sleep.
Imane: I know, you’re an excellent singer, dear, you’re just nervous, do you want to take a break? We have time.

Allan: Uh, no. I’ll I just – Can we start one more time from the beginning?
Imane: *A bit tired* Sure, honey. Guys…!

The shooting is over. Allan doesn’t feel good with his performance. In Imane’s words: ‘You’ll do better on the next one, darling’. IF there’s even a next one; neither The Treasures of Aarbyville nor Melodies of the City got Allan a Starlight Accolade Award nomination. Poor thing, until recently his career was skyrocketing, now he’s in a hole he can’t get out of. What could be going on?
Allan: *Sighs* Ah, if Keira would’ve been my co-star this wouldn’t have happened.
