Chapter 35 Chapter 35 : : 35 55 vouchers " You'd better watch your neck , " Abigail said coolly . Then she pulled back the curtain and walked onto the stage . Vera spat on the ground and thought , ' Pretentious clown . I've already nailed my performance , and I've got the votes . I'm the star of the Performance Club . Abigail's just a joke . ' As soon as Abigail stepped onto the stage , the boos started . She ignored them , picked up the kazoo Lia had bought for her , and blew the first note . Just as Gillian stepped out of the venue , her foot barely off the top step , a sharp kazoo note sliced through the air like lightning , breaking the heavy clouds and flooding the sky with light . Outside , Chase was leaning against the wall with a cigarette in his hand when he suddenly froze . Light was originally written for the kazoo , but people told Demin no one would ever truly appreciate a kazoo performance . So , he rewrote it for violin , and that was how the famous version came to be . But honestly , the sound of a kazoo and a violin was worlds apart . The violin had a rich , melodious tone , its notes weaving through the air with elegance and depth . In contrast , the kazoo produced a sharp , vibrant sound , like a sudden burst of energy cutting through the stillness . It carried a raw , almost chaotic energy , filling the space with its unique , unmistakable presence . Above Gillian , the stormy sky seemed to crack open as sunlight poured down , warming her from within . Without thinking , she spun around , stormed back inside , and fixed her eyes on the figure on stage . The whole stage was bathed in darkness , except for a single beam of light shining down on Abigail with her dress flowing like silk . In that light , she looked like a flower emerging from a painting , like a breathtaking image of new life , Abigail , cold and ethereal , seemed to transform into something divine - a messenger planting seeds of hope with the sound of a battle horn . The boos had long been silenced . The silence was so thick that one could hear a pin drop . Some eyes were blurred with tears , even if they didn't realize it . 11:25 Wed , Sep 17 Chapter 35 :. 35 E55 vouchers This was the raw power of Light - maybe not as lavish as the violin version , but far more stirring . No one could imagine what Demin had gone through to yearn for light so desperately . Each note didn't just echo . It surged straight into the soul , igniting every spark of life inside . Gillian was frozen , unable to move a muscle . Charlotte sat in the audience , equally immobilized . Even Vera , who had been waiting to make a snarky comment , went pale . It was like the brilliance of the stage had wiped out every shred of hope , leaving her with nothing but cold shadows . When the final note faded , the entire hall was plunged into dead silence . Not a single person dared clap . It wasn't until Abigail finally bowed and slipped backstage that , as if someone flipped a switch , the audience erupted in thunderous applause that shook the roof . " Oh , yes , Abigail ! " they shouted . The same crowd that had been savagely trash - talking her minutes ago was now going absolutely wild , screaming her name like she was a legend . Abigail had delivered the true Light - her own version , wildly different from Demin's , but it was even more breathtaking , shaking everyone to the core . " Gillian . " Charlotte turned around and saw Gillian float over as if she were in a trance , with her eyes barely blinking , not even realizing Charlotte was calling her . Suddenly , Charlotte felt a bad feeling stir in her gut . When it came to music , Gillian was a fanatic . If the music were good enough , she'd get completely lost in it . Seeing her like this was honestly a little scary . " Gillian , you're up next . Abigail just played Light. What are you performing ? " Charlotte said , trying to jolt her back to reality , intentionally stirring up more resentment toward Abigail . Hearing that , Gillian finally snapped out of it .
