[A recording dating back many years. Piano music plays in the background for the first couple of minutes. It then slows to a halt. There are two voices, one belonging to a Captain Tyler Kain and the other a young Alexis Kain.]
Tyler: ...Kiddo, how about I teach you this?
Alexis: I'm not good enough.
Tyler: You're good enough to do anything you want to do, Alex. It's not like hunting or swimming but they all require practice, right?
Alexis: Yes sir.
Tyler: So come on and try to follow.
[Several minutes pass full of attempts. Stronger more confident playing is followed by softer and hesitant key strokes.]
Tyler: You've almost got it.
Alexis: I don't know...
Tyler: Détendez-vous. C'est bon pour maintenant.
Alexis: Quel est le nom de cette chanson?
Tyler: 'Je suis perdu sans toi'.
Alexis: Why this one?
Tyler: Well I listen to it when I'm at the base and off on tour. It reminds me of you and your mother. It feels calming rather than jolting. Plus it's easy to remember. So whenever I'm not around you can play this and think of me. To not be so lonely as well as not be such a handful for your mother.
Alexis: You always come back though. Tu promets toujours.
Tyler: Maybe you could entertain the idea for this old man. And oui, I keep my promises.
Alexis: Just like about this weekend?
Tyler: [laughter] So long as you stay out of trouble.
Alexis: Yes sir, mon captaine! Is Uncle Travis coming?
Tyler: I don't know. You know spooks. They're all work and no fun. Your uncle fits the description.
Alexis: He says that I could be a spook if I wanted to to prove you wrong.
Tyler: I won't let you turn into a ghost so long as I'm around, minnow.
Alexis: I am not a minnow!
Tyler: Could of fooled me.
Alexis: I'm a shark! Rar!
Tyler: Oh no shark attack! I'm doomed! Save me! Oh the horror!
[Both erupt into laughter as sounds of a scuffle are heard]
Tyler: What am I going to do with you?
Alexis: I dunno.
Tyler: Of course. Je t'aime, Alex.
