While music had never really been his thing because he just didn't have the talent for it, Peter liked listening to it well enough. He doubted that the institute would have a wide selection, but his real reason for choosing this room over all the others was because it was the only one connected to the Sun Room that he hadn't been to yet.

He could have gone to the courtyard or the recreational field, since he hadn't seen those either, but he could hazard a guess as to what those were like, whereas the Music Room had him curious. It seemed kind of random, actually. What was the point of it? Did they think the music was going to heal them, or soothe their souls, or something equally ridiculous?

Peter knew he couldn't try to explain anything about Landel's without hitting a brick wall, so he just decided to go see for himself. The room was emptier than he'd been expecting, but he realized that with all the patients allowed to go wherever they wanted (and some of them stuck with visitors), it made sense.

The first thing he noticed were the instruments to the left. Someone was already playing the keyboard, and while there were others still free, Peter wasn't going to torture the other patients by giving a blow on the recorder or anything like that.

The CDs were more interesting (not to mention less likely to lead to embarrassment), so he headed in that direction.
