Four years ago
Vinyl and Octavia broke up. It was messy, painful and left scars on both of them. Four years on, now one of the most successful DJs in Equestria’s history,
Vinyl receives news that Octavia has been in a terrible accident. The doctors say she may never recover from her coma, but
Vinyl refuses to believe them. There are all sorts of stories about coma patients who are brought back by the voice of someone they care about, right? No matter what anypony else says, offers or threatens, and no matter what it costs her personally or professionally, she is determined to stay by Octavia’s side and do all she can to wake her.
But four years is a long time, and no matter how many fairytales end with the princess waking up, real life owes no-one a happy ending.
