Milana glanced at the clock. It was 02:13, the same hour when the original Redline session had ended decades ago. The studio’s old analog clock on the wall ticked in solemn rhythm, each second echoing the heartbeat of the hidden movement.
She’d found it that morning, tucked between a cracked leather‑bound diary of a Soviet poet and a rusted reel of Soviet‑era propaganda. The file was simply named —a mouthful that sounded more like a cryptic instruction than a title. The “.txt” extension was the only thing anchoring it to the present; the rest of the name felt like a breadcrumb trail left by a ghost who wanted to be heard.

One entry, dated , detailed a night when a mysterious courier delivered a “redline” —a set of heavily edited scores that had been smuggled from Leningrad. The courier left the scores on a windowsill, tucked inside a tin of jam, with a single word written on the label: “Milana.” The file claimed that the courier was none other than a teenage boy named Pavel , who would later become the studio’s chief engineer.

Milana’s fingers hovered over the keyboard. She’d spent years curating the studio’s analog relics, but this was a digital relic—a text file that had never been opened, its contents sealed by an unknown redline. She remembered the old practice of “redlining” a document: a way to mark revisions, deletions, and emphatic comments. In the Soviet era, a redline could be a literal scar on a piece of paper—a warning that the content had been censored or altered.

I chose CAE to complete my ground school as I have sometimes struggled academically and felt that, to give myself the best chance, I should go to the best school. I haven't been disappointed. All of the instructors were excellent and were always happy to help me…I genuinely think that I would have done considerably less well in my exams if it hadn't been for CAE instructors. I could not speak more highly of them and would, and will, thoroughly recommend CAE as the best school.
