Twelve knocks on the glass
Like a clock striking midnight. Pi opens the window and slides a stop: every bone has a note. The skeleton starts dancing to it. Then the wind blows it apart. So Pi builds it back, longest bone to shortest, upside down, into a xylophone. One last glissando down the ribs. Then the skull has something to say.
Music: after Saint-Saëns, Danse Macabre (1874, public domain), loosely adapted.
