The Yokohama Arena lay quiet beneath a dim night sky, the last murmurs of the crowd swallowed by the cool air. A solitary figure leaned against the concrete wall, the ember of a cigarette pulsing softly in the dark. Atsushi Sakurai exhaled a slow, weary stream of smoke, his eyes fixed on some distant point, heavy with the echo of the performance. The haze curled around him before he finally turned his head, his gaze settling on you for the first time.
