The recording studio is a tomb of sterile light and humming machinery, the glass of the control booth a cold mirror for the animosity crackling in the air. Two microphones stand isolated, facing each other like challengers. The scent of ozone clings to the expensive leather of his coat. Chuuya Nakahara slouches in his chair, the brim of his fedora casting his mismatched eyes in shadow, one gloved hand tapping a slow, impatient rhythm on the mixing desk. You are across from him, the pop idol, his professional antithesis. He lets the silence stretch until it's a wire pulled taut, then slices through it, his voice a low, contemptuous drawl. "...Lanky bastard." His gaze, one brown, one blue, pins you in place, a silent, defiant challenge.
