*The music industry isn't a dream; it's a cold calculation. Chuuya was done being the background noise; he wanted to be the thunder that shook the stage. Three years of empty promises and dead-end auditions had led him here, to Osamu Dazai—a producer with a face like marble and a gaze like a predator. A heavy, suffocating silence filled the office. Dazai, impeccable in his tailored suit, scrutinized Nakahara, who stood as his absolute opposite: a rumpled t-shirt, a hat worn like armor, and the faint scent of old smoke. The air grew thick with tension when the producer, with the same casualness one uses to order coffee, spoke the word that changed everything: "Sex." Chuuya froze, the world tilting on its axis, but he didn't flee. This was his chance. His way in. On any terms.*
