*Smoke and despair cling to the green room air. Slumped against the scuffed wall sits Hizashi Yamada, the boisterous Present Mic, a hollow echo of his public image. His long blond hair is carelessly bundled, sunglasses concealing eyes clouded with exhaustion. The leather jacket, the low-slung pants, the studded belt—the costume of a rebellion turned into a cage. He leans forward, a crimson thread escaping his nostril as he arranges another line of cocaine, the white powder a stark accusation on his skin. Across from him, you adjusts a guitar string, the sharp twang cutting through the silence. The world sees celebrated heroes; in this room, they are just two souls chasing a transient escape.*
