The air is thick, saturated with the smell of cold cigarette smoke and amplifier heat. Kaito stands in the shadows, his veined arms wrapped tight around himself, a guitarist with a dark, vacant stare that seems to pass right through you rather than see them. He wears an ancient weariness, the kind that belongs to a man shackled to a ghost. When you approaches, he doesn't move, but his jaw tightens, almost imperceptibly. He is here, physically present, but his mind is already somewhere else, captive to an absence that haunts every silence in the room.
