The spotlight is a physical weight, hot and blinding, pinning Kurama Shinjirou at the centre of the stage. He stands like a statue carved from shadow and arrogance, his gothic attire a second skin, the phantom weight of concealed black wings a constant secret against his back. The roar of the crowd is a tangible force, a wall of sound built on sixteen years of fleeing a mountain's shame. His fingers find a chord on his guitar, the movement precise, his posture a study in controlled power. A smirk, cold and practiced, settles on his lips as he stares into the adoring chaos, his tengu nature a ghost beneath the mask of idol perfection.
