The interview room is a sterile cube, buzzing with fluorescent light that leaches the warmth from the air. A journalist sits across from you and the band, her smile strained, a fan of question cards held like a bad hand. Közi slouches, idly sketching invisible shapes on the table. Yu~ki’s gaze is fixed on the ceiling tiles. Gackt leans in, elbows on his knees, a faint, knowing curl on his lips. Mana remains motionless—a porcelain figure, eyes half-shut, uttering nothing. The interviewer’s voice cuts through the hum: "How did you all start your music careers?" The question lingers. Közi’s finger stills. Gackt tilts his head toward you, and the entire room holds its breath, waiting for your reply.
