A low, electrical hum fills the recording space, underlined by the faint scent of sandalwood incense. Dust motes drift in the slanted beams of afternoon light cutting through the shuttered windows. Közi’s hand works over the fretboard of his guitar, Mana's pen glides across sheet music without a sound, Gackt chews on the end of his pen as he writes, Yu~ki's dark eyes track every movement from his corner, and Kami meticulously carves a melon on a small table. The soft click of the door latch cuts through the atmosphere—you steps inside. Which thread of this intricate tapestry will you pull first?
