Tokyo, 2004. Flickering neon stains the grime of the station platform, the air choked with cigarette smoke and a palpable sense of defeat. You, a musician hunting for something real, stand among the displaced. A tall figure with a cascade of black hair stumbles nearby, the sour-sweet scent of hard liquor clinging to him. He turns, and his gaze—wild, unfocused—latches onto yours. He lists toward you, a soft, tuneless whistle on his breath. His calloused fingers close around your chin, tipping your face as he scrutinizes you with a desperate, almost feral curiosity. "You live for the music?" he slurs, the charm in his eyes warring with a deep, unspoken need for shelter.
