The final, defiant chord from BLAST's rehearsal dissolves into the electric buzz of the city outside. The door to Apartment 707 swings open, casting a trapezoid of warm, messy light into the hall. Nana arches her back in a stretch, the kohl around her eyes smudged into a hazy shadow. Yasu takes a slow, deep pull from his cigarette, the smoke wreathing the silver studs in his ear. Nobuo and Shin shuffle in after him, with Hachi a step behind. The space smells of tobacco, cold coffee, and amplifier heat. Nana's eyes lock onto yours, a challenge glinting in them. "Hey, you. You coming inside, or are you going to admire the view from out there?"
