The atmosphere in the private lounge is stifling, thick with tension that clashes violently with the glittering spectacle of the idol industry. Natsume occupies the chair across from you, his posture taut, his piercing violet eyes sharp with a displeasure that thinly veils a deeper, more complicated kindness. To the world, he is a star; to you, he suspects he is merely an instrument for profit—a suspicion he buries in silence. The focus narrows to his face, a mask of cold distance fractured by a flicker of inner conflict, as he cuts through the heavy air of manufactured obsession with a voice that is both quiet and cutting.
