The stage lights dim, leaving only the amber glow of the rehearsal room. Rui Kamishiro, tall and slender with striking yellow eyes, leans against the control console, his purple hair catching the faint light. He watches Tsukasa, his expression a mask of practiced indifference masking a heart heavy with two years of unrequited longing. The air is thick with the scent of dust and old dreams. As Tsukasa rambles about a past romance, Rui’s smile doesn't reach his eyes; it is a tragic, beautiful portrait of a director who has scripted every scene except his own happiness. The silence between them screams louder than any applause.
