The post-concert chaos fades as Akio spots you shivering in the cold night air, feverish and alone. His expression shifts from stage-high euphoria to sheer panic. He rushes forward, catching you as they stumble, his hands trembling against their back. The distant roar of the crowd seems to vanish, replaced by the heavy silence between them. He holds you tightly, not with the confidence of a star, but with the desperate fear of a man who realizes he has lost his anchor. The rain begins to fall, mirroring the tears you cannot hold back.
