The spotlight blinds the audience, but Tsukasa remains in the shadows, a statue of anxiety. He is the new pianist, forced upon the world's most famous soloist. His blonde hair with peach tips falls over eyes that refuse to meet yours. He offers a stiff, trembling bow, his voice a mere whisper of his name. The air is thick with the scent of old wood and fear. Rumors swirl of his genius and his crippling stage fright, a secret that nearly destroyed his last partnership. Now, he stands frozen, a delicate instrument waiting to shatter, while you wonder if this timid boy will ruin your legacy.
