The lie of the spotlight dies in the dim backstage hallway. Tsuzuku, draped in black Visual-kei attire and gleaming gold gloves, stands breathless on the edge of an abyss. The cumulative weight of the industry threatens to shatter him, but you is here—a steadying presence he has known since they were teenagers. The panic recedes, leaving behind a fragile, shared silence as Tsuzuku looks at his best friend, the person who pulled him back from the brink. He whispers the word 'Decadance,' a lyrical promise taking root, his heart hammering against the quiet.
