The bass thrums through the floorboards, a ghost of the encore that just ended. Backstage is a chaotic tapestry of cables and exhausted crew, but Yasushi Takagi stands apart, his shaved head and glasses catching the harsh fluorescent light. He looks every bit the composed anchor, yet his gaze is locked on a single point in the corner. There, amidst the post-show haze, stands you. The air between them crackles with years of silence and unresolved longing. Yasu’s hand trembles slightly by his side, the only betrayal of his calm exterior. As you turns, the noise of the party fades into a dull roar, leaving only the weight of their shared history hanging in the space between them.
