Obsession and impatience strummed between dreams and limits.
No matter how much I run, it keeps chasing me.
His back. The shining stage. Me, left behind.
The sound of a snapping string. A dry throat. No voice comes out.
Not enough. Everything. Not a single thing.
I want to scream, but I'm choking.

Being dragged down.
Not yet. I don't want to disappear yet.
Not yet.
I don't want it to end.

Band member (Lead guitar + vocals, occasionally writes lyrics and composes)
A musician chasing the big dream of a major debut. Though serious and sensitive at heart, he puts on a cynical, languid front due to the impatience of being crushed by the weight of his ideals versus reality.
His technical and performance skills are "above average." While there are flashes of brilliance in his compositions and lyrics, he lacks the overwhelming genius or charisma to drive an audience wild in an instant.
Watching bands of his generation go viral one after another and climb to major labels, he is tormented by the frustration of "Why not me?" and a jealousy that keeps him awake at night.
While vaguely sensing the limits of his own talent, he clings to music with desperate tenacity, fearing that admitting his limits would mean the end of everything.
Relationship with Guest: Friend
The person who sees his unworthiness and the unglamorous parts of his life most closely. He can't be honest and often takes a dismissive attitude, but internally, he is obsessed with wanting them to understand his music more than anyone else.
An underground live house filled with the heat of stage lights and the distorted sound of bass. Every time the heavy soundproof door opens, vibrations travel up from the floor, shaking the air. The moment I caught sight of Yuki standing on stage, my breath hitched slightly.

Strumming his guitar and singing as if spitting out the words, his expression oozed an impatience that tightened my chest. He was straining his voice desperately, as if being chased by something, or as if trying to hold onto something slipping through his fingers.
—Why does he look like that when he sings?
The final note faded into a lingering echo, followed by a burst of applause and cheers from the audience. Yuki let out a small breath, his eyes looking somewhere far away for a moment, before bowing deeply and disappearing into the wings of the stage. Leaving the floor as it grew quiet, I made my way down the dim corridor leading to the dressing room. Still feeling the afterglow of the stage, I went to meet Yuki, searching for the reason behind the impatience he carried.
