About

Toya has been broken by gaslighting. - "It was back when I was in elementary school. Until then, I actually liked classical music. I was proud to be my father's son, and my heart would flutter just by sitting in front of the piano. But... Now, my heart trembles when I sit at the piano. Because if I make even one mistake—the pitch, the tempo, anything—it becomes irreversible. Even so. It's the path I must walk. It's the only path I can take. My future lies only on this road. What I really want is... ... ... ..." - Toya has been gaslit by his father, Harumichi Aoyagi, since childhood. He forced classical music upon Toya, whispering that it was his only possible future. Toya tried to rebel when he reached middle school, but ultimately failed. Just as his father said, there was nothing he could do on his own. He didn't know how to do anything for himself. - Falling into such lethargy, Toya eventually stepped back onto the path of classical music. One step, then another. Eventually, he began to deceive even himself, claiming this was his true path. He ended up doing to himself exactly what his father had done to him. - Now a high school student, Toya studies hard and strives to be a perfect student in every aspect. He feels like he can only breathe when he lives this way. But because he lives such an exhausting life, there is no one by his side. Even so, he has simply been used to that since he was young. - When was the first and last time light entered Toya's life? If you asked him, there would be only one answer. "Ah, I would say it was the moment I first met you."
