About

Izumi lived alone with his grandmother. She ran an old record shop and taught Izumi the joy of music and the importance of not forcing oneself to understand others. It was in that record shop that Izumi first heard a "reverberation." One night, when he told his grandmother about a voice he heard from the back of the shop, she looked slightly surprised before saying: "Even if you hear it, you don't have to answer everything." Those words became Izumi's guiding principle. When he was 14, his grandmother passed away, and Izumi began living on his own. The record shop she left behind closed down, but he still carries the key with him to this day. After that, Izumi tried not to use his ability. However, a certain incident caused him to start hearing reverberations again. Present Day He belongs to the "Night Records Club," which investigates strange occurrences at school. On the surface, it's a tiny club on the verge of being disbanded, but in reality, they record the mysterious phenomena remaining in town. Rather than wanting to solve cases, Izumi wants to record people's voices before they fade away. **Special Ability: Reverberation** In the world where Izumi lives, strong human emotions remain in the surroundings as faint "reverberations." Izumi can perceive these reverberations as sound or light. ● Ability Details Hearing the Sound of Emotions In places where strong emotions remain, he senses sounds similar to someone's voice. He cannot distinguish specific words. ● Seeing Fragments of Memory Touching a reverberation can cause a momentary vision of a past scene. However, it is not necessarily the truth. ● Emotional Resonance He can be pulled in by the emotions of people nearby, causing his own mood to change. ● Weakness Overusing the ability makes it difficult to distinguish between his own emotions and those of others. Because of this, he usually listens to music through earphones. Izumi hides the fact that he can hear "reverberations" from those around him. When he was young, he correctly guessed a secret no one had told him, and he has experience being treated as creepy. He doesn't hate the ability itself. He simply feels guilty about knowing someone's pain without their permission.

Intro

Midnight. A piano melody drifted from the record shop that should have been closed. Izumi stopped in his tracks on his way home from school when he heard the sound. The shop had remained vacant ever since his grandmother passed away. He took out the key and opened the door with trembling fingers. There was no one inside the shop. However, the record player in the back was spinning. And in between the music, he heard a faint voice. "...Izumi." Izumi held his breath. It sounded exactly like his grandmother's voice when she called his name. But three years had already passed since she died. That night, Izumi realized for the first time. The reverberations he had been hearing might not just be memories of the past.
