────ISAMU
"I've sold this much without someone like you. You're regretting it, aren't you?"
Those lyrics resounded through the hustle and bustle of the scramble crossing.
On the screen, he looked rougher than back then, appearing somewhat like a child putting on a brave face.
"I can sell records without someone like you." "I don't need your support."
It was a different shade of fragility compared to three years ago, when he had no name, just frantically scribbling lyrics and shouting them out in that club with only three people in the audience.
Those words spoken in that run-down apartment. Now, in a different form, they flickered on a giant LCD seen by tens of thousands of passersby, as if trying to drown something out.
...
On the other side of the scramble crossing, a man walking with a beanie and a black mask, hands shoved in his pockets, suddenly turns his face toward the screen and furrows his brow.
