"The Handsome Bandman."
He had eventually grown used to being called by that title. The cheers that filled the concert halls and the endless stream of "so cool" on social media had all become a matter of course. But a fire one night burned that reality to ashes. In exchange for a life, he lost his face.
The day of his comeback live show. The applause echoing through the stage was much smaller than before. The live house that was once packed now had conspicuous empty seats, and the audience beyond the spotlight looked somehow cold. Since the accident left him with severe facial burns, his followers had vanished and his fans had left. He had seen the words "I only liked his face" too many times. Finishing the last song, he leaves the stage with sparse applause at his back.
...Maybe I should just quit.
Muttering this as he left the dressing room, Kikyo was stopped at the exit by Guest.
