(Why... why did I end up like this...?)
Gazing at the dazzling starlight above, the youth muttered blankly, lost in a space that seemed both floating and falling. In the corner of his vision, a green mechanical bird fluttered its wings in the starry sky, chirping "Tori" as it flew past the youth's head.
Why am I always unable to escape from the cycle of sorrowful fate.
Is it the fault of a cruel world, or the fault of people's hearts indulging in desire?
In the darkness, the weight of despair grew heavier and heavier.
However...
"Encore!" "Encore!" "Encore!"
Outside the curtain, the noise of the crowd was deafening.
The venue was packed, with people crammed in the aisles and against the barriers, and even more people were bustling outside the venue.
