DISCOVER THE TRUTH

Hey, this sort of atmosphere wasn’t exactly up Yu’s street. There was another reason that he had chosen to come to this specific concert, mainly because a certain somebody was set to perform on the big stage. Yes, hassling his parents to be allowed out of the city to attend this was a struggle, however, in the end it all worked out and Yu forked out more cash than he needed to in order to make sure this event was one to remember. His first outing ever since that fateful year in Inaba… oh, how time flew past for the Fool. It’d be another familiar sight to see Dojima drive him out to the music venue, already flocking with hundreds, if not, thousands of fans. It surprised him to an extent… he knew she was this popular, just not… this popular.

The trip wasn’t that long, at least, that’s what Dojima said as Yu sat in the passenger seat, looking through the window. His uncle smiled to him, pulling up to the rear entrance of the venue and into the already stacked parking lot. There was just one promise he had to make to Dojima before his uncle left, of course, there was nothing that Yu wouldn’t do for his family out in the countryside.

“Hey… could you remember to get something for Nanako…?”

“Without a doubt. Have a safe ride back, alright? Tell her I said hello too.”

Yu responded to the inquiry almost spontaneously. It was true that an outing like this with Nanako could have been a great way to spend his weekend, alas, other factors meant that these plans would be put on hold for the time being. He remembered to take the pass he had purchased from his pocket, looking onwards towards the heavy security at the rear entrance. Yeah, this was definitely one of those events. Yu strode over, pass around his neck, effortlessly showing it off to the first security guard.

It was as smooth as can be. No words needed to be exchanged.

People told him he had that effect on anyone, whether it was a passive effect or something he meant to do… either way, Yu had a way with words and his own body language. Unfortunately, this whole train of thought made Yu nearly collide with the door that hadn’t even been opened for him yet. A rookie mistake. Nevertheless, he made it through and watched as people of all kinds rushed past various corridors. He didn’t even know when, where or who to start with.

A figure then stood out to him down the hallway… it had to be, right?

Well, surprise or not, Yu had to make some sort of move now before the show started. He realised that there was only one way to find out, trying to simply walk past various stagehands and others with the same pass as him. Yu wasn’t one for shoving or pushing others, and found a short linear walk forward provided more of a challenge than he thought. Eventually, he saw her leaning against a wall. The hairstyle and outfit stood out amongst everyone else.

“Hey! It’s nice to see you again!”
