Summary
Ivan appears one night at one of Till's shows and never really leaves.
He stands front row at every performance, offers notes no ordinary talent scout should be able to give, and slowly becomes an unavoidable presence in Till's life. He's a mysterious traveler with endless money, no social media, no past, and an uncanny habit of looking at Till as if he's seeing a ghost.
From there, things start getting stranger and stranger, but he just can't quite seem to walk away.

Summary
Shizusumi was a child the last time he’d cried. He didn’t remember when exactly, but he remembered where. And why.
He’d been too small, then, to understand why the sky was breaking above him. He’d expected pieces of it, the clouds, the limitless inky black, to rain down upon his head like giant plates of stone. Instead, whatever had caused the world-ending crack, had been followed instantly by colourful bursts of fire. By five hundred hands clapping their approval.
Too young, then, to really appreciate the glitter, the thunderous applause, for the inspiration and hope it was meant to be. After all, nobody had explained it to him.
Of course, they’d all assumed he’d seen fireworks before. He was a kid. What kind of kid hadn’t?
OR how Shizu reacted to Hiiragi collapsing on stage. He doesn't ever want to feel so powerless again.

Summary
Hiiragi just laughs, stilted and awkward. “It’s fine, really. I’ll survive. I mean, it’s just Shizusumi, right?”
Just Shizusumi, Hiiragi’s ex. His first boyfriend, first time, first love, first everything.
Just Shizusumi, who he hasn’t seen since the breakup. Who he hasn’t heard from since he saw him last. Who he’s narrowly managed to avoid crossing paths with time and time again for the last three years.
Just Shizusumi, who shattered Hiiragi’s heart into a million pieces. Who a not insignificant part of Hiiragi will always, always love.
Just Shizusumi. Easy, right?
Or not.

Summary
...the mic screeched for a second before their name and the introduction of the band hit him like a wall of pure sound waves. Then a second of dead silence before Ivan was ripped from any peace he might have possibly retained in his barely 19 years of life.
In a moment everything he thought he knew about human expression from acting for survival was brought before the judges bench and deemed a poor imitation. The performance was loud, bright, and viscerally human.
The lead vocalist played 2nd guitar as he belted raw emotions like an accusation toward the audience for not being truly honest with themselves. Faced with this absolute being Ivan wondered how any of his experienced acts could compare to this 3 hour set under incandescent lights in the corner of an alleyway bar. And Ivan knew they never could...
...But rather than falling into despair at this realization, Ivan experienced euphoria watching the very incarnation of Apollo finish the first half of the set...
***
Or a burnt-out idol trainee Ivan experiences human emotions and awakens a deep infatuation for the lead singer, Till, of a fledgling rock band.
