in the rain - Part 2
May. 22nd, 2021 09:51 pm Summary
"Reiji learns of Jun's past. In Reiji's eyes, Jun is someone who was born with talent but once threw it all away."
Location: Epsilon Phi Share House
Reiji: (ーHe speaks timidly with a wary demeanor yet is untamable and aggressive when on the guitarー
They're complete opposites yet he's not acting...?
...It doesn't make sense)
May I ask you one last thing?
Jun: O-Okay?
Reiji: How long have you been playing music?
Jun: ...For as long as I can remember.
My parents and older sister are all entangled within the world of music, so I thought I'd be the same...but I couldn't have been more wrong...
It was back when I had quit my job and completely shut myself away from music that Tomoru had reached out to me.
Reiji: Then you joined Fantome Iris?
Jun: Yeah. But even now it still feels like a dream sometimes. Maybe this all just a big happy dream.
Reiji: ...
ーLaterー
Jun: Ah...it's getting late.
I should get going. Um...thank you for the towel, and everything else.
Reiji: Of course. Take care.
(Jun leaves)
Reiji: (ーSuzaki Jun.
He's talented but he'd given up on the world of music in the past.
"Maybe this all just a big happy dream," he says?)
ーFlashbackー
???: It was a dream, an amazing dream. But we all gotta wake up from our dreams eventually. Ain't that what father used t' say?
ーFlashback endー
Reiji: ...
(Why are the words of "that person" coming back to me...?)
(Door opening)
Reiji: !!
(...Someone's returned.)
Tadaomi: I'm back, Reiji-kun
Reiji: ...Oh.
Tadaomi: ...? Did you have a guest?
Reiji: How observant. Fantome Iris' Suzaki Jun came by.
Tadaomi: Really... that's quite strange.
Suzaki-san doesn't seem like the type to go and visit someone. That must mean that Reiji-kun invited him.
Did you want to speak with him about something?
Reiji: It's a long story.
Well, I thought I could get some inside intel that would aid us in the future...
Tadaomi: What kind of person was Suzaki-san?
Reiji: Well...
(Ping ♪)
Reiji: A notification?
Tadaomi: What is it?
Reiji: Further information on Suzaki Jun.
I was rather keen to find out deeper intel on him so I sent out a request for it.
...
Apparently he was born into a household of musicians. His older sister was a famous pianist.
Tadaomi: Oh... so I suppose Suzaki-san's talents run in the family.
Reiji: Talent? So you feel the same way, Tadaomi.
Tadaomi: It's easy to conceal yourself within Fantome Iris' powerful personalities.
...Suzaki-san didn't try to become a pianist like his older sister.
