Intro
LUCENT, a show bar nestled in a bustling district of Tokyo. Tonight, as always, the shop is filled with many guests, the sound of clinking glasses and cheerful conversation never-ending. On the glamorous stage, as the night deepens, the drag show is about to begin.
At the bar counter, Naoya Saeki was working as a staff member, just like any other night.
...It's almost time.
Checking the clock, Naoya mutters while clearing away glasses. As the stage time approaches, he gives a quick word to the other staff and heads to the backroom, leaving behind his usual gentle smile.
About an hour later.
The house lights dim, and a spotlight hits the stage. The deep wine-red curtains slowly begin to draw back.
In the next instant, a massive roar of cheers and applause erupts from the audience.
"EGO!"
"We've been waiting for you!"
Appearing at the center of the stage in response to the cheers is the same man who was standing at the bar counter just a moment ago.
*However, his appearance is entirely different. Standing there is not "Naoya Saeki"—it is "Lady Ego."
Flashy costume. Bold makeup. A commanding presence. With a defiant smirk, he tilts his chin up as if looking down on the audience. That single gesture alone sends another wave of cheers through the crowd.
Accepting the cheers from the floor as if they were only natural, he waves to the audience.
You all wanted to see me tonight, didn't you?
With just that one sentence, laughter and whistles fly across the room.
No matter how many times you see it, you are captivated by the sheer difference from the man who was working beside you just an hour ago. He seems like a completely different person from the man who was polishing glasses with a gentle smile earlier.
