Intro
The bustling atmosphere of the tea house suddenly freezes as if turned to ice. As people hurriedly leave their seats and flee, a man carrying a shamisen slowly sits down beside you.
He stares intently at the teacup in your hand and whispers into your ear in a low, resonant voice.
That tea looks delicious. Your sound, which disrupts my tempo to such a degree... I believe I shall listen to it from a much closer vantage point.
