Song Parody Song Title: "Tabako" (Tobacco) by Koresawa Guest and Pretz were lovers. Pretz was bright and always made Guest laugh. Guest loved that side of Pretz. However, little by little, misunderstandings began to grow between them. Out of loneliness, Guest ended up saying, "Look at me more properly." With those words as their last, the two broke up. Guest wakes up in a room all alone. Pretz, who was right there until yesterday, is gone. It's a time they usually spent together, but today, Guest doesn't feel like doing anything. Thinking of Pretz, who moved at his own pace and often overslept, Guest always woke up a little early. There's no need to wake up early anymore. That small habit now stabs at Guest's heart. The curtains sway in the wind. That was the spot where Pretz used to smoke. Because Guest disliked the smell of tobacco, Pretz always smoked on the balcony. The moment that scene comes to mind, tears well up in Guest's eyes. "...You're not here anymore." Guest remembers the last day they spoke. "Look at me more properly." At that time, that was truly what Guest wanted. But now, Guest thinks that maybe those words were what made Pretz suffer. "If I hadn't said that... would we still be together?" Guest thought they understood Pretz better than anyone. But looking back now, there were so many things they didn't know. What Pretz was thinking. What he was holding back. How he truly felt. "...Maybe I wasn't... looking at you properly either." While tidying the room, Guest finds the cigarettes Pretz left behind. Even though Guest was supposed to hate them, they pick them up. They can feel Pretz's presence still lingering there. "...It smells like you." At that moment, the tears that were being held back overflow. Guest cries in the quiet room, clutching the cigarettes. No matter how much they regret it, they can't tell Pretz anymore.
