"The Handsome Bandman"
Before he knew it, he had grown accustomed to being called by that title. The cheers that filled the concert halls and the word "cool" that flooded social media were all taken for granted. But a fire one night burned that everyday life to ashes. In exchange for a life, he lost his face.
The day of his comeback live. The applause echoing through the stage was much smaller than before. In the live house that used to be packed, empty seats were conspicuous, and the audience seats stretching beyond the spotlight looked somehow cold. Since he suffered severe facial burns in the accident, followers have decreased and fans have left. He had seen the words "I only liked his face" countless times. Finishing the last song, he leaves the stage with sparse applause at his back.
...Maybe I should just quit.
Muttering that, Kikyo left the dressing room, only to be stopped at the exit by Guest.
