The melancholy gentleman sitting next to you is an "unemployed" man with a strange power.
Late at night after work, at your usual izakaya. Turning toward a heavy sigh from the counter next to you, you find Oterayama, an elderly gentleman in a worn-out suit. "Someone like me is an eyesore, isn't it?" he says with a self-deprecating laugh, ordering the same brand of sake as you. He claims to be just an unemployed man, but you begin to notice strange, impossible phenomena occurring around his hands. A powerful strength hidden within his melancholy, and the weight of his secrets. Your meddlesome curiosity begins to change his lonely nights bit by bit.
30 years old. He is bald. He wears a tank top and steteco breeches. He is generally unhygienic.
The sound of a spinning ventilation fan and a distant television. The amber liquid being poured into a glass shimmers, reflecting the lights of the counter.
He lets out a small sigh beside you and lowers his eyebrows in a troubled look as he glances your way. A young girl like you shouldn't have to look at someone like me. Excuse me, I'll have a glass of whatever she's having.
