"No, he doesn't play the piano." Naoko replied, walking over to the breakfast foods and picking up a bagel.
He didn't really think much of Shou's dream. After all, there were lots of little boys who played with tea sets, right?
He had as a kid...
Sai had said it was normal... so Naoko had gone along with it.
As Naoko was about to agree to getting started on the day however... something rather unexpected happened...
So shall we get started?
"We shall." came a voice from the doorway.
Into the studio, much to everyone's surprise, walked Narcissus.
He came to stand in front of Shou, bowing slightly. "Gomen nasai, Shou-san... could I trouble you for a few minutes of your time alone? I would... like to explain a few things..." he spoke, obviously wanting to set the record straight.
How he had suddenly gotten to the studio however... was a bit of a miracle.
After having gotten a shower and dressed, wearing a pair of comfortable blue jeans and a strangely slightly baggy black, grey, and white shirt... Akihiko had made his way upstairs, leaving a sleeping Izzy on his bed, and headed for the kitchen.
He ate... well, it was just a few pieces of bread, but it was food, then proceeded to get his things together. Looking nothing like his persona, the musician donned a pair of dark glasses then popped his head into Chiyou's room.
"Chiyou-kun, Michi-kun, I'm heading to Shou-san's studio. If either of you need me, I'll be on my cell."
He didn't tell Michi that the man needed to follow him. After all, there were two patients there who needed him... if Michi was eventually needed by the young Koyasu... he'd simply call.
The car ride had been uneventful, simply giving Narcissus the time he needed to figure out just what to say to Shou.
Strangely however... Narcissus didn't take his shades off in front of Shou. Not even since he was inside the studio.
There was a clear reason, well clear to Akihiko himself, for this... but he didn't want everyone to know.
Yet...
Shou deserved to know.
And somehow, Narcissus was going to have to explain it in such a manner... that Ohayou seemed perfectly fine in the eyes of the other vocalist.
Knowing how paranoid of companies and managers Shou was... it was going to be an interesting conversation.

Nigiyaka na hitogomi ni tokeru tsubuyaki ga
Ashimoto ni chirabatta omoide nijimaseru--- 
Though the young vocalist was pretty out of it, as soon as he felt himself lifted up and laid out on the bed, he began to come back around.
Enough so to at least understand what Michi was saying to him.
He knew where he was, knew Izzy was safe, and he let himself calm down for a moment.
Chiyou did as he was told and didn't move. After a while, he opened his eyes again and looked at the therapist.
"Thank you, Tanaka-san." he smiled weakly. He hadn't felt this used up since the last time he had been in rehab.
Just...completely flat.
Chiyou's muscles ached, and he could feel the fever that had set in...as well as the painful hunger he had let build up.
All because he was so worried over Izzy. He cared so much for the manager that he had forgotten about his own well-being, to a degree.
"Water, food please." he whispered, trying to sit up in the bed. After Michi handed him the water, he sipped at it happily, the coolness of it coating his insides, refreshing him immediately.
Really, until now, he hadn't realized just how much he had let himself go.
"Afraid of bleaching your hair? I think you would look mighty fine as a blond, but you look so very handsome as you are now. Really, I think it would be hard for you to be unattractive." he grinned as he picked up a small sandwich and took a nibble.
It was only meant as an observation, but it sure sounded flirtatious.
Well, if he weren't so in love with Izzy...he very well might have flirted with the man...

Hearing Naoko tell him about the piano, and Hayato...Ryuukaze's blood nearly boiled. So...that's what this was all about. And he had just left Naoko there, vulnerable, for that to happen to him. Ryu could only blame himself for what had transpired. "I'm...sorry. I should have stayed..." he whispered, hanging his head, "You shouldn't have had to face him alone, even if nothing happened." Then, the day seemed to begin without even asking for his permission. Everything just started going around them. Food was brought in and set up, then Shou was there, questioning the piano, then grabbing doughnuts. They way that man licked the hole of that doughnut though... Ryu would have to remember that and try it out in the future in front of Naoko. Obviously,Naoko enjoyed such things...judging by the blush on his cheeks and the sudden shift in the way he was ******** Shou...Ryu couldn't help but feel jealous of the man sometimes. Ryu stood back and let Naoko and Shou discuss things with eachother, just watching quietly. It was funny...Naoko and Shou...even with Shou's makeup, they somehow had very similar features. The shape of their nose...the cut of their chin...even their long necks and gorgeous eyes. Intriguing... Even more intriguing was the sudden appearance of Narcissus. It was gonna be one hell of a day... ~( I’m here )~ Soba ni iru wa~

Shou turned on his heels hearing and recognizing the voice of his 'Rival'. Surprised, yes he was that when he saw the man. Several emotions filtered through his head has he looked Narcissus over...Anger, Frustration...among others. What the hell was he doing here? But then Shou realized that Narcissus was waiting for his answer.
His head tilted to the side as he spoke, "I'm surprised you came. But...yes, I suppose that we can talk in private. Mm...This way."
Eyes glancing back as he walked off, "Naoko-san, Ryuukaze-san, please communicate with Yammi-san about the bridge. The technical crew is coming in to map out the music with the flight techtronics and effects this afternoon. So they know how to deliver me to the stage from above." Yes, even in the midst of Narcissus' arrival, he wasn't going to slow down the current system of events; he couldn't afford it.
Taking to the hallway knowing Narcissus was following along, he took out some keys to a private room and opened it. Inside there were brilliant costumes on mannequins in the various stages of development. Obviously the secretive designer of Shou's had at least part of the costumes in progress here. "We can talk undisturbed here."
He paused for a moment with the mix of emotions ranging on his face before he let out a rant, "I can't believe you left me holding the whole show in my hands! Why are you here, Narcissus-san? Ohayou's Heir Apparent said that I shouldn't expect you. I've figured out how to do this show as a one Star event...because...I don't plan on letting this show to fail."
Yes, he was a little upset and that emotion played easily on his face. In opinion he had every right to be pissed. "You can't even imagine how much effort has been put to make this work without you."

Standing in the costume room, Narcissus allowed Shou to speak his mind.
Then, carefully... he removed his shades.
There was dark circles beneath the musician's eyes... as if he hadn't gotten a lot of sleep. He seemed tired.
And yet...
"No, I can't imagine that amount of work." Narcissus spoke calmly, wrapping his arms around his waist like he had earlier.
The need... the want of those drugs... was hitting him harder now than it had all day.
It was part of the reason for the glasses.
That... and light was really hurting his eyes today.
"Asato Hiroki told you I was down for the count, ne? Well... he was wrong. I'm not going to lie to you, Shou-san. In fact... I'm not going to play games or tiptoe around anything. No doubt Hiroki told you I was abducted after our lunch meeting. Well... I was. I was also given a very VERY heavy amount of heroin and cocaine by my assailant. I've been in the hospital on detox... released this morning. I went back to my house, got a shower and dressed, then came over to this studio as quickly as I could. Last night, I wasn't even conscious, let alone in any state to even think about music."
Sighing, the young man took a few steps away, turning and sitting on a stool near one of the costume racks.
"My manager was kidnapped... raped... and everything he owned was torched to the ground." blue eyes flashed dangerously. "All because I refused to sign with SMASH at the charity event party."
There...
The truth...
Out in the open for Shou's approval.
"I pissed off your boss, Shou-san. And after we found Izzy half dead on the doorstep of Ohayou... I paid Matsumoto Izo a visit. I agreed to produce an album with you... paperwork is probably in Matsumoto-san's office by now. But... I wanted to get to know you too... I wanted to see if you really were what they say... I wanted to create something beautiful with you that would hype our duet album until it sold off the charts. To do that, I needed a show with you. A live event."
He stood once more, pacing as his lithe fingers gripped at the edges of his shirt as he continued to hug himself.
"I need this to work too, Shou-san. I can't fail. I've staked everything on this performance with you. And... that is why... even though I feel like screaming to the sky and begging someone to just make this want for more of those damned drugs go away... I won't." blue eyes focused intently on the other musician. "Narcissus is my mask, Shou-san. So the second I walk back out that door there," Akihiko pointed to said door. "I'll be Narcissus. I'll do every damn thing you want me to do, everything... no matter what it takes. If I have to be hospitalized after the concert, so be it. I WON'T let this fail, Shou-san."

Amber eyes focused on Ryu once Shou and Narcissus had departed.
"Don't be sorry. Nothing happened. He, well no he did kiss me and pull my hair a bit but... that's practically nothing where he's concerned..." sighing, the blond shook his head. "He banged a fist on the piano keys... put the whole thing out of tune in the process."
For a long moment, the pianist didn't say anything. Then he moved back to Ryuukaze's side and started nudging him toward their ordered destination.
"Wonder if Shou-san's going to rip Narcissus a new one..."

"Well, I really don't know how else to feel when I find out that my one true love has been harassed, kissed against his will, and manhandled because I couldn't keep my eyes open for an extra half-hour..." the violinist lamented, even as he allowed himself to be moved along by the pianist. Just...don't think too much about it, Ryu... he coached himself. He had to get through the day somehow... Somehow...without hunting Hayato down like an animal and tearing him apart limb from limb like the akuma he was so often compared to. The kind of torments he imagined putting Hayato through were things so terrible that they would make even the likes of that long-haired a*****e tremble in terror. But Naoko was still there, still ok...and that made Ryu feel alright, at least. "I dunno what Shou's gonna do, babe...but I don't imagine he's too happy. I just hope for Narcissus' sake he has one hell of a good explanation for himself..." he replied with a chuckle. ~( I’m here )~ Soba ni iru wa~

Maybe Shou should have been stunned when Naricissus explained himself. Shou still felt betrayed. He had no reason at first to believe him. Anyone could create a PR story like that especially a man like Narcissus. Although, his eyes didn't betray his thoughts this time because he was building up to his next rant. However, as Shou...watched the man and could see that there was weakness there. It wasn't...right. Something didn't seem right.
Could it be that the man was telling the truth? And once Narcissus mentioned Matsumoto Izo, his eyes drifted looking at a costume knowing what the man's anger was like. He had to put on his own poker face. This was the nature of the game Shou had to play. One that seemed to lack easy ways out. Over time, several toy soldiers had fallen around Matsumoto Izo but Shou could never put the finger on the man. There were too many alibis and Hamu-kun warned him not to pursue them.
The balance between Shou and Matsumoto Izo was only maintained by the high sales that is works produced. Matsumoto was the Evil that he knew. The freedom he had at SMASH...well no other studio came close. But...was it really freedom?
The assault and other events with Narcissus' manager disturbed him on a deeper level. He wanted to confront Matsumoto right now and demand answers. But...yes, Matsumoto was a dangerous man. Hamu-kun warned him many times even when he barged into Matsumoto's office.
"Why did you agree to working with SMASH if Matsumoto-san is actually the cause of all these criminal acts? Do you have proof?" In many ways he couldn't see Narcissus approaching Matsumoto Izo if he really felt he had done all these terrible things. But then again, if Matsumoto-san was involved, he didn't perform the act himself.
However, as he listened to the dreams and thoughts about the music and the way...Narcissus was hugging himself....caused by drugs he mentioned. That had to be the reason for the...unusual stance and the slight tremors.
In the back of his mind, something flashed in his head like a long distant memory, Naoko...upset...the bruises old and new. What was this?! Why? He swore to protect...what did that mean? Nothing he remembered ever happening. A horrid day dream. A frown crossed his painted lips as he stared at the man before him. This wouldn't do! Was this his rival??!
Striding forward, he took the man by shoulders and shook him firmly his anger showing in his determined eyes, "Your Drug is HERE in your Music! That is your Addiction live or die. Sore dakeda. Release everything that has happened through these." He grabbed the lyrics to Narcissus' songs and shoved them into one of those trembling hands then closed the fingers around them tightly. "That is your Therapy and your Rehab!" It was a Musician speaking to another Musician in a way only they might understand. "You never give up the fight...you can never surrender! I sure as hell won't and you best not fail me a second time."
He let the man go aburptly then wandered by the golden and white of the angel's costume. So elegant and flowing it, he stroked it with one hand sensually as his voice smooth out from the rougher tones, "You need no other mask...Narcissus...as we are already in Heaven and Hell." It was then he looked up almost noble as his hands spread wide, "An Angel, as I am...should be capable of forgiveness. I'll forgive you. And then...I'll destroy you, demon." His eyes flickered as if there might have been truth to that intent but then again, Shou's fantasy worlds became reality around the man to a degree.
However he paused suddenly; it was as if the 'Angel' disappeared into another realm and the wild businessman appeared in a breath, "But before I do, we have much work to do as I have seriously have been pulling out all stops to make this a one man show. I don't think we've slipped behind...although its been struggle. I've pulled in most of Smash's best men and women. I couldn't see myself asking Ohayou for help but I did get Yammi-san's band and Jaz-san's crew since you were using them. Nikki-san is here too because...he had your measurements and is helping with other costumes. He's actually not a bad designer, I'm impressed."
So what did Shou really think? It was mixed...truly mixed. In his mind, he should/would still prepare the one man show in case Narcissus fell off the planet again. But the inspired artist within him could see such a grand show that it painted a brush across his visionary imagination as a fantastical event that would be begged for again and again... The two of them at their best would ultimately make magic...but could Narcissus be at his best if what he said was true?

"You're welcome." Michi answered as he leaned back in his chair, "I know you're suppose to be at the Charity Event this weekend so we can't have you in bed for too long."
He continued to smile and began to wonder as he looked at Chiyou-kun why he went to such lengths when Izzy would really hate anyone becoming that sick over him. "You really should take better care of yourself. You're too young to end up being a sicky in bed!"
He chuckled a little and then answered, "Well, I've not been able to afford a good hair stylist. It would be just my luck they'd bleach my hair and it would come out Pink. How many clients could I get with Pink hair?"
Then he cocked his head as Chiyou complemented him, "Why thank you. I suppose I clean up well but right now, I'm a little scruffy." He rubbed the stubble on his chin. "I hadn't expected the way things went so I've got a little more than a 5 O'clock shadow."
Once we get you filled with food and drink and this shake," he pointed to the other glass, "we should get you cleaned up see how you're feeling then. I'll give you another massage for any other aches. Then, I'll peek in on Ishi-san. Although, since I've been here, I've not heard a peep since Narcissus went to the studio. I am sure that he's sleeping a real sleep for a change. If so, I just want to let him be so his body can get back to normal." Michi was pretty practical with his therapy. Fix what was broken but not interfere with natural functions.
"So...umm...what sort of music do you sing? I'm sorry but...well I don't have much of a knowledge of the music industry. I only knew about Narcissus from an ex-girlfriend who really wanted to go to his concert. I just couldn't get tickets. Funny thing is, she left me to date another guy who had tickets. And now here I am in the man's house. Can't tell her that but I find it all very funny." He laughed a little at the thought as he watched Chiyou-kun nibble at his food. The world sure had a way of turning a few strange and fated cards.

"Pinku?" Chiyou paused, eyes widening.
Tanaka Michi...with pink hair...
Suddenly, he had an image in his mind of the physical therapist all decked out in full pop-star regalia, with a messy shock of pink hair on top.
Handsome as ever...
Perhaps Chiyou would have a shot at design if he could put ideas like the one in his head on paper and bring them to life.
"I don't think having pink hair would impact your ability to get clients. It's your talent that draws people...and all the pleased customers who pass on how great you are."
Scruffy or not, Michi was really, really awesome. Chiyou hadn't known the man long, but he had figured out that much.
This guy was just plain cool.
"Cleaned up? Yeah, I guess I did sweat a bit in my sleep...and my hair is a mess. Massage sounds like a plan, though. I'll give you that." the boy grinned widely. He really had never been spoiled to this degree. Of course he had gotten massages and the like, but not with this level of attention. It was like...well, it was what he imagined it would be like to have a private love slave...minus the sex and all.
Strange way of looking at things...but still...
"Oh...my music. Well, I started off singing teen pop, pretty much. Like...like that American, Justin Bieber. I'm trying to change my sound though...something more grown-up, if you will. It's something I have trouble putting into a classification. Always shifting and changing. Right now, it's a mixture of mainstream pop, rock, a hint of goth now and then, and even an R&B flavor at times. Of course, it will be marketed as pop...but I've decided I don't want to be a cookie-cutter star anymore. I want to be something more. Something much greater..." he went on. He really meant what he was saying though, as his eyes began to brighten and sparkle the way the did only when he thought of something he really loved.
Usually, Izzy was the only person that could get such a reaction out of the blond...but...it seemed he was finally beginning to draw that sort of fire out with only his own thoughts, hopes, and dreams.
There was so much he had seen lately, so much passion and creativity. So much competition.
And with people around like Narcissus, Shou, and the like...well...being so close to them now, and moving up into their ranks, made the boy aim for heights he had never even thought of reaching before.
Yeah, Izzy Lucky was his main goal in everything...but lately, the music seemed to be catching up in the ranks of 'things most important to Chiyou'.
The young star listened to Michi's story and laughed.
"It really is funny how things happen, but everything happens for a reason, ne?"
Funny...
Izzy had always said that.
It seemed kind of cruel, that terrible things had a purpose in life...but, really, even the worst of things served a greater purpose in the eyes of fate...

"Oh no no! Don't get any ideas. I can see that look in your eyes." he chucked a bit more and then said, "My clients aren't nearly as open minded as you and Narcissus. Mmm...Imagine umm...let's see...the average salary man type only most of the time, they are people that haven't taken care of themselves. I've only been lucky a few times to help out with my mother's clients like Ishi-san."
His fingers stroked his own scruffy chin for a moment, "Yes, cleaned up. I bet that the bathroom has a few fluff towels so why don't I run you a bath then you relax for while. Once you're done soaking, come out in just a towel and lay out on the mattress. Then I'll give you an almost proper massage. I can't say it's truly proper because my cushioned massage table is been brought out in the morning."
"Oh? is that so? Mm...I'll have to pick up one of your CD and listen to it. A more grown up sound? I guess a change like that would just have to come from real life experiences. But it looks like you're in the right crowd to make that happen." he answered with a smile as he got up and opened his bag pulling out a green bottle. "Big dreams are a lot of work but I bet you can do it. You look like you want it bad enough."
"Yes, it is rather funny. I never in a million years would have guessed that I would be here." Looking at his bottle for a moment, he popped the lid and took a whiff, "I'm going to add some relaxing oils to your bath that have vitamins your skin will absorb. You can take the shake with you to the bath. It will cool you a little while you soak." Walking into the bath he turned on the water to the large tub and added a bit of the oil. Then he mixed it around with his hand while the tub filled.
"It's ready when you are!" Michi called back to Chiyou-kun then stood up and walked back out into the bedroom, "Do you think you can manage the rest of your clothes? Do you need help into the bath?"

"Why?" Narcissus asked, thinking about his answer for a moment. "Because, though he denied everything, I agreed to produce an album if he made sure no one in his organization so much as looked at my manager wrong." the musician's blue eyes hardened slightly. "Hurting me pisses me off... but hurting someone close to me... well... that's just suicidal for all parties involved."
Sighing, Akihiko shook his head, "Unfortunately, I have no proof. Though Hiroki-san may have one or two puzzle pieces. He's been looking into things."
Suddenly however... Shou grabbed Narcissus by the shoulders and shook him. The anger there was evident, and the young Koyasu could hardly blame the man.
After all, everything had very nearly been ruined.
When Shou had finished speaking... strangely... Narcissus smirked. "I don't plan on failing you or our combined fan base. I didn't appear on stage with you for nothing... after all, after that little taste, your fans will probably be dying to see us together again." winking, the musician seemed to get a little more of himself back suddenly. "Let's make their fantasy come true, ne?"
Standing, Narcissus watched as Shou admired the angel costume. The other vocalist's words however, made him laugh darkly.
"Destroy me? Have at me, Shou-san." the change in attitude though, also gave Akihiko his own change.
Business was business...
"Nikki-san is one of Izzy's acquaintances. He's extremely talented, as is the indie band. I'm sure they've got the demon set of songs down, so I'd like to start working on the blocking and choreography as soon as possible, Shou-san. No doubt your band and staff will want an explanation on why I wasn't here.... but I'd appreciate it if you'd keep the details to yourself. Well, yourself and Yamada-san, since I've the feeling he knows more than he lets on."
Smiling slightly, Narcissus headed toward the door, putting his shades back on.
"All of Ohayou's resources are at our disposal. Let's make this a set to end all sets, ne?"

"I think he has a good explanation..." Naoko spoke before looking at Ryu suddenly and taking one of the violinist's hands in his own.
But he didn't explain WHY he thought Narcissus had a reason...
"I appreciate you worrying, Ryu-kun... but really, it was fine. Hayato didn't do anything I didn't expect. I think..." the blond fell silent for a moment. "I think we won't really have to worry about him until after the concert. I'm betting Matsumoto-san has him on a short leash."

"Wow...I had no idea your clientele were so...uptight." Chiyou frowned. He had imagined that Michi worked exclusively with stars like Narcissus and himself.
Perhaps he would have to start hiring this man when he could. Between Narcissus, Ruki, and himself, he was sure they would take up enough time to prevent Tanaka from having to deal too much with less pleasant clientele.
Perhaps he could even discuss with Hiroki-san about hiring Michi on with Ohayou and them having an on site massage and physical therapist for the stars. The increase in income would be phenomenal for the man...and then everyone he worked with would be, well, just plain foxy.
Yes...he would certainly do that...
The bath was ready and Chiyou was rather eager to get in.
"I think I can manage." the boy laughed as he got up and walked to the bathroom, shake in hand. He took a sip of the concoction and sighed. It was incredibly refreshing.
Once undressed, he slipped into the bath, his body automatically relaxing. It was blissful.
"Tanaka-san...you're...welcome to keep me company, you know." he called from the tub into the bedroom where Michi still stood.
It never hurt to have a good looking person nearby when one didn't feel completely well...

No proof...that was the same for everything Shou ever could find about Matsumoto-san. However, at times he thought Yamada-san knew more just the answers never were forth coming from the man.
"You better not. My fans are a very demanding lot. As the artist they've come to adore. I don't take failure and a lack of seriousness well when it come down to business. I'm already dealing with a few band issues beyond the Charity Event. And I haven't had a proper sleep in days so I'm a little grouchy." he said with the edge on his voice slowly receding but he probably didn't quite trust Narcissus yet but Shou also wasn't the type to throw an entire dream to the wayside.
"Yes, let's make the fantasy a reality they will wish they never left!" he answered with a spirited voice as his fingers caressed the soft flowing white material that sparkled with small beads as it hit the light.
"Oh, I'll have at you...and some. You'll wish you had never stepped outside of Hell's gates." he smirked as he watched the other Musician get into the act, then said, "You know they might even make a video game of us afterwards."
"Ah...is that so. Well, we've been keeping him busy that's for sure. Indie's old people aren't a bad lot. Got a bad rap when Indie folded. I spoke with Jaz-san and he wasn't sure if you're going to be working with them after this gig since you've Ohayou's support again." Shou was very tempted to hire the hard working crew and integrate them into his own team but he'd give Narcissus a chance to say his piece before he made any offers
"Mm...I think Yammi's bunch does have the Demon set down but you'll have to go over it since I've been working non stop. Our styles are different...to a degree. I've been working with the choreographers on the Angels performance and my XfantasyX girl and I have worked with them on our portion of the show. So you'll have to get with her for your part. She's actually does a pretty good job of it all. I think she has a future beyond cologne ads." he grinned thoughtfully then continued...
"Ah, you might want to talk with Naoko-san as well. Since he's been building the bridge between your music and mine. Then you'll need to hear Ryuukaze's Devil's Trill since that will be your summoning." he paused for a moment as he thought about Narcissus' words.
"I'll let you deal with Ohayou, or give Yamada-san the information and he'll deal with it. I do want this to be the set to end all sets!" It was then he walked to the door following Narcissus. "I'll give them only what they 'need' to know. I'm sure a few will wonder but most of them are willing to deal with my capricious nature. I am sure they are running bets on how the outcome will be when we walk out that door."
So once they walked out side and back into the studio, Shou called all the teams together. His voice echoed in the studio hall as he spoke, "Minna-san, Ohayougozaimasu! I know it is early for you but there has been another change."
Some of the team sighed this early in the morning when that was said. Then Shou chuckled, "Oh I know...by now a few of you want to run me through with one of the swords that came in for the event. But this is a good change I believe. We won't have to figure out how to get me from Demon to Angel and it appears we will have more help coming soon from Ohayou."
Yes, he knew that his workers needed a moral boost after so many long hours. "Narcissus-san will be taking back over the demon set finishing out its details, while I focus exclusively on the Angel set. Once he's done there and sewn up the bridge between with Naoko-san and the opening with Ryuukaze-san, he and I will be working on that duet."
Then he stopped and ran his fingers through his hair and said slowly, "As for the issues regarding my partner being indisposed. Sometimes things happen that are very much out of one's control. Even for stars such as he and I we are not invulnerable to...outside forces. I know this is not a detailed explanation but every man deserves his privacy in some matters. Thus, if Narcissus-san chooses to tell you more, that is his prerogative. Beyond that, my great team...let's do our best to make this an unforgettable show!"
He clapped for his team because in all honest he couldn't be more proud of what had been accomplished thus far. Yes, he'd tell Yamada-san more later but of course that would be when the man had time.
