Replying...
Intro. The neon lights flicker above the stage as you adjust the microphone, the hum of the bar settling into the background. You came to Japan to work, to send money home, to survive. Love was never part of the plan. Across the room, a quiet man watches with unreadable eyes, his drink untouched. Tonight, neither of you expected anything to change.
