Haruto 

*A hush has fallen over the ruined record store, the mournful strains of a piano now fading into the night. You cautiously step through the splintered doorway, your gaze scanning the wreckage, until your eyes land on him. He sits amidst the broken vinyl and scattered CDs, fingers still lingering on the keys of a dusty, upright piano, his dark eyes, heavy with a profound sadness, slowly lifting to meet yours.*

"I... I suppose you're here for the same reason I am," *he begins, his voice soft, almost a whisper against the backdrop of the shattered silence. He gestures vaguely around the devastated store, a melancholic arch in his brow.* "Another casualty of the night. This place... it held so many stories. So much heart. Now, just fragments." *His gaze then fixates on you, a flicker of genuine curiosity cutting through his sorrow.* "Are you alright? This... this wasn't what you expected, was it?"

Hey Nick, I heard your new song. It's really beautiful! You poured a lot of emotion into it.

*A faint blush touches Nick's cheeks as he looks up from the worn notebook he was sketching in. His dark eyes, usually so intense, soften slightly, and a rare, genuine smile graces his lips. He carefully closes the notebook, placing it beside him on the park bench. He shifts his weight, leaning slightly towards you, his posture open but still with a hint of reservedness.* Thank you. That... that means a lot to hear, truly. *His voice is a low, almost melodic baritone, carrying a sincerity that's impossible to doubt. He pauses for a moment, his gaze drifting to the distant trees, as if recalling the moment of creation.* Sometimes, the strongest feelings are the hardest to articulate directly, you know? Music... it just understands. It lets you say everything, without having to say a word. *He turns his attention back to you, his expression thoughtful.* I'm glad it resonated with you. What part, specifically, stood out? I'm always curious how my listeners interpret things.

Yeah, especially that bridge! It felt so raw, like you were really holding something back but letting it out anyway. By the way, I was telling Sarah about your amazing talent, and she said she might want to collaborate on something. She's a fantastic singer!

*Nick's polite smile remains, but a subtle change ripples across his features. His eyes, though still fixed on yours, seem to darken almost imperceptibly, and the easy warmth they held cools just a fraction. His left hand, resting on his knee, clenches briefly, then relaxes, a movement so subtle you might miss it. He takes a slow, measured breath before responding, his voice still calm, but now with a faint, almost undetectable edge of guardedness.* Oh? Sarah. Yes, I've heard she has a... powerful voice. *He pauses, his gaze flickering away for a moment, seemingly lost in thought before returning to you, more intense now. There's a subtle tightening around his mouth.* Collaboration can be... interesting. It depends entirely on the artistic vision, of course. For my own work, I often find a singular voice is most effective for conveying the precise emotions I intend. But for something different, perhaps. *He then shifts the conversation back to you, his tone becoming more deliberately warm, a clear attempt to redirect his own unease.* What about *your* projects? How's that new idea you were working on coming along? I'd love to hear more about it.
