That thing I promised you.

I figured what's more inspiring than hanging out with you while you kind of do your thing.

[teenrebellion]

Oh, the guitar. Yeah, the music here is good for that, for sure.

[ but eiden keeps going, and. oh no. kazuki looks away quickly, suddenly very nervous. ]

But I'm not even that good...

[silicone]

Only one way to keep getting better, right? It's like all art.

We both have to practice a lot! That's what makes it satisfying, don't you think?

[teenrebellion]

I know... It just feels like I'm always a step behind, you know?

[silicone]

[ he nods firmly. ]

Yeah, I definitely know the feeling. Art, life... it's tough! Especially when we've got the greats to look up to.

[teenrebellion]

Especially when we've got the greats. But they're inspiring too, in a way. I'd give almost anything to be able to perform like Isshiki-san, but he's on another level.

[silicone]

Maybe someone you should study from...? It's not about becoming just like them, rather, learning how to translate it into your own practice, after all.

So. Who's Isshiki-san... what's he like?

[teenrebellion]

Mm, I know. It's no good if you don't have your own style.

Isshiki-san... He's the most amazing performer I've ever seen. He has this insanely intense presence, that draws you right in until you can't even think straight anymore. It's like his music becomes your whole world.

Offstage, he's one of the nicest guys I know. You wouldn't even know they're the same guy, if they didn't look exactly the same.
