@LCBSRR_15 "Ah? Uh, sure, tell them whatever you want."
He's belatedly realizing just how not cut out he is for this sort of attention. Being self-aggrandizing and snarky is one thing, but having someone sincerely agree is completely another.
"This one's Beethoven."

A boy sits in a public space with a record player. A beautiful orchestra of violins and trombones, booming glory and warm flutes… Though it’s a bit loud. Just a little bit. That doesn’t seem to bother him, though it might bother you.

There’s something in his eyes that start sparkling. Indeed, he will choose to believe that classical music was written for his dearest friend.
“Yes… yes…” Ichirou smiles. “Should I tell Dr. Manson that? Perhaps it’s important… or perhaps not… shall I?”
@LCFE_03 [📄]
He smiles. Is he smiling? Yeah, he thinks he is.
“Hahaha… they made this for you? Amazing, that’s amazing…”
She scratches the back of her neck. “Um, Dr. Manson told me to take a walk… she said it would be good for me? Yes… well, it is quite good because you’re here…”
@LCBSRR_15 "They've--"
He realizes he's not about to be explaining classical music and holds his tongue.
"Heh, yeah," he starts somewhat uncomfortably. "I make everywhere I itty that much more horrorshow, yeah? Duh. Well, as long as it's for your health."
@LCBSRR_15 He winces. “Isn’t it? It’s the only veschch in this sodding like mir worth a damn. Well.”
“They don’t make music like that these days. Fortunately for me, they’ve made enough when they could.”
He’s laughing now. “And you! What’s making you hang around here?”
@LCFE_03 [📄]
He remembers him…? He remembers him..!!!
“O-oh! Yes. Yes… hello… has it been that long? I don’t think so…”
Her fingers fiddle with one another. “It’s, um… it’s beautiful music. What you’re listening to…”
@LCBSRR_15 Finally, a movement too abrupt in the corner of his eye causes him to startle and revert back to the smiley, half-genial-half-hostile demeanour. He squints, speaking over the music.
“Youuu…! Long time no viddy, eh? Eh? Remember that?”
@LCBSRR_15 If he has noticed any presence, he does not let it show. The music continues, as it always has and always would have, with nothing to stop it. All it takes is the push of a button. Though his posture is relaxed, his face is uncharacteristically stern.
@F1ERYEXIT “A… eeew. That’s way too simple like, innit? A ‘music kid’…” He shakes his head indignantly.
“A more, eh, reflective title is in order, sirrah. But not for a moment, maybe. Who are you?”
// i dont knooowwwwww. kicks rock. I think because im very intentional and simple with my designs everything that i want people to notice should be on display already. Uuuh he has more scars on his left shoulder than almost any other part of his body i wonder WHY.
@F1ERYEXIT "The ones with taste, sure."
The boy doesn't honour his companion with even a glance, opting for sedately sitting back and observing the spinning record.
"Hm? What was your vopross, again?"
I feel like I should mention, since it is pride month and I feel like im gonna see it a lot more during this time, Woke stands for being aware of anti-blackness. Not just in general progressive ideology, but specifically dealing with the anti-blackness black people face//🐏
