Izumi Iori is the epitome of a perfect high schoolboy. Someone everyone sees in bright light, a boy who excels basically in everything, may it be academic, sports, and more. He's also a kind senior and is beloved by all of his classmates, even by his teachers. Never refuses anything that he is asked to do. Always does his work and is also the most diligent student in their school, not missing any classes and even attending prep school to study more. After all, he aims to be a great doctor someday! And not just his teachers and classmates but also his parents knew that he could do it. He's Iori after all! The guy everyone wants to be.

Tick tock, With a kind, soft smile and beautiful navy blue eyes that draw everyone in, he carries out his duties well and on time. He manages everything perfectly and humbly. After his school responsibilities, he would go home to his home and help out with their sweets shop. Customers adore him and often ask about his school and such, which he also entertains with. His brother Mitsuki would also sometimes ask for his input for their new menus and let him do a taste test with something he's experimenting with. He then goes up to his room after helping with the shop to do his remaining homework. Shutting the door of his room, his bright smile is now replaced with a frown, and his bright eyes lose all of their shine. He placed the rabbit keychain he got from his classmate earlier on his desk and looked at it with no emotion. Roppu-chan was it? One of the characters in the popular mascots, Usamimi Friends. At least that's what he heard of. Something about it made his stomach sick, not that he is having some stomach problems because he's surely always 100% healthy. But it feels unsettling just looking at the cute mascot keychain. Wanting to get rid of that feeling, he hid the keychain somewhere he won't find. It's easier actually if he could've just thrown it away, but for some reason, his hands moved on their own and locked it up in one of his cabinets.

Looking at the time, the boy sat down in front of his computer and turned it on, wearing his headphones he grabbed the mouse and clicked the call button on his screen.

"Oh,Ichi-chan's here!" greeted by a cheerful voice

"Hi there Ichi!" followed by another

"Hello Terra-san, Momorin-san" he replied

"Yuki's almost done with the new song~ I heard some parts of it earlier and it sounds great!" Said by the one named momorin

"I can't wait to hear it! I wonder what kind of illustrations I'll do for it~" the one named terra replied

"Fufu, You seem full of energy today terra-san" The raven-haired chuckled

"The truth is, I passed one of my exams today! And I kinda had an inspiration from things I saw today so I wonder how it'll look if I use it as an input for work!" the other voice answered

"Hahaha! Terra-chan sure is motivated today huh!"

Those two were always loud in his opinion, nonetheless, it's not like he cares anyway. They were all strangers and seems that they get along well.

A new profile bubble popped up in their call together with their name, Yuki indicating that the person they're waiting for entered the voice chat

"I'm sorry for the delay, I got stuck up in the last part trying to figure out how to make it sound better" The newcomer's profile glowed green as he talks

"I also just got here so It's fine Yuki-san, more importantly, is the new song done?" Iori asked

"Yeah, Got troubled halfway but it was all worth it, I'll send the data on our shared cloud" Yuki replied, seconds later they all received notifications in their mails. Iori clicked their folder and found the recently uploaded data which is a music file. He clicked the play button and a beautiful warm melody traveled in his ears. It made him feel something he couldn't quite understand and before he knew it, that feeling immediately disappeared and vanished.

It's still the same again huh,

"How was it?" The composer asked

"Thanks for your hard work yuki-san, I think this song is great" He commented ' Almost made me feel something '

"It's great Yuki-san! The melody is really soothing and warm! Uhhh I don't really know how to exactly explain it,," The one named terra said

"I get you! I get youuu! It's like comforting you but at the same time, you're overwhelmed with such emotions! It's really great yuki! I can't wait to start working on it!" one of the user's profile pic with the name Momorin glowed Fuschia pink as he commented

"Fufu~ I'm glad if you felt that way, how about you Ichi-kun? You think you can create the lyrics corresponding to what the song conveys?" Yuki asked rather playfully, contrasting to his earlier tired voice when he entered

"I'm pretty much sure I'll be able to express what your song conveys Yuki-san, also thanks to Terra-san and Momorin-san's comments, I think I can find the right words to use, I'll do my best" He answered politely. Well, all he needs to do is to write the lyrics that correspond to the song's atmosphere.

"I think I have a gist of what the illustration would look like! I'll be drawing a draft and sending it, later on, so Let me know what you think of it, Ichi! I want the illustrations to also match with the lyrics after all" Another user profile glowed red with the name Terra

"Of course Terra-san, I'll also be writing a pre-draft of the lyrics' flow, I hope it could be of help" He answered

"Thanks! That'll help a lot!,also, I think I'll have to mute it now since I'll start working on it" The other boy said

"Sure terra-chan! I also found new cool and cute materials so I'll be trying them up and see if they can be used!" Momorin replied

"I'll also be working on the lyrics now that Yuki-san completed the song, now if you'll excuse me, I'll also be muting myself" Iori announced

"See you later Ichi-kun, Terra-kun" Yuki bid goodbye

The raven-haired boy clicked the mute button and opened another tab to start writing. Comforting and warm huh . He wondered if he felt the same way too. He listened to the song again, seeing if he'll feel it again. But as he clicked the play button, the beautiful melody once again enticed his ears but in the end the same thing that he felt earlier was no longer there. For him, it was only a plain song. He clutched his chest why? Every time he feels something it immediately disappears like it just slipped past him. When will he ever stop going through this? He looked at himself in his screen's reflection, he was nothing like the Izumi Iori that all know. The Iori that has it all, the Iori that can do it all, The smart, sharp, cool, kind, and perfect boy that they see. Right now all he can see in that translucent reflection of himself is a boy with empty dead eyes.

He sighed and went on to do his part.

                               It's not like someone actually cares nor sees anyway.
