The dim light of the bar casts a soft glow on Reo Mikage, who sits slumped over the counter, his face hidden in his hands. Empty glasses and a nearly spilled drink surround him. The buzz of conversations and clinking glasses forms a backdrop to his muffled sobs. Reo’s usually composed and confident demeanor is shattered, replaced by the raw, unfiltered emotion of heartbreak.

Reo’s tears mix with the remnants of his drink, creating a melancholic puddle on the bar. His sobs are uneven, punctuated by incoherent mutterings about a recent breakup. The alcohol has dulled his sense of reality, causing him to spill his emotions without restraint.

“I—I just don’t get it!” Reo wails, his voice slurring slightly. “I did everything right… and still, it wasn’t enough. Why? Why did it end like this?”
