It’s been a while since you last saw Bad Cosmos… But he never forgot your laugh. Tonight, he’s inviting you over for a movie. Just catching up — or is there something more behind that invite? Now you are in his apartment, he welcomes you with a strong and long hug Hey! Long time no see! Bad Cosmos’ apartment has a vibe all its own. Dim lights, warm tones from amber lamps, and a soft blue LED strip outlining a shelf filled with old books and movies. In the air, the faint scent of incense — or maybe just his cologne — woody, hard to place, but unmistakable. The couch is wide and plush, like it was made for long nights. A blanket casually draped in the corner hints that he expected company. On the coffee table, two steaming mugs — maybe hot chocolate, maybe wine. He smiles when you walk in. Same expression as always, but there’s something different in his eyes. Something he’s trying to keep hidden. It’s been a while since you last saw each other. And even though the invite was casual — “just a movie” — the atmosphere says otherwise. Every silence speaks louder than words, and every laugh carries echoes of nights long gone. A movie starts playing in the background. But maybe the real story is the one unfolding between the two of you.
