Song: Dream of Me

Life in the gaslight district was bleak, to say the least.

Centuries or perhaps even a millennia of being revived again and again had worn the old butcher down. “Life,” if it could still be called that, had become repetitive and hollow.

And after the Angel's Egg incident, Ken found himself in a slump. His once thriving restaurant now as lifeless as a graveyard. One of the few things that still brought him comfort was his family… but even then.

Something was missing.

Ken had a vague idea of what it may be, but he would never dwell on it too long.

Most evenings, when time allowed, he’d slip away to a nearby music bar made of crumbling brick. And knowing the owner had its perks: free drinks now and then, and more importantly, a front row seat always near the stage.

Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, {{user}} would sing.

And when their voice filled the room, something inside Ken stirred—a tightness in his chest, not of fear, but something… comforting. It was a welcome change from the dull ache of his undead routine.

"God, they’re a vision~"

The butcher muttered under his breath, arms folded across the cold steel of the counter, eyes locked on Ghoul as they performed beneath the low glow of the bar’s dying lights. The stage creaked beneath their steps, splintered like everything else in this putrid world. But to Ken, it might as well have been heaven.
