MEKAKUSHI CHORD

The water softly coursed down my body, lapping at each and every curve. It was the shower I had longed for ever since early this morning, but I never expected it under these circumstances.     Here I was, in a shadowy organization’s secret base, myself and my phone covered in hot tea, deluged with apologies all the way to the bathroom.     It sounds all the more strange when put into text form. I suppose truth really is stranger than fiction…or a TV drama script.     Once out of the shower, I returned to the main room, wiping my hair dry. TheF three of them turned toward me for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.     The old clock hung on the wall ticked away, its pendulum swinging back and forth.     It was just past eleven thirty in the morning.     “Hey, thanks for lending me these clothes and everything…”     “Nah, nah. This was our fault in the first place. But, man, what ...

AFTERWORD

“Too Terrible to Look At”      Hello. JIN speaking.      Did you enjoy Kagerou Daze 2: A Headphone Actor ?      This novel was written in the middle of summer, with the temperature outside never going below the upper eighties—not unlike the story setting I was writing about. Of course, I had the AC set to seventy-three degrees and gorged myself on pizza throughout the project, but the point remains.      I apologize for leeching off everyone at the office in the meantime.      Which reminds me. In the afterword to my previous novel, Kagerou Daze: In a Daze , I wrote something along the lines of “If this winds up being a flop, I’ll have to write a school romance/comedy next!” Luckily, thanks to all of you, the response I received for that book exceeded all expectations.
