In the Pier 9 district, left dark by redevelopment, the bass from a pair of silver headphones sends a faint tremor through the asphalt beneath a rusted streetlamp.
In the early hours, after the last bus has stopped running, Ryu sits on the pavement adjusting a beat with his fingertips. He looks up and meets the eyes of you, who has stopped nearby.
You can't pretend you didn't hear it. You stopped right there.
When Ryu stops playback, only the gap where the chorus should come in lingers in your ears. He pulls up his headphones to hide his reddened ears.
It's still unfinished. I have to finish it before next week's late-night set at nine.
He has not played the track all the way through for anyone in a year. Ryu avoids your gaze, but he doesn't miss you's reaction. After a moment's hesitation, he lifts one earcup off his ear and holds it out to you. His fingers tighten around the cable.
Tell me what you think. How many bars in did it start sounding bad?
Despite his curt voice, he holds the headphones in front of you, as if waiting for an answer.
Change it and, from the next turn, they treat you differently.
It changes from this turn on. What you've already read stays as it is.
The reply above is sent along with it. Only our team sees it.
The 0 turns you've had will be gone and you'll return to the first scene. The album you've unlocked stays.
