Track 009 || Jan 27

[Shin's looking pale, drawn, and a bit thin, not to mention generally depressed. His voice is a little shaky as well, but he's trying to put on a smile for the network.]

Hey.

I'm Shin, a guitarist. I know some of you own businesses. I'm looking for anywhere that might like to hire some live music.

[His smile falters,] More importantly... I'm going to play some music for Youske's... [He just trails off. The people this concerns will know what he means.] If anyone has any music they know he'd like, let me know? Specific songs work too. I have an idea already, but... [He sighs and turns off the feed. Answering anyone who replies is going to be tiring enough.]

Play the acoustic version of "Layla."

[Not because Yousuke would have wanted to hear it. Mostly because L wants to hear it.]

I dunno how well Layla fits in the genre of music Yosuke liked.

Hm. It seems that no venue or occasion is right for this song.

[Because a funeral is just a venue, and a death is just an occasion...]

Any other venue or occasion is fine now that I have the equipment. [Shin's holding back annoyance. This is the funeral of his best friend here.]

[Shockingly, no one in Death City is flinging sensitivity awards in L's general direction.]

Let me know when you're performing it somewhere else, then, will you?

[As soon as this other thing is out of the way.]

[Man, what sorts of things were playing on those headphones, anyway? It made Kanji realize just how much he didn't know about his senpai. But still...]

What'd you have in mind?

The Smiths, for one. He listened to them a lot. He liked some other classics that I know, so some of those too. I got the music for some indie things he listened to as well. I didn't know all the bands he'd listen to. His tastes were all over, so I thought someone else might know some of the music I'm not as familiar with.

[There was plenty Shin didn't know about Yosuke, but they bonded over music pretty easily. They were always talking about what other songs they should cover.]

Sounds like you got a good plan. [Indie, huh...? Should he be surprised?]

There any sound equipment you'd need?

[Because feelings. She wasn't even close enough to Yosuke to really call him a friend, but Kurt was, and he's gone now. It's like her own world disappeared with them.]

I don't know what kind of music he was into, but if you need someone to sing...

[Shin forced another smile and left it on video since he didn't feel like changing the settings.] That would be nice. I'm sure he'd appreciate it.

I can come up with some songs anyway, if you want.

Yeah...

I've got a few songs in mind already. Some of them were things we were going to play together in the future.

[ATTACHMENT: Songs for Yosuke]

I'll listen through them.

Thanks.

Are you all right, Shin?

...Yeah. [No.]

[It occurs to her belatedly that she should have filtered this. She goes to do that before speaking again...]

...you don't sound all right.

[Shin takes a minute to reply.]

I never thought...

The whole war thing never seemed completely real. But he was out there, risking his life.

I only played music and complained.

No one ever expects these things to happen. [Said gently because it's true. You never expect people around you to disappear even when you know there's a chance they will. Deep in your heart, you don't really believe it.]

...do you want some company?
