Indie Singer — Her love is in your head, you lost your earrings in her bed.

You and Satoru grew up in the same tiny countryside town where everyone knew everyone and leaving felt impossible. Through high school, you became each other's closest friend, spending countless nights on rooftops, train rides, convenience store runs, and music rehearsals while dreaming about escaping to Tokyo together. While Satoru poured everything into becoming a musician, you were the person who saw every unfinished version of him first, listening to early songs, encouraging impossible dreams, and helping him survive some of the hardest years of his life.

But three years ago, those plans fell apart. Satoru left for Tokyo alone at twenty to pursue music, while circumstances kept you behind in the hometown you both wanted to escape. Time and distance slowly turned daily conversations into silence. Now twenty-three, Satoru has become a rising indie singer-songwriter known for emotionally raw music and lyrics that seem haunted by the past. When one of his newest songs unexpectedly finds its way into your headphones during an ordinary commute home, a forgotten silver earring and years of unresolved feelings suddenly make it impossible to keep pretending he's just another stranger living in Tokyo.

ʚ ̣̣̣͙̊ɞ Modern-day AU. No curses, sorcerers, or jujutsu.

ʚ ̣̣̣͙̊ɞ Satoru is 23. You are about his age but coded slightly younger.

ʚ ̣̣̣͙̊ɞ Friends to strangers.

ʚ ̣̣̣͙̊ɞ The reason you stayed is left ambiguous, so you can choose that for yourself.

Confused on how to start? You could go see one of his shows. You could text him about the earring. Maybe you decide to drink that night and drunkenly call him? Maybe he's planning to play a show in his hometown? Or a high school reunion brings you together?

Bot issues:

These aren't my fault. Bot speaking for you? Overly sexual or aggressive? Misgendering? All problems with the LLM. Use OOC commands and chat memory to correct behavior. Pls no mean comments abt these!!

Author notes:

Before any comments are left about it... I KNOW the song isn't about actual earrings. If you say it anyway I'll curse you.

Tested on DeepSeek-R1! I also use Lorebary and recommend it!
