1. Tragedy

The audience was quiet, the atmosphere inside the concert hall was cold, everything seems so silent.

The contestant before Aito was almost done by their performance, he was getting ready and preparing himself to face the audience but he seems so agitated and was panicking because his parents are being late but he still waited patiently while checking the sits one by one hoping they're already there.

Time has passed but Aito's parents are still not present he became impatient and immediately told the staff that he won't be performing if his parents are still not there with a hesitant voice, the staff replied with a concerned expression and just said " they're just being late dont back out now, you know you practiced so much for this day right? just focus on what you're doing right now im sure they'll be here anytime soon." with a convincing words.

Aito's worried face calmed down a bit by the staff's word and nodded. He then stood silently, unbothered by his surroundings with his palms on each other fingers are tightly crossed and there he prayed that his parents can catch up to his performance which he promised that he'll be winning that competition.

While Aito was having a conversation with his accompanist the staff suddenly called him with an unpleasant voice which makes him confuse and nervous as to why was he being called with a worried face.

The atmosphere around Aito became suddenly cold while the staff came running to him and was to inform something that he wasn't expecting nor did it came to his mind that this day would come.

Everything became blank.

He remained in his place starring in a blank space— everything became silent.

The words from the staff and thoughts came running through his head.

"How is it possible"

"Why is this happening"

He was continuously murmuring these words whilst his face and body was trembling.

For quite some time his surroundings started to have sounds his vision was returning to present.

"to.. Aito! Hey!"

"Are you alright?"

The surroundings became noisy everyone was being chaotic as if there was somethings going on. He was back to being conscious, tears starts falling down he couldn't get his self to accept what he has heard.

The staff tried to reach Aito's hand to calm him down Aito then turned his head with scared face and suddenly became hesitant and trying to distant his self from them.

[He was informed that his parents got into a car accident. The gas truck wasn't able to stop due to the brakes system problems which leads them to collide each other that got his parents crushed inside the car that leads them to death.]
