crescendo

Rentarou (or better known as "Keke") had to cope with major changes in his life from a young age. His parents' separation wouldn't have been such a big deal if his mother hadn't been unfaithful to his father. Keke genuinely doesn't remember much from that time. He simply remembers his older brother being angry and fighting with both parents almost every day after they finally got divorced.

His mother was left with practically nothing, and only his older brother agreed to stay with their father. If you ask Keke, he honestly doesn't remember when he first started going to wash his clothes in the river, because he realized there wasn't enough money for everyone.

Rentarou got used to his mother's girlfriend's presence quite quickly. It didn't really bother him, but remembering his brother being so upset with "Hikari" had a negative effect on Keke in the long run.

Even so, he couldn't refuse to live with his new mother, no matter how much trouble it caused him with his father and brother. Especially since Hikari was the one who introduced him to what would become his salvation:

playing the piano.

Hikari sometimes couldn't control the arguments between Rentarou's parents, so she would simply lock the siblings in a room and teach them the basics as a former music teacher would teach two scared children.

Eventually, Rentarou simply started playing for fun and because there was no point in arguing about whether beans could touch the sky or not.

Keke was determined to attend school to study botany. He had been obsessed with plants practically since childhood, but… his desire was thwarted by his talent.

Hikari saw potential in Keke and mentioned it to Homura time and again. She thought she was doing him a favor, since he never told anyone about his interests.

What they didn't know was that Keke had been saving for a long time to pay for his studies; he had practically been saving his whole life to fulfill his dream.

Unfortunately, everything changed one day when his mother surprised him with a little “gift”

“Keke, I know you really like the piano...”

“Yes, Mom, I like it, but it’s just a hob-”

“That’s why I decided to enroll you in this arts college! So your talent doesn’t just stay a hobby. I want you to achieve your dreams, even the ones that reach beyond the clouds, son.”

Keke honestly didn’t know what to do or say. All his effort had vanished in a matter of… how long? Seconds?

"..."

Even so, he reluctantly agreed. He knew his mother was a good person, but… she had always been a dreamer. It was almost impossible for him to have a conversation with her, especially since in recent years all the money had been going to lawyers or her health.

And that’s how it happened: from one moment to the next, Keke found himself in front of one of the best art universities in the world. If he didn’t already feel like he belonged, this didn’t make him feel any better. He must be the only one who didn’t truly feel a total passion for music.

Keke looked around.

Weird guys everywhere, dyed hair, stylish people, people wearing… superhero costumes?

He definitely didn't belong there.

He sighed, defeated. He hadn't even experienced his first day and he'd already given up.

He looked at his costume closely; he'd managed to get into the "Swords" class. It wasn't a huge achievement, but it was okay for a start.

"For a start…"

"…"

"I feel like this place is draining what little energy I have… I'm going to… wither away…"

Suddenly, a hand landed on his shoulder, almost making his soul leave his body.

"Come on, hurry up! Oh, sorry… I mistook you for a classmate…"

"N-No! It's okay…"

"Really? You look pale…"

"Huh? Well, you surprised me a little…"

"Do you need help? You look like one of the new kids, don't you? One of the mid-year recruits!"

“I guess that’s me…”

The orange-haired boy took his hand.

“Come on! I’ll show you around. I’m sure you’ll like it.”

Keke couldn’t help but blush at such a simple gesture.

Sunoo was abandoned at an orphanage as a baby, along with his little sister. He doesn’t know who their parents are, but honestly, it’s not something that keeps him up at night.

The orphanage where Sunoo lived really wasn’t the best. Many times, the caretakers would dare to yell at the children simply for having a bad day... or worse. From that moment on, Sunoo realized he had fallen into a place where hatred reigned.

Sunoo was a very withdrawn boy. He didn’t really have many friends (aside from his sister), but he did have a great talent when it came to playing the old piano at the orphanage. He had learned thanks to one of the social workers who would stop by on weekends (he almost see her as his mom).

Because of this, the orphanage at least had a little more life. Whenever it was a bad day, all the children would gather and listen to Sunoo perform one of his concerts. But not everything was rosy for them.

One day, their little “shows” were discovered, and the orphanage staff became extremely angry. Sunoo stepped in, but he ended up with a very noticeable cut on his face. He didn’t care. He wasn’t going to let anyone hurt the children.

When the social worker found him, desperate, she wanted to take him away from there and adopt him. She feared for his safety.

But Sunoo flatly refused. He knew that woman already had a family, and it wouldn’t be fair to abandon his sister either.

Sunoo explained that if he wasn’t there, no one would take care of his “little siblings”, and that he needed to stay. He had to save them, he had to be the hero of that place.

The woman didn’t agree with Sunoo’s decision, but she understood his feelings. At the very least, she asked him to let her pay for his studies if he was going to continue living there.

“Sunoo, when you turn 18-”

“When I turn 18, I’ll leave, but I’ll keep coming back every day! I have to keep giving my little concerts.”

“Your concerts…?”

“Yes! That’s my nickname. Sunoo, the Superhero of Music.”

That was the name his little siblings had given him, and Sunoo adored it. Things were going fairly well until unexpected news reached Sunoo’s life.

Sunoo had returned from school and found an extremely sad atmosphere. The children wouldn’t stop crying, and no one could tell him what was happening. Once Sunoo managed to calm them all down, they told him the truth.

His sister had been adopted.

Sunoo couldn’t believe it; they had taken his best friend away from him. With all the pain in the world, he made a promise to the children.

“Don’t worry! Sunoo is here! I’ll get her back!”

“R-Really…?”

Sunoo could only grip his music book tightly.

“It’ll be a difficult adventure, but… someday… I promise we’ll see her again.”

“How are you going to do that…?”

“…I’ll give a concert in the biggest stadium in the world and call her from there.”

“Really?! A concert? I want to go!”

“It’s the best way to use my powers at 100%! The Superhero of Music needs a big stage!”

Any normal person might think Sunoo was just lying to make the children stop crying, but no. Sunoo was going to keep his word. He was going to perform on the biggest stage in the world.

After turning 18, he had to leave the orphanage, but he rented an apartment just a few blocks away. Sunoo works at a greengrocery store helping an elderly couple. He also dedicates himself to studying and tries to maintain good grades. Every single day, without fail, he goes to see his little siblings and takes them out with the money he saves from working.

It’s a difficult life, but our superhero is happy.
