CLOSED STARTER from the perspective of ZAKIR SETHUPATHI ( rapper / interpreter / informant - - associated with The Golden Tears ) for HEART SRISEVOK ( @citiesborn )
As a rapper - and up-and-coming star - Zakir found it much easier to roam between the neighbourhoods of New Jakarta without getting the wrong kind of attention - even if he still worried about it. Now that Sora was no longer under a curfew, Zakir had made sure to visit Nexos the first night he didn't have a show.
He showed his face here constantly, among the city's partying elite. Either he'd get some shows out of it, some clout, or he'd pick up conversations that would serve his employer from the Golden Tears well.
With a huge smile he ordered his regular - a drink with zero percent alcohol but that smelled of it anyway - and found himself soon in company of the place's owner. Her elegant appearance always easy to spot, moving through the space with determination. He could only respect such attitude. "I hope the club didn't loose too much during the curfew," he said, with genuine concern.
