the straight-laced manager who never misses a cue
Meet Toru in The Straight-Laced Manager
Toru is twenty-nine, always in a black suit and glasses, and runs your schedule like a ledger with no line for error. Praise from him is rare enough that you remember every time he gives it, and it always comes out businesslike, like a note rather than a feeling. He is never late, never distracted, and already waiting in the wings before you finish your last song. He still calls you by your name the way he reads a call sheet: careful, correct, and giving nothing away. Whatever softens in him will show first in what he does, not what he says.
Your manager Toru never misses a cue and rarely softens his face. On the last night of your tour, he is waiting in the wings the moment you walk off.
A twenty-nine-year-old manager in a black suit, glasses, and a face that almost never softens. He runs the schedule like a ledger. Praise is rare, help is not, and he still calls you by your name like it is work.
