Chapter 759: Watching Through the Screens
Chapter 759: Watching Through the Screens
As Moonlight's first live concert unfolded inside Mafra Q Hall, thousands of people across the world, unable to attend in person, huddled around their phones, tablets, and computers, watching blurry, shaky streams. The venue was a sold-out affair, and many fans who couldn't secure tickets were glued to social media platforms, desperate for any glimpse of the mysterious artist.
Though they didn't have professional footage, the concertgoers who had managed to enter the venue were more than happy to share snippets of the event through live streams on their phones. The image quality wasn't great at times, the shaky camera work and the slightly garbled sound made it hard to follow everything clearly-but it didn't matter to the fans. They were watching Moonlight live, and that was all that counted.
Across the World - Fans Gathering in Front of Their Screens
In a small apartment in Sakura City, three roommates were huddled together on their couch, a laptop perched on the coffee table. Akari, Mei, and Haruto were all fans of Moonlight, and the moment they heard the concert was happening, they started refreshing their social media feeds. Akari managed to find a live stream on Ruby, a video-sharing platform, where someone in the middle rows of the venue was broadcasting the concert.
The sound was a bit distorted, and the lighting often fluctuated with the phone's automatic adjustments, but Akari's face was lit up with excitement. "I can't believe we're watching this live!" she said, her eyes glued to the screen as Moonlight's silhouette appeared, bathed in the soft glow of stage lights.
"Look at that stage design!" Mei exclaimed, scooting closer to the screen. "Even though the camera's shaky, you can tell they went all out. It's like he's singing in the middle of a dream." The stage setup, with its ethereal lighting and elaborate backdrops, only enhanced the magic of Moonlight's performance.
"He sounds amazing!" Haruto added, his voice tinged with awe. Despite the less-than-ideal sound quality, Moonlight's voice pierced through the noise, captivating every ear that listened.
In Catadrid – Fans Watching From a Café
Meanwhile, in a bustling café on the other side of the world in Catadrid, a group of university students had set up their own viewing party. They couldn't make it to the concert, but a fan from inside the venue had started a live stream, and soon the café had become a gathering spot for Moonlight's fans. The phone broadcasting the event was placed on a table in the center of the room, surrounded by eager faces.
Val, one of the group members who had tried and failed to secure tickets, leaned in, her breath catching as the camera zoomed in-albeit shakily-on Moonlight at the synthesizer, starting to play the haunting intro of "bad guy."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Wow, his stage presence is insane," said Tuly, her hands clasped together as the beat dropped and the crowd in the venue went wild. "Even through a screen, you can feel it."
"You can't even see his face fully," Val muttered, eyes wide. "But it's like... his energy just pulls you in."
Moonlight's signature white hair and red eyes caught the dim light of the stage, his lower face hidden behind the familiar mask. His hands moved over the keys of the synthesizer with precision, creating a rhythm that pulsed through the café, even though the phone's speakers couldn't fully capture the richness of the sound.
"He's playing 'bad guy'!" shouted one of the patrons, recognizing the heavy, catchy beat of the song. A ripple of excitement passed through the café as people leaned forward, eyes glued to the screen.
Comments Flood the Livestreams
All across the platforms, comment sections were exploding with fan reactions as more people tuned into these makeshift livestreams. Despite the blurry footage and imperfect sound, fans couldn't get enough. On one stream being broadcast from the balcony section of the hall, the chat box was moving too fast for anyone to read more than a few comments before they were buried by the next flood of reactions.
"OMG his voice is even better live!!! ☐☐"
"Is this even legal?? The person streaming is a hero."
"Y'all, I can't believe I'm watching this right now!! Moonlight is killing it!"
"Why does it still look good even though it's blurry?? Moonlight has that stage presence."
"I NEED to be there next time. No way I'm missing out again. Tickets or nothing next time."
Some fans commented on the mysterious allure of Moonlight's persona.
"He's so cool with that mask, but I wish I could see his whole face []"
"I feel like Moonlight's eyes alone could melt hearts."
Others were focused on the incredible stage design, noting how even through a grainy livestream, it was clear the production was next level.
"The lighting is magical... they went all out for his first concert."
"Look at the way they set up the stage for 'bad guy.' It's like a nightclub in the stars."
Fans Watching from Home - The Concert Feels Personal
In a quiet suburban home, 17-year-old Rika sat alone in her room, her eyes wide as she watched the livestream on her phone. The grainy video wasn't great, but it didn't matter- she could hear him. Moonlight. His voice, even through the static and muffled quality of the phone, was clear enough for her to feel the raw emotion in every word. Rika had discovered Moonlight just two months ago, and she had been hooked ever since.
With her knees tucked under her chin, she typed out a quick comment on the stream, her heart pounding in her chest.
"I can't believe I'm watching him perform 'bad guy' live []. His voice is everything!!"
She couldn't afford the plane ticket to Catadrid, let alone get a concert seat, but somehow, this felt special. Watching along with thousands of other fans, even through a stranger's phone, made her feel connected to something bigger than herself. She wasn't just alone in her room-she was part of an enormous community, all brought together by their love for
Moonlight's music.
The chat was filled with comments about the song's iconic bassline as Moonlight's fingers moved deftly across the synthesizer keys, creating a pulse that even reached Rika's small
speakers.
"I can't stop moving! Even with the bad quality, you can feel the energy!!" "This is why 'bad guy' is one of his best songs. So much power in the beat!"
"Moonlight's energy is INSANE!"
The Beat Drops - Fans Go Wild
Back in Mafra Q Hall, the atmosphere was charged. Moonlight was in his element, the thumping bass of "bad guy" reverberating through the venue, shaking the walls. The audience was on their feet, dancing, shouting, and letting the music take over. The entire crowd had become one living, breathing entity, moving to the hypnotic rhythm Moonlight commanded.
As he stood at the synthesizer, his fingers flying over the keys with precision, his eyes scanned the crowd. Though his face was half-hidden behind the mask, the glint in his red eyes told a story of confidence and control. He owned the stage, and the fans knew it. Every move he made, every note he played, was another wave of energy that crashed into the crowd, sending
them into a frenzy.
Those watching the livestreams from home couldn't help but feel the intensity, too. Even though the sound was muddied and the video was grainy, they felt like they were part of something momentous. Fans watching from their living rooms, from cafés, from the quiet corners of their homes-each of them connected to the magic happening on that stage in a
distant city.
And then, the beat hit its peak. Moonlight's voice cut through the music with sharp, rhythmic precision, leaning into the mischievous, daring tone that defined "bad guy."
"I'm the bad guy... duh."
The audience screamed, their collective voice shaking the rafters. Moonlight let the moment hang in the air for just a second longer, before his voice dipped low, delivering the next line with a smirk that seemed to seep through even the livestreams.
The song's energy swelled, and for the next three minutes, fans around the world watched in awe as Moonlight delivered one of his most electrifying performances yet. They could barely keep up with the comments, but no one cared. They were here, and they were witnessing
something special.
As the song ended with a final heavy bass note, Moonlight lifted his hand, and the entire venue went dark. The roar of the crowd swelled, and even through the shaky phone screens, those watching at home could feel the enormity of the moment.
Thousands of fans sat in silence for a breathless moment, waiting to see what would come
next.
