ALVARO MOREAU
Josh Whitehouse.❝ A fascinating arrangement of atoms, indeed. ❞
An intrinsic obsession with music — this was enough to make it into a lifelong dedication. Alvaro had always been immensely passionate about his art; his musical talents have led him to adopt a wonderful — yet reasonably chaotic — lifestyle. Working as a university music lecturer in Valencia, his direct approach and demeanour allow him to flawlessly inspire his students into furthering their musical talents and endeavours. Although he is impeccably gifted, not only with his artistic talents, his personality differs from those that he deems as 'abnormally normal'. He is an estranged man — one who lives his life on a whim. There is a certain pandemonium within him. He is messy, rushed, quick and jumbled — 'a beautiful mess', as his devoted wife had once lovingly described him. His chaotic personality birthed an unparalleled sense of witty and charismatic humour to him, which aided him in his dedicated pursuit to charm his beautiful 'love', and to make her his.

MISUMI MOREAU
Lin Chi-Ling.❝ Kindness & patience heal the soul. ❞
In the vernal embrace of spring, the Hayashi family rejoiced at the birth of Misumi, an embodiment of enduring beauty and wisdom. Her innate spiritual and vocal enchantment became the cornerstone of an illustrious career in theatre opera, graciously endorsed by her proud family. Her voice became the incarnate melody of femininity, tender and nurturing, resonating with the dulcet tones of a cello's caress. Its timbre held the soothing whispers of twilight; gentle yet underlined with an undeniable strength that whispered of ancient lullabies and the subtle power of the nurturing heart. To Alvaro, her allure surpassed the bounds of appearance. It dwelled in the mellow timbre of her voice, the peerless depths of her intellect, and the captivating charm of her extraordinary persona. Each facet, intertwined, wove the exquisite tapestry of the most incomparable woman to grace the annals of human history. In the depths of her heart, she cherished her lover, yet her family held deep reservations about the Spaniard, branding him as 'undesirable' and 'unsuitable' for their daughter. Despite such a barrier, their passionate love only flourished further.

ANDANTE MOREAU
Kim Taehyung.❝ Home is the person your heart forever longs for. ❞
Adorned with mesmerising raven eyes, and bedecked with beautiful noir curls that elegantly cascade down to the nape of his neck, Andante possesses a physique that rivals even the most exquisitely sculpted Greek statues. He is a testament to the most exquisite fruit of his parents' impassioned love and longing. The legacy of their musical talents finds continuity in their children, of which Andante stands as a prime exemplar. Imbued with the reverent teachings of his parents, he mastered the art of the violin while shrouding his siren-like voice in a veil of enigmatic secrecy. With a profound, deep resonance, his voice possesses a husky tone that flows as smoothly as the most delicate silk, carrying with it a serene sensuality and a melodic sweetness. His amorous nature is what truly distinguishes him, frequently succumbing to his romantic fantasies and envisioning love through an unattainable, rose-tinted lens. His desire for romantic pursuits has driven him to explore poetry, endeavouring in a passionate pursuit that intricately intertwines with his enigmatic longings. Hence, one cannot deny: he is unequivocally a hopeless romantic, forever entwined in the ineffable mysteries and yearnings of love._______________________________________________
KATSUMI MOREAU
Jeon HeeJin.❝ Morning joy is when you're up at 12 pm with a vape & coffee in hand. ❞
With an unrestrained spirit as unruly as the tumultuous, unyielding sea amidst a relentless hurricane, Katsumi epitomises all that commands fear. Her allure, a beauty so extraordinary that it would provoke envy in the most splendid of women, stands as one of the most formidable aspects of her character. Falling for one possessing such fervour, unbridled nature, and detached demeanour transpires as a foray into disaster. Despite her resolute aversion to romantic endeavours, she inherits her father's witty sense of humour, determination, and industrious spirit, harmonised with her mother's intelligence and strict nurturance. A resolute workaholic, she perennially seeks tasks to conquer, stemming from an unyielding desire to achieve in almost every physical pursuit. Her tireless determination extends to her caregiving disposition, manifesting in her attentive stewardship of her siblings and, at times, even her parents, as a testament to her undivided dedication and loyalty to her family.

GLORIA MOREAU
Jang WonYoung.❝ A big smile goes a long way! ❞
In a world as cruel and unforgiving as ours, an angel descended from the ethereal heavens. Her innocence, a purity so unblemished and surreal, possessed the power to weaken even the cruellest of men at heart. Gloria, a dainty and adoring little sweetheart, harbours but one ambition: to impart joy and light to those in her life. She embodies the very essence of preciousness, reflecting the creativity of her older brother, a dearly admired figure. Her flowery smiles harmonise with her endearing and affectionate persona, imbued with a purity and vibrancy as sweet as crystalline honey. She often relishes in her most cherished pursuits, which consist of gathering dew-kissed flowers, pursuing luminescent fireflies, tending to helpless hummingbirds, and entertaining the dear bumblebees that flit about her mother's resplendent garden — is to partake in the purest symphony of adorableness. Her own sister, no stranger to icy reserve, has succumbed to the irresistible charm of Gloria, describing her as "the very epitome of cuteness." Undoubtedly, she stands as the most adoring and benevolent soul that the world has had the fortune to witness. -

Every whisper of creativity is an invitation to voyage into the vast realms of the unknown. In this boundless landscape, true success demands an unswerving commitment to breach every frontier and embrace the uncharted. This philosophy had become the cornerstone of Alvaro's identity as a musician and educator. His vantage point in the world of music was not merely as a practitioner but as a visionary who saw potential symphonies in every corner of existence. It was with this fervent belief that he approached the distinguished headmaster of the Universitat de València, intent on securing sponsorship for an international journey of discovery for his students. For Alvaro, music was not confined to bars and notes; it was a universal language that whispered through cultures, danced across the hearts of people, and even wove itself into the fabric of diverse ways of life. To him, sharing music was tantamount to sharing dreams, hopes, and the silent stories that connect humanity across time and space.
❛ Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything. ❜
— Plato.
He was convinced that if the melodies of the world were harmonised, peace and unity would follow in their orchestral wake. With this vision shimmering before him, Alvaro approached his cause with the fervour of a symphony's crescendo. Countless proposals, impassioned discourses, and tenacious meetings marked his crusade. The headmaster, initially a bastion of scepticism, gradually found his resolve swaying under the weight of Alvaro's relentless passion. Eventually, the headmaster acquiesced, agreeing to underwrite the ambitious excursion. Yet, all dreams come tethered to conditions—the agreement bore a stipulation as stern as a maestro's baton. By the end of the academic year, Alvaro was tasked with a monumental challenge: orchestrate an achievement wherein no fewer than 95% of his proteges demonstrated mastery over their musical disciplines by successfully passing their examinations. The stakes were formidable; to succeed was to ascend to new heights of educational excellence. But to falter? That meant Alvaro would need to relinquish his cherished position, stepping away from the very stage he had dedicated his life to conducting.
❝ Well... I suppose we have a deal. However, bear in mind, headmaster. You know me all too well - I am not one to easily succumb to unsuccessful endeavours. Whether I, you, the students, or the school pigeons, like it or not: you will be proven wrong. ❞
With an unwavering determination to validate the chaotic wisdom of his philosophies, Alvaro accepted the headmaster's stringent terms graciously. That fateful morning, he emerged from the headmaster's office with urgency in his steps, his collection of folders and assignments tightly clutched against his chest with one arm. In his haste, he descended the staircase with speed, indifferent to the cascade of papers escaping his grasp, for he was fortified by a plan. Throughout the painstaking weeks he spent seeking the headmaster's approval, Alvaro had already reached out to an old comrade from his formative years of musical study: Saito Haruto. Haruto, an international student who crossed paths with Alvaro at the University of Valencia two decades prior, shared Alvaro's boundless passion and visionary ideologies. Together, they viewed the world through a shared lens, animated by their mutual desires and dreams. They were quick-witted, reckless, and driven, propelled by an unyielding determination to realise their lifelong aspirations. Yet Alvaro remembered how Haruto's life was often restrained by the weight of familial expectations, which frequently curtailed their impassioned discussions. Shortly after completing his studies in Spain, Haruto returned to Japan, carving out a niche as a private music tutor. Despite the geographical distance, their bond remained strong and their communication frequent, sustained by letters and phone calls filled with fervent ideas and dreams of the future.
❝ Alvaro, I have acquisitioned your proposal, and I must say... You are, undoubtedly, an obtusely fatuous moron. Henceforth, I shall happily oblige with your request. Do not forget to bring some of the finest Spanish wine with you upon your visit. See you soon, my dear friend. ❞
— Saito Haruto.
Now, with the prospect of an international field trip on the horizon, Alvaro saw an opportunity to reunite with Haruto and breathe life into their shared vision. He planned to enlist Haruto's expertise in crafting an enriching educational experience for his students that would meet the headmaster's demands and expose them to a world where music transcends cultural and personal boundaries. He imagined a curriculum rich with exploration and collaboration, where Haruto's insights and cultural heritage would augment the students' understanding of musical arts, setting them on a path to personal and academic triumph. Thus, as Alvaro departed with a confident stride, he was not just carrying papers and assignments but embarking on a new chapter, propelled by hope and steadfast resolve to bring his and Haruto's dreams to fruition.

summary: during alvaro's scholarly excursion, he makes contact again with his old friend, Saito Haruto, after nearly a decade. Coincidentally, it is through him that Alvaro meets Misumi Hayashi - a renowned theatre opera actress and singer... and his beloved soulmate.
