The news spread like wildfire, igniting a storm of sorrow and disbelief across the city and beyond. Reporters gathered outside Seimei's apartment building, their cameras flashing as they spoke in hushed tones about the tragic death of the talented musician.

"Seimei was found this morning," one reporter murmured, her voice choked with emotion. "He hanged himself in his apartment."

As the news spread, the world mourned the loss of a young life cut short by despair. Social media buzzed with tributes and condolences, as people from all walks of life shared their memories of Seimei and his music.

But amidst the grief, there was a glimmer of something else. Seimei's song, "Happy," began to spread like wildfire, its haunting melody capturing the hearts of listeners around the world. School kids hummed its tune in the hallways, while famous songwriters from different countries hailed it as a masterpiece of unparalleled beauty.

"Seimei, you dummy," she whispered, her voice barely a whisper amidst the noise of the train. "Why did you have to go?"
