A night to stroll after the day at school is all that is needed daily as a man walks along the park's path with a slender build of body, long, shaggy, dark hair waving into the breeze as his scruffy beard shakes and stirs. Viewing at the stage at the distance, he was intending to make adjustments. He light-skin pales in compliment of the moonlight as he pushes his square-framed glasses up close to this gray eyes. He was wearing a set of black clothes; sneakers, jeans and a long-sleeved shirt. Over his crown was an old baseball cap with the words in front of it,

"WORLD SERIES
CHAMPIONS
20B04".

As he comes across a drunkard without a shirt on exclaiming for a challenge, the man continues walking along with a red Husky tool bag clasped in his right hand. He is here to adjust the lights for the concert, not to fight a drunkard who is rather too silly to bother. As much UHCM wants to reason him to not provoke too much trouble, there is no end to what may presume once he gets what he asked for. All UHCM would have to concern himself about is the chance that it would drive people away or damage his stage.

Interesting to the situation that escalated was the appearance of a catgirl with orange hair and greets the drunkard with a kick, apparently testing him out. It is given that trouble is following as the man walks to the stage with subtle haste. Once there, he places the tool bag there and turns his attention to the two. To a sharp eye, anyone can see that the cat girl is a Nature Iramasha basing off her use of air to cushion her fall from above and the way she lands with the use of air. It is no small feat to be sure if the man have not met people of her kind before during his trips out of the realm of the living. As for the drunkard, the man will have a hard time judging the strength of the drunkard until the drunkard does something.

The man observes the two having their extremely short spiels and throwing electricity and ice about. However, what catches his attention was the streetlight that dimmed and re-lit itself after the drunkard uses ice magic against the cat girl. The other strange part was the man's expedience in recovery from his alcoholism. The guess is on the mark about the cat girl's race, but there is something different about her as she identified the drunkard to be a human. To deduct the priorities, he flicks his wrist and a classic umbrella appear into his hand while blending well into the dark so neither of two would notice that this stage worker is more than it meets the naked eye. However, unlike his intention to approach the fight in hopes of ending it before it gets to the stage and cause a lot of damage to all of his instruments, which would be worth millions in yen, he walks over to the shelter box that contains the touring dimmer packs and cut the power to them, preventing any lighting instruments from getting power, thus they cannot light up. Knowing he has backups available, he digs through his reservoir of specialized lighting equipment and start checking the stacks of blueprints for the lighting layouts for the stage that was prefabricated.

Back and forth again and again, the man walks to the stage, carrying mirrors onto it before returning to the back and coming back with more. However, if paying attention to his movements, he was limping about, using the classic umbrella as a cane. As he does so, he can see himself in these very clean mirrors, a reflection of what he used to be in the past. With the use of ropes, he ascend and descend along the scaffolding and trusses, replacing the lighting instruments with mirrors with a great deal of concentration and skill as he adjusts each one of them. After a while as the two silly people fight over nothing, UHCM adjusts the last mirror, cleverly using the moonlight to light up the entire stage instead of the usual halogen lighting fixtures. As he is standing in the middle of the stage, the stage worker in dark clothes with a classic umbrella is shining like a jewel, a goal for any lighting designer. His glasses turns dark as if turning into a pair of sunglasses with the increased lighting as he speaks with a smirk, "You want light?" He pauses for a moment, keeping the smirk.

"Nope. Light is at my mercy."

Seeing the light on the stage, the natural moonlit stage dims around him after the foul light user retorts that he can still use them, even if they are not on. As if on cue to the man's rising frustration to the arrogance of the man-child, he cringes a bit, grasping the knee of his right leg as the phantom pain was acting up for the moment. By far, the intention for shining the spotlights on the situation was far less than the man-child named Shane would expect as nothing happened. Only one loud clank was from the power generator that was unplugged and was not functioning as the light user was expecting. So all he gets out of it was just the moonlight that was preexisting and an irate man with a bad leg. As the attack goes on, the light show reveals something to the man as if he was receiving a revelation.

(This section is an imaginary section, it never happens as along it is within this section. It is never a dream and it is in the deepest part of his mind, so not even mind reading and light powers cannot detect that level of depth.)

Spoiler:

UHCM snaps out of the daze as he can see the katana sword laying by his foot. "When did I call for you?" UHCM thinks to himself as he picks up his sword. "Right. The promise for my friends." UHCM draws out the katana from the scabbard and looks into the blade, remembering of the times whenever he finds himself alone, that blade was what is left of his family, including his dog. Through the air, a piercing bark echoes and reaches the man's ears. He looks and notices his dog, Cobie was coming across the park and the battlefield. Previously, Cobie has a habit of wandering off whenever it is sure that its master, UHCM will be fine, but comes back to check up on him. Then something kicks in.

UHCM drops the scabbard, picks up the umbrella with his left hand and rushes out, leaning far forward and shoving his feet for extra boost of speed. The moment that the girl in the air spoke of the downpour, UHCM skids to a stop at the edge of the lake and Cobie, the Keeshond dog arrives to its master's side. With the katana reflecting off the lights and the attacks commences, UHCM looks at the girl in the air with scorning eyes behind his glasses. After the attack is done, UHCM breathes in and lets out a sharp, commanding shout to grab their attention while giving off a vibe that it is serious business,

"You two! Front and center!"
