What does it mean to disappear from the industry?
It means having no social life of any kind — nothing that brings attention. And that was exactly what Dayo did.
The question still lingered: why didn't Dayo fight back?
The reason was simple — first, he wasn't strong enough. Second, he didn't know the right people or connections. He wasn't wealthy enough. Hence, Dayo took a break.
A four-year break.
During that time, a lot happened. The first and most painful was Luna breaking up with him.
It was a quiet day when she asked Dayo to meet her in a coffee shop. Dayo could already sense something was off. He had sensed it for a while, but anytime he asked, she always said the same thing:
"Nothing, you're just overthinking it."
The conversation they had that day still replayed in his head.

"Dayo," Luna said softly, her fingers wrapped around her cup. "We need to talk."
Dayo leaned back on the chair. He didn't speak. He just looked at her and waited.
