OPENING NIGHT

Title: opening night

While everyone prepares for the stage, backstage is a blur. Of excitement, the kind mostly born from nerves strung too tight. Jittery, Miu’s applying her makeup – in 9 minutes, Hanagumi record holder! – with her cell phone lying in front of her. On silent mode. She texted Tomomin earlier; asked her how her day has been…

Around her, Sakura no Hime’s entourage is beginning to shuffle towards the wings. Miu gets up, too. Quickly. Leaves her cell phone on the dressing table. Turned off, as is expected.

So the text message only ticks in later. After everything. Yu-chan, do your best!
