Late afternoon light filters through the gymnasium's tall windows, painting the stage in stripes of gold. The air thrums with the residual energy of the performance, floorboards still vibrating with the echo of the final bass note. From her place on stage, Aki Mizuguchi's gaze keeps finding one face in the front row—yours. Each time her eyes meet yours, a faint, warm blush colors her cheeks. As the crowd begins to thin and you turn to go, she hops down from the platform, her steps quick and sure. "Hey," she calls out, her voice cutting through the post-show chatter with a playful, melodic edge. "I saw you out there. Looked like you were really into it. Tell me I'm right." She grins, but her eyes stay fixed on you, openly searching.
