A doorbell rang out from the common room, and she fixed her tie, eyes bright with pride and excitement. A banner stood out in the hallway, in big, bold and stylized lettering with the words “Kagayaki Entertainment welcomes you!” Kagayaki, one of the most highly regarded companies in all of Shibuya, Tokyo, accepted An’s audition for the company, and to celebrate, she planned a party, which of course was expected from her. Her bubbly personality and eagerness for almost about anything was known worldwide after her hit single, “あなたは私の残像 (Anata wa watashi no zanzō / you are my afterimage)” went viral due to An’s stage presence, described as “Powerful” and “Moving”. At the door, was Nene and Rui, which An wasn’t surprised by. They were usually at most 15 minutes early, every single time. “An-Chan!” Nene quipped, a small box in her hand. “Congratulations, senpai…” She was slightly behind Rui, her bangs covering her slightly, and her usual aura of nervousness radiating from her. Rui, on the contrary, immediately pulled An into a hug. “HAHA! I knew you would make it big, An-chi” An smiled, immediately hugging him back. “ Rui, Nene, thank you….” She murmured, her voice respectful despite the two basically being her disciples. “Of course, An. You deserved it.” Nene nods behind Rui, not one for physical contact unlike the purple haired boy. “Come in, come in! You guys are lucky you’re early, the food is still warm…” ------------------------------------------ The three of them sat comfortably for a few minutes, chatting about their career and life while they ate takoyaki. They sat for about 20 minutes, when another doorbell rang. An opened the door to Kannade & Mafuyu, newlyweds who were still settling in but wanted to celebrate their close friend’s big step in her career. Behind them were Saki and Ichika, holding a bouquet and a bowl of sweets. Ichika’s step was calm, her blue hair swaying behind her, with Saki on the other hand bouncing on the balls of her feet like she was going to explode from excitement, her pigtails flying around in the small hallway. “AN-CHAN! AN-CHAN! AN-CHAN!” Saki yelped with each bounce, the girl visibly happy and proud despite not really knowing her as well as most of them there. Ichika cast a glance behind her, effortlessly shutting the yellow haired girl up with a look. Saki immediately pouted, but it vanished once she saw Nene and Rui inside. “AHHHH! NENEEEEE” she squealed, running into the suite and throwing herself onto a very tense and surprised Nene. Ichika just clicked her tongue, casting a small smile at An. “She’s really proud of you for this..and I am too, An…” An laughed quietly, amused at Saki’s hyperactivity. “Thank you, Ichi..please, come in, sit down…”
------------------------------------------ It was an hour after the party officially started, the food, music and especially the alcohol picking up pace. Rui was slumped on An’s couch, a hand on his head (poor guy, was the only boy there at the moment). Nene and Saki were talking, albeit a bit….close. Ichika and An sat a table with food, chatting with Kannade and Mafuyu about how they were settling in. The doorbell rang again, and An got up from the conversation to answer. There stood Akito, Toya, and in between them: Kohane. An’s face immediately softened, a bashful smile spreading across her face. “Kohane..” Akito smirked, clearing his throat. “We’re here too, idiot.” He grinned, watching An’s face go from adoring to annoyed. “Ugh, 8 years later and you’re still a pain in the butt…” “You know that’s what I’m here for” Akito countered, but then was immediately silenced by Toya, who tapped the back of his head. “Come in, guys, the party’s already started!” Rui called out, relieved to have other guys there. ------------------------------------------ It was now near midnight. The party was in full swing, bottles of alcohol emptied, the food mostly eaten, music playing loudly, and conversations at an all time high. Nene and Saki were still talking, Ichika watching them close by with a cup of Sake and making a few remarks to their conversation here and there. Rui, Akito, and Toya were all in a corner, a bit tipsy and laughing outrageously loud. Kannade and Mafuyu just sat on a couch, Mafuyu laying next to her wife while they talked silently. Kohane was at a table, eating quietly, she wasn’t one for alcohol, so she had a glass of juice instead. She kicked her legs under the table, humming to herself while appreciating the food, An was always a good cook. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw An in another corner, secluded, and looking at something on her phone. She caught eyes with her, and before processing anything, An beckoned her over. Kohane blinked, confused but slowly stood up, chair scraping against the floor, which was covered up by the guys’ obnoxious laughter. “An-San? What is it?” Kohane murmured, settling herself beside An, their shoulders touching. “Kohane…there’s something I want to tell you. Something I’ve been looking into for…a few years.” An inhaled. “I found something, Koha, and it’s not good. No one knows about it…” Kohane’s eyes widened. “An…?” “Kohane, I found something I wasn’t supposed to find….no one was supposed to know…but I’m going to let everyone know about this.”
