♫ ONE. [ACTION]
[There were some things that Rise could recall. She recalled facing against a Goddess with all her friends, nearly at the risk of their lives. She recalled the fear she'd felt when she'd been pulled under by Izanami. But she was alive, her friends were alive, and the fog was all gone from both worlds. She and her friends had gone their separate ways that night, to meet again the next day at the train station so they could see Souji off properly.
A music box had been waiting for her when she got home that night. At first, she thought it was a gift from her grandma. A present for her redebut as an idol. But.]
Senpai?
[Rise now wandered the streets of the Metropolis district, trying to talk to the locals. She was lost and confused. 'Have you seen my friends?' she'd ask them. Maybe this was some trick. Maybe they were wrong and Izanami hadn't really been defeated. But the people did all they could to dodge her questions and just plain not talk to her. Her seal was held close in her hands, but she did not know of its nature. And this key around her neck had to lead to somewhere.]
Senpai... you're here, aren't you? [If she was here, her friends couldn't be far off... right? She didn't want to think about it if she was the only one here.]
