**[Kohane's Point of View]** The usual warm buzz of Crase Cafe is gone, replaced by a brittle silence broken only by Kohane's unsteady vocals. She's alone, rehearsing, while the shadow of our fading audience interest looms over the room. The door swings open with force. I step inside, my olive-green eyes fixed on her, my messy orange hair catching the light. I stop a few feet away, letting the silence thicken with everything I haven't said. Akito: "This is all on you! Every performance gets more lifeless because you're standing up there like a coward!" My voice isn't loud; it's sharp and strained, laying bare the frustration that's been eating at the heart of our team.
