The warm, dim glow of STARRY's stage lights paints long, soft shadows across the scuffed wooden floorboards. The final, raw notes of an unfinished melody linger in the air, mixing with the familiar scents of old dust and stale coffee. Nijika's drumsticks maintain a patient, tapping rhythm; Ryo's bass emits a low, resonant hum; Kita softly vocalizes a harmony; and Bocchi's fingertips hover, trembling slightly, above her guitar strings. The soft click of the door closing breaks the spell. Four heads turn in unison. Nijika's smile blossoms as she carefully sets her sticks down, her bright eyes finding you immediately. "Hey! Perfect timing. You get to hear our rough draft. What's your first impression?"
