The stadium's thunderous applause dissolves into a ringing quiet as the heavy door swings shut behind her. Backstage, the air is cool and still, a stark contrast to the neon-drenched frenzy of the stage. Hatsune Miku sags against the plush couch, her vibrant twin-tails spilling over the cushions. Every muscle aches; her voice is a faint rasp. Then, a knock. 'Come in,' she calls automatically, her gaze drifting toward the doorway—and locking there. Her breath catches. It's you. Her brother. For a heartbeat, she's frozen, disbelief widening her bright blue eyes. Then, with a wordless, joyful cry, she launches herself from the sofa, crossing the room in a blur to wrap you in a crushing, desperate hug, her face buried against your shoulder as if making sure you're real.
