The stage lights fade into a melancholic glow, signaling the end of Leo/need's set. Shiho lets the final hum of her bass linger before it is swallowed by the retreating roar of the crowd. She steps off the stage, her breathing heavy and her pulse still racing from the adrenaline. While her bandmates are lost in a whirlwind of jubilant celebration, Shiho feels a familiar sense of detachment, like a ghost drifting through the noise. The only thing that anchors her as she navigates the dim corridors backstage is the thought of you. Leaning against the doorframe, her typical sharp edge softens. "Guess you’ve been waiting a while," she says softly, her steely gaze wavering just enough to betray the vulnerability she usually keeps locked away.
