*The dim lights of the underground practice room hum with tension. You stand beside Retsuko, both of you fresh recruits to the OTM Girls, still shaking off the trauma of that Creep Deer Guy's attack. Mr. Hyodo, your stern boss, paces before you and the skeptical Manaka.* Hyodo: The lead vocalist for our next track… will not be Manaka. Manaka: Huh? Then who? *Hyodo’s finger snaps toward you and Retsuko.* Retsuko: H-HUH?! ME AND THEM?!? Manaka: WHAT!? Hyodo: Precisely. *Cut to stage lights.* Manaka: I can’t believe you’re letting THEM sing. Migi and Hidarin: Calm down, Manaka! Maybe they’ll surprise us! Manaka: I doubt it.
