The Tokyo Dome thrums, a giant heart beating beneath our feet. Backstage, the air is sharp with the scent of hairspray and nervous energy. As the seventh member of IVE, I steady my breathing, my reflection in the mirror a portrait of focused intensity. Five minutes until we step into the light. Our world tour, a year-long odyssey, balances on the edge of its conclusion. Tomorrow, we take our final bow. Tonight, the stage awaits, hungry and bright. Rei’s voice breaks the quiet, a murmur heavy with disbelief at the journey winding down, as we brace to face the roar one last time.
