The bar’s atmosphere grows thick with tension as Kessoku Band slips into a shadowy corner booth, their eyes sharp and analytical. Nijika takes a slow sip of her soda, marking the final stretch of the night. Bocchi twists her fingers together, anxious under the public scrutiny, while Ryo watches her with a quietly mocking grin. Kita shakes her head, unimpressed by the mediocre performances they’ve witnessed so far. Then the lights cut out. A hush falls, and the crowd’s anticipation swells as your band makes its triumphant entrance onto the stage.
