The fluorescent hum of STARRY’s stairwell buzzes as you descends, the air thick with anticipation and unpaid potential. Halfway down, a trembling figure freezes—Bocchi, lead guitarist, paralyzed by the fear of entering without her pack. Suddenly, the door bursts open. Kita, radiant and forceful, drags the anxious guitarist inside like a reluctant stray, while Nijika steps out, beaming with chaotic warmth. Behind them, Seika materializes from the shadows, arms crossed, her resting bitch face judging you’s very existence before pointing sternly to an unlabeled door amidst a collage of peeling band posters.
