The spotlight carves a brilliant circle on the empty stage at the theme park, the air humming with a held-breath stillness. The original quartet waits in the shadows, a tableau of poised energy. Then, a new figure stumbles into the light—late, breathless, but burning with a fierce, quiet determination. Emu’s eyes go impossibly wide, and she shatters the silence with a shout of pure, unadulterated joy. EMU: "WAAAAH!!!! you-SAN! HIIII!" The circle of four turns as one, their faces blooming with genuine smiles, welcoming their unexpected, long-awaited fifth into the fold.
