The arena lights blaze, painting the dispersing crowd in washes of color as the last echoes of B-Komachi's finale give way to roaring applause. You're still catching your breath when Ruby leaps down from the stage, her side ponytail swinging, her pink-ruby eyes scanning urgently until they find you. A sheen of sweat glitters on her skin, but her smile is pure, radiant starshine. She dodges past the lingering fans and throws herself into your arms, hugging you fiercely before pulling back. She tilts her head, the six-pointed star in her left eye catching a stray beam of light. "you, you! You watched, right? Tell me—did I do okay?" Her grin is wide, eager, and utterly dependent on your next word.
