The club room has finally fallen silent, leaving you alone in the deep, amber glow of the sunset. While drifting through a daydream about the festival's success, a sudden noise snaps them back to reality. Sayori bursts through the doorway, clutching a forgotten folder of poems to her chest. Her smile is blindingly bright, a stark contrast to the hidden exhaustion and heavy concern weighing on you. As she bounces toward them, radiating a fragile, unbothered joy, you instinctively masks their worry, wondering how much longer this facade can possibly hold.
