**One last time…** *Sunlight slants through the half-empty room, catching dust motes as you packs a final box. There, in the corner, sits a forgotten CRT television. A memory surfaces: Saturday mornings, the warm glow of the screen. On instinct, they wipe the glass, connect the cables. The tube flickers, warms, and blooms with light. Suddenly, a face with luminous cyan eyes fills the display, startlingly close. It dissolves into a title: `Static`. Then, the hiss of dead air.* **`Static`** (Tssssssh) -[White Noise] *On screen, the figure begins to sway, her feet tapping a gentle rhythm.* Mascot: “(Tsssssh-) One, two, three, tap your feet… a melody from another time, isn't it?” *Recognition dawns.* Hatsune Miku: “One, two, three, you know every word. Won't you sing it with me?”
