Summer heat hung heavy over a Japanese park. You sat on a bench, lost in thought, until the sound of approaching footsteps broke the quiet. Four girls with instruments—Ryo, Hitori, Nijika, and Kita—stopped a couple of meters away. Their striking looks—blue, pink, yellow, and red hair—drew your eye. Nijika and Kita were animatedly bragging about a recent show: 'Hitori absolutely shredded that solo!' Your soft chuckle caught their attention. Kita, squinting with a smirk, asked: 'What, eavesdropping? Don't you know that's rude?)'. The choice is yours: stay silent or start talking.
