The sun went down once more, ushering in dusk.  I can feel the cool breeze knowing that school days are over.  The moment feels light and calm in the park, with decorations and constructions that give it the feeling of a holiday.

Dom: Listen everyone, the show will start in 15 minutes.

However, I feel nervous knowing that in a short time I'll be playing backstage and with these days I don't know how everything is going to turn out...

For the rest of the day, I've been keeping myself busy so I don't think about everything that happened yesterday.  When I'm not practicing on the violin, I'm helping out with the latest stage decorations.

I turn to see Legoshi, who is moving boxes around near me.

Unlike Legoshi, no one has approached me to ask questions about what happened as long as Dom is not looking at them.  Legoshi however doesn't seem dazed by so many questions, he seems to be keeping himself busy like me.

I've seen that some observe me from time to time, but when I turn to see them they quickly look away nervous.

Still, they don't look like scared, hateful, or judgmental looks like yesterday, instead they seem confused or even embarrassed.  It's as if they also wanted to ask me something but... they don't.

I walk towards the curtain and look out, I can see several people taking a seat and some students talking that they have finished doing what they had to do.

Among them I can see the group of badgers, but they don't seem to even look at me or whisper anything.

They've all actually left me alone, and I haven't heard a whisper near me.  Although that may be because of the wound on my ear, my right ear is probably not going to be as good as it used to be.

I touch my right ear feeling the bandage.

Although well, maybe everyone is more concerned about Louis to focus on me.

I even know Haru's worried about him.  I've seen that occasionally she gets up from her flower stand to look around, maybe hoping to find some trace of him.. Her eyes look worried and sad at the time but when I go to ask how she's doing, she just smiles at me saying that she is looking for clients.

Even though I know she doesn't want us to worry about her, she doesn't want to admit her concern especially after everything we've been through.

I understand that she's worried, after all they were together.. and.. I forgot to tell her that Louis threatened me so.. I know it's not nice to lose someone you care about and not know where they could be or.. if they're okay..

I turn to see Legoshi who's talking to Kai holding a box, while I'm tormented with the idea of ​​losing him..

Since we were put to work on the festival when we arrived, I haven't spoken to him.  Even being close to him we have not spoken to each other.  I think we are giving each other space while we wait for the lighting ceremony to arrive.

My thoughts are interrupted by Kibi's worries.

Kibi:  We have a lot to worry about besides the sudden change of plans and Louis's disappearance.

As I guessed people are worried about the festival and Louis.

Kibi: We can't even contact him .. this has never happened before..

At that Legoshi, curious, comes over to ask him something.

Legoshi: So.. who will be his substitute?

Juno: Me!

Everyone, including me, turned to see Juno who just arrived and....  Oh..

Juno is wearing a bright red dress, and high heels, and makeup that is... well... very beautiful .. She looks beautiful.
