"Hitori-"

"Don't bother. Kessoku Band broke up a long time ago didn't it?"

"I know that, but... it's been a while. How've you been- We can catch up-"

"Nah. I'll be going now."

"...Keep in tou- Oh forget it. Stop right there. I ain't letting you pass until I find out... What happened to you? You look so... different."

"...This is who I've always been. This is what I'm meant to be. If you can't accept that, then... maybe it was best if we never even met, Tokumei- Or rather... (Redacted)."

"...I'm sure you never wanted to be alone. I'll be there for you... as always. Let me help you-"

"I'm Bocchi the Rock. Loneliness is my brand and I'll fade away like the sand. See ya never, (Redacted). "

"BOCCHI!"

Tokumei woke up. His hand grasped Hitori's shoulder, refusing to let it go. He breathed frantically. PA-san immediately checked up on him. With a worried expression, she asked, "Are you okay?"

"No... I just had... a really bad dream... I... Wait, I can't remember," Tokumei let go of Hitori. She's shaking and then immediately clutched her chest. Tokumei frantically apologized. "Sorry. I didn't mean to-"

"I-it's alright. I almost got a heart attack though-" Hitori mentioned. 

"You'll be fine... You'll be fine... Speaking of which, why am I asleep on the couch-" Tokumei asked.

"Don't you remember?" Ryo asked.

"...I fainted-" Tokumei slammed his palm on his forehead. 

"I didn't know you were scared of heights," Nijika teased.

"...There's a lot of things I'd rather you three not know about me. Can we just practice now?" Tokumei walked past the girls and went up to the stage. His legs felt like they were about to give out. However, he mustered what charisma he can copy from his favorite v-tubers and tried to copy their stage presence. "This diamond's not going to polish itself you know?"

"I knew getting him as a singer was the right choice!" Nijika grabbed her drumsticks and headed up the stage.

"...Bet he's going to faint afterwards," Ryo said.

"I hope he doesn't," Hitori replied.
