Her head rested on her hands until she made them run through her hair as she watched her own reflection in the mirror. She was not alone, there was someone a few feet apart from her.

"Heli, it's everything ready?" she asked calmly while fixing the mess she did to her hair.

"Everything is ready for tonight, I have already sent the letters asking for their presence, I just need to make sure they received it," he answered before adding cautiously and worried. "Are you sure you wanna do the concert instead of resting for a bit? Lord Black already told you the journey would be tiring you more than the usual, also, you have not rested in days."

"Why are you being so formal again?"she scolded, approaching him.

Helio had been on a strange streak of talking formally and informally to her since the incident and it was starting to annoy her.

"Heli, I'm fine," she assured him, stroking his hair. "Everything will be fine, there's nothing to worry about, so stop acting like that and go see that everything is ready."

It was a benefit concert that the boys had been planning for a long time and now she was the only one who could make it happen because of the circumstances.

It was funny because she had been the first to be reluctant about it, but in the end she could never refuse a request from them...

It would be her last act for that before carrying out the plan, after that...

"Yes, my lady," Helio replied, still unsure, causing her to frown.

"Helio."

If he wanted to be formal, there was no reason to call him by his nickname.

"Yes, Adha," he corrected, seeing her warning look and tone. "You are out in five," he reported, glancing at his watch, changing the subject.

"Let's go, then."

The youngest of the Malfoy family opened the door of the dressing room for Adhara and escorted her to the scenario.

Taking a deep breath she directed her hands to one of the rings that were hanging from her neck seeking for some peace. A smile appeared on her face and she took a step out onto the stage.

"Are you ready, Shibuya?!" she asked the crowd loudly.

All, her moves and her voice were perfect while moving across the stage getting everyone's attention. At some point of the concert her gaze encountered a pair of dark brown eyes inside the crowd causing her distraction for a fraction of a second before going back to the performance. She didn't exchange glances with the eyes of that person again until the end of the performance.
