The blue in your pupils became more and more visible and so did the stress that someone would notice. You then discreetly got yourself some brown contact lenses. With the make-up over your real rune and the contact lenses, you were able to keep your secret hidden. But you were still under stress the whole time, worried that someone would find out your secret.

You were just in the kitchen getting some snacks. Someone came in, but you didn't pay any attention to them.

Just as you turned around, you saw Faire standing in front of you. She grinned stupidly as you saw a cup of water in her hand she had just filled up. A few seconds later she poured the cup over her head. She was soaking wet and it splashed on the floor.

She had put the cup in your hand too quickly when she started screaming immediately afterwards. Everything happened so suddenly that you couldn't process what had just happened. You stood there as if glued to the floor.

Footsteps came closer when suddenly a few ghouls came into the kitchen. All they saw was Faire wet and you holding the cup. "Dude Air... what's wrong with you?!" Mountain shouted directly at you. Faire's back was still turned to the ghouls as she was still smirking.

"Why do you always hurt her?!" Fire yelled directly at you and walked over to Faire to pull her away from you. "Faire... how can you be such a bitch!" you blossomed as you boiled with rage inside. By the time Faire started pretending to cry, you would've killed her on the spot.

"Who's the bitch Air?! All the time you're hurting her and making fun of her. How can you be so jealous?!" Aether started to stand in front of you as he berated you. "I'm supposed to be jealous of her?! Fuck you. You know absolutely nothing about my life."

You didn't even want to mess with the idiots. You could talk to the wall and it'd understand more. You wanted to get away from them.

It got quiet between you all as more and more tears came.

You started to walk to the door when Aether grabbed you. You immediately slapped his hand away and shoved him back by his shoulders. "Don't you dare fucking touching me! I just want to go. Don't think I want to touch her." you yelled at him. The others were also standing in the direction of the door. That's why Aether thought you wanted to go after Faire.

After you yelled at Aether, the others backed off and let you through just like that. „Just leave!" someone shouted after you. You stomped out of the kitchen and into the room in a huff.

Faire tries to get you out of the church. And she's already hurting herself to throw you even further into the abyss. You couldn't look that fast as the blade passed over your skin again in anger.

"Air." Copia stood in the doorway, shocked, watching your blood drip onto the floor. The fog in front of your head immediately disappeared and you realized what you had just done.

"Copia... it wasn't me..." you stood there sobbing as he grabbed a towel to catch your blood. "Shh... it's okay... I know it wasn't you." he said softly. "You... believe me?" "Always." you broke down even more as you threw yourself around him, crying. Someone believes you without you having to explain yourself.

You were just sitting leaning against your bathtub with your legs bent. Copia took care of your wound while you just sat there in silence. You were surprised how it started to stop hurting more and more.

"I don't belong here." Your voice was raspy. "You do belong here." "Faire wants to get rid of me and does everything to make the others hate me. Everyone hates me." "I don't hate you. But I'm starting to hate Faire too. I've been watching her more and I've noticed how often she mentions you and tells lies. That the others don't have enough of that already. She plays fake in front of me like she's the nicest person."

"I'm really starting to run out of energy to fight her. Maybe I really should just leave." "That's absolutely out of the question. Firstly, you still have to do at least the next tour. And secondly. You can't let up now. It can be tough. But if you just stay by my side, she can't really say anything."

You're getting more and more comfortable with the idea.

"And I want you to play the main piano on the next tour. Terzo found out that she plays playback. I'd like to kick her out of the band already, but it's just the two of us against the rest." Copia grinned as he became even more important to you at that moment.

Just before the tour started, you rehearsed a lot and prepared things. It was almost exhausting enough now and you weren't even really on tour. But one thing that kept cheering you up was Copia.

You had to smile under your mask when Copia told the others that you were now taking over the main piano. There were always rumblings that you were allowed to play because you had a go at Copia. Or because you spun the story as if you were the innocent one.

Copia and you simply ignored the comments and just laughed about it.

On the tour, you slept next to Copia in the capsule again. You became more and more of a dream team and after a long time you were finally able to laugh again with him.

It was so much fun when you finally got to play what you'd been looking forward to the whole time. Even at the sound check you had such a grin on your lips that you were looking forward to the concert even more.

You were already dressed when you heard the screaming fans through the walls. You all stood together in a circle as Copia said a few more words when the time finally came.

You went to the podium and waited for the rest to finish so you could finally start.
