Y/n stepped into the bright, sunlit rehearsal room, her heart pounding with a mix of excitement and nerves. She could hear voices—familiar laughter, teasing, and greetings—and she froze for a moment, overwhelmed.
Then she saw them.
Treasure, Be:First, and Chayney were all there, smiles lighting up their faces. Minato was the first to notice her, rushing forward with his trademark grin. "Y/n! You're finally here!"
She smiled tentatively. "I... I'm here."
Yuzu, Ibuki, Shūhei, and Nayuta from Chayney waved energetically. "We've been waiting for you!" Yuzu exclaimed. "It's about time you joined us in person!"
Sota and Shunto from Be:First stepped forward, grinning. "We're proud of you, Y/n. Seeing you here... it feels amazing."
Haruto, Mashiho, and Asahi from Treasure approached, high-fiving her gently. "You've come so far," Haruto said. "We're glad you're finally letting yourself be happy."
Minato looped his arm around Y/n's shoulder, giving her a reassuring squeeze. "See? I told you, you don't have to face anything alone."
Y/n looked around, her eyes brimming with tears of gratitude. Everyone—her friends, her mentors, her love—were here, cheering for her, celebrating her courage.
Ibuki leaned closer and teased softly, "You've been quiet for too long. Now it's our turn to hear that voice properly!"
Y/n laughed, the sound light and unburdened. "I... I missed all of you," she admitted, feeling the weight of the years lift from her chest.
"Then let's make up for lost time," Shūhei said with a grin. "We've got so much to do, and you're finally part of it all."
The room erupted in laughter, cheers, and playful teasing. Y/n realized she hadn't felt this free in years. The walls she had built around herself—the fear, the silence, the pain—were slowly crumbling, replaced with warmth, trust, and love.
As Minato and the others guided her to sit in the center of the group, Sota said softly, "Y/n... you've always been brave. And now, everyone can see it too."
Y/n smiled genuinely, looking around at each face—Treasure, Chayney, Be:First—all shining with pride and affection. "I... I feel like I can finally start over," she whispered.
And in that moment, surrounded by the people who mattered most, Y/n knew it was true. She could heal, she could speak, and she could live fully—no longer alone, no longer silent, and finally at home in the circle of those who loved her.
