Host:
"Next up, performer no.12... Aroma White. Please take your position and introduce yourself."

PAFF:
"....."

Host:
"Umm... Hello?"

PAFF:
"Eh? Ah, I'm sorry. My name is...."

*Microphone drops*

Host:
"........."

PAFF:
"I, I'm so sorry.... I... I'm Aroma."

Judge A: *Whispers*
"She's screwed. Can she even sing if she's so nervous already?"

Judge B: *Whispers in return*
"Yeah, maybe?"

Judge B:
"No need to be nervous. How old are you?"

PAFF:
"F.....fifteen"

Host:
"Relax~What song are you singing for us today?

PAFF:
"Fight Another Day"

Judge C:
"Good. You can start singing when the green light turns red."

Judge A: *Whispers*
"This one's no good. She's so nervous that she can barely talk properly."

Judge C: *Whispers*
"She looks really cute too. What a shame...."

*Music plays* *Green light turns red*

PAFF: *Sings*
"As the walls around me tie me to a fragment of emotion
The consequences of my being starts to rise
The fibres of my essence start to float away
How can I ever stand to fight another day~"

Judge A:
".......!"

Judge B:
"Holy....! Are you serious?!"

*After the singing*

Audience:
"........"

PAFF:
"I-I'm done with my singing. Thank you...."

Audience: *Applauds*

Helena:
"Aroma! Over here!"

PAFF:
"Sister."

Helena:
"Congratulations on winning second place! Your singing was amazing!"

PAFF:
"But only the first placer can receive the contract.."

Helena:
"Umm..."

PAFF:
"She can sing, dance, is very funny, and she looks beautiful too..... unlike me......"

Helena:
"............"

PAFF:
"........It's too hard for me to be like her."

Helena:
"Your singing is great, way better than hers! The audience really loved you, and the applause was loud and clear too. You did great!"

PAFF:
"Yes...."

Helena:
"You will overcome your nerves someday. We will come back next time. Don't give up, okay? I will help you do this, together."

PAFF:
"Yes, I will work hard."

Helena:
"Good! I will always support your dream. Your voice can definitely make it! It's getting late. Let's go back."

PAFF: *smiles a bit*
"Ok!"

Noah:
"I'm home."

Helena:
"Just in time. I am making coffee."

Noah:
"Hmm, add a bit more sugar today. Where's Aroma?"

Helena:
"She's taking a bath. Oh, looks like she just got done with that."

PAFF:
"Ah, Noah.....sorry. You can use the bathroom now."

Noah: *Chuckles*
"You don't have to be so cautious. We are living together after all. Just treat me like family."

PAFF:
"Okay..... Thank you for letting me live together with you guys. It feels like I'm disturbing you two newlyweds though....."

Noah:
"No need to worry. Having you together with us makes Helena happier too. If I were the only one here, she would probably give me a long face every day. That would be quite the waste of that beautiful face, don't you think?"
