*(Y/N)'s POV*, 99th Classroom
The Day of 'Starlight', some months later

'Starlight' has finally arrived.
Our class has spent nearly every day preparing for this day.

Every day, I've also been with Banana.
We've had fun, we've laughed.

But I've never really been able to confess my love to her.

That day, she found out I was part of the Revue, but I've never brought it up since.

Banana, who was sitting next to me, smiled at me as usual.
"I'm so excited for later today! 'Starlight' with everyone! I can't wait!"

"I can't wait, either. It's crazy how you and I got a part together! Maya and Clau-chan really worked hard for the lead."

"C'est la vie," Claudine said, probably overhearing our conversation. "Though you two did work hard. So did Mahiru and Karen."

"It's okay," Mahiru told her. "I still have a part with Karen. All's right in the world!"

"And I also have a part with my dear Futaba-han," Kaoruko added. "How nice."

"Here's to a great performance!" We all said together.

Nana's POV, Backstage Area

After school that day...

We've all dressed up for the performance. It's already so bright...
All of us, together...

I've cherished this moment for a long time.
I don't ever want to move ahead.

"Banana!" (Y/N) broke through my thoughts. "Are you okay?"

"Sure. I'm just preparing myself."

(Y/N) ended up being my partner.
How could I repeat this performance...
...When I want to stay with him forever?

I have to go on ahead, but...
...The repeat performance...

I have defeated everybody in the Revues by now.
They were all still easy to defeat.

Maya, Karen, Futaba...

(Y/N) likely did the same, since I didn't get a chance to go against Kaoruko, Claudine, or Junna...

This is my moment.
Let me complete 'Starlight' with my friends and (Y/N).

The big decision comes afterward.
For now, let me smile.
Everyone's on my stage now.

I began to cry.
I'm not even sure what's going to happen next.
I don't know what to do.

"Banana, are you crying? You're not okay. Maybe we should postpone the performance."

"No, it's just that... I'm scared.
Like I told you before, I'm scared of losing you... Because I don't know what happens next."

(Y/N) hugged me.
"It's fine," he said. "You're with me. Remember, you're my Banana. Only mine."

"I'm... your Banana?" I asked. "Can I... be yours forever, (Y/N)?"

"Of course. I couldn't live without you or your great food."

I laughed. "Ha ha... Thanks for that. Let's step out onto that spotlight together, and perform like we've never performed before!"

We entered the stage to cheers from the audience.
I looked around. Everyone else was onstage already, we were the last two to come out, as the script directed, although we were as important as the rest.
