"That was great show" Rui said. "Great job!"

"It was so cool!!!" Emu exclaimed "So fun 🤩"

"Yeah, It was pretty awesome." I said.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it Y/N" Rui said. "Yeah.. I wasn't expecting to have that much fun" I said. "How long have you guys been doing this?"

"A few months" Tsukasa replied.

"Wow😮.. You guys are good at this considering you've only been at this for a few months." I said, fascinated

"We're naturals!" Emu chirped.

"Yeah," Rui started, "Don't you agree Nene?"

Nene nodded.

"Is everything alright Nene?" Tsukasa asked. "Mm.. I'm fine." Nene said. "I'm gonna go." She walked away.

"Nene?" Rui called. Nene didn't say a word. Rui ran after her.

"🙁...Is Nene always like this?" I ask, concerned.

"No.. Not usually." Tsukasa responded. "Normally she's like this when she's stressed or in a bad mood."

"I wonder what's wrong 😥" I wonder.

"Hm.." Tsukasa hums. "She started acting like this ever since you joined the troupe."

"Y-You don't think..." I nervously said.

"It's a possibiltiy." Tsukasa said.

"What could I have possibily done to put her in a bad mood?"

"I don't know, but knowing Rui, he'll talk to her about it." Tsukasa explains. "Okay.. I hope so." I say worried

"Well it's getting late I should go home now" I say. "Goodnight"

"Goodnight" Tsukasa and Emu say.

I walk to school and I see Rui "Rui!" I run up to him.

"Hi Y/N." He says

"How's Nene?" I ask

"I don't know." Rui replied, "I couldn't get her to tell me anything

"Oh.." I say "Tsukasa mentioned thaT she started acting like this ever since I joined the troupe.

"Oh.. That is true." Rui said, "I have noticed that. Did you say anything to her?"

"No! I'd never ☹️"

"I'll try talking to her about it again." Rui says. "And by the way, you did really good on stage yesterday. It's kind of hard for me to believe it's your first time 😄"

I blush, "Thank you. ☺️"

"Of course!" Rui smiles. "We should get to school now"

I nod and we start walking to school.

We get up from our seats. "I'm gonna go find Nene and talk to her. I'll see you soon!" Rui says and walks away. "Okay, bye!" I wave.

I go to the cafeteria and sit down, alone, once again.
