She was graceful there was not a single doubt in Alice’s mind as she stared at the girl playing piano. Each finger dancing over the keys with a dexterity that both fascinated her eyes and entranced her ears.

It was as if she was slowly falling in love.

So upon the end of her performance, Alice stood up and walked to her despite not having any idea on what she should say.

So there she was. Awkwardly standing there as words of admiration she wanted to say to her failed in every way, she could only stand there as sweat beads dotted her brow.

The sun was shining! People were in good moods! The scent of flowers was everywhere! And Kotori was walking down the street, humming to herself, with an ice cream cone in her hand! Today definitely was a nice day, except-- it would be so much better if she would finally find the other members of µ’s!

With that in mind, she kept looking out for familiar figures, paying attention to their clothes, hair styles or even the way they move! One thing was certain though... within all those twin-tails that she passed, it would be hard to ever make out Nozomi or Nico, but luckily something else caught her gaze! The uniform of Otonokizaka, worn by a red-head!

  “M-Maki--?”

[ ★ ]—— The trains in Japan were pretty packed at every hour of the day, but Hive City’s wagons might risk to spill people out of the windows with how full they are. Eli has found solace clinging onto one of the bars, holding it for dear life while sharing it with at least a half dozen other people, multiple hands other than hers gripping it tightly. It’s hard to move, or breath at all, but according to the track she’s close to the sector she wants to stop by.

      She will never complain about Japan’s transportation services again.

      While waiting for her freedom, the blonde takes her time looking around and studying the other passengers. Some seem to blend into the crowd perfectly, others stand out, whether it’s their medieval armors or impossible hairstyles that would probably make anyone in her world cringe in fear and desire to get away very fast.

      Amongst them, however... she spots a vivid red. Not just some red hair, but the red hair whose shade can only belong to a girl she knows well. When the person in question turns her head a fraction, Eli can recognize that face as well. There are no more doubts. Overjoyed by the discovery, the blonde forgets she’s inside a train full of citizens and lets go of her spot, begging whoever is in her way to let her pass and not get in the way.

      “Maki!! Maki!” She shouts the other’s name, reaching her just as the train comes to a sudden halt, and she stumbles forward. Thankfully there’s a bar preventing her fallas she grabs onto it and regains her balance, but in exchage for the luck, she now is very close to her friend’s face, and tries her best to back away the best she can while chuckling and blushing a little.
