( just as quick as the ice melted between them, things soon became cold again at least to nana. she stood before the other, a more toned down and subtle expression in comparison to the energy from before. the song had lifted their spirits so high, allowing them to break that barrier and somewhat bond. it was now that nana was starting to truly see the worth in keeping this girl around and yet—

she just had to ask that specific question. it began when she too was in such an intense and dark place in high school, radiating vibes that made people whisper nonsense and rumors about her. the only one who saw past that was nobu who extended an olive branch out to her and encouraged her to form a band with him.

the one who truly pushed her to greater heights, who showed her the kind of romance she wanted to emulate, and the clothes she now donned was ren. a bitter painful reminder that no matter what she did in life, his influence would linger like a ghost. as much as she loved him....even now looking back—

it truly had been a toxic relationship. these aren't things she says to mai though, instead she immediately broke the silence by slinging her mic in her hand and holding it out to mai as if she were holding a sword to an opponent. )

That's a story for a different day my dear, you're here to listen to me sing a song from my band. So hurry up, look up the song 'Rose' by BLAST.
