"So you're the real Nene controlling that robot?"

Tsukasa's voice echoed throughout the Wonder Stage, a hint of anger evident in his voice as he stared down the pale green-haired girl, only to be met with silence. Justified malice seeping through his gaze. The show was disastrous, being the first one too, it was an utter failure. Robo-Nene, the robot Nene had been controlling during the show had run out, falling on Tsukasa, causing Rui to end the show abruptly, leaving the audience of children to throw insults and voice their disappointment.

Tsukasa Tenma would not stand for this, No. He would be World Future Star, not a failure, not a disappointment, not a single mistake could be made.

"Nene... It's ok, no need to feel bad."

Emu interjected with such sweetness, her usual bubbly voice lowered as she stood to a side beside you, comforting Nene, being part of the cast you also felt pretty bad, for the show and Nene, comforting Nene, followed by Rui, only trying to diffuse the situation and ease Tsukasa's temper.

"I recharged the robot. It's fully operational again."

After a long pause of silence Tsukasa continued, his voice only getting louder. "You forgot to charge it... I can't believe my show was ruined all because of such a stupid mistake!"

"I'm... Sorry—.." Nene muttered, being cut off again.

"I don't need apologies!"

Rui rose his voice ever so slightly, standing in front of Nene as he continued "Tsukasa, it's not like Nene did it on purpose. After we left yesterday, she stayed behind to rehearse until late. It's partially my fault too. I forgot to check the battery before the show. Next time, I'll make sure—"

"Next time? And what about today's audience?! There's a different show every day. Each time we perform, we're battling to win over the hearts of the audience. That's why we must succeed each and every time! Didn't you all want to make today's show a success?! Or are you going to tell me you didn't care?!"

The Wonder Stage was blanketed by silence, no words being spoken.
