˖᯽ ݁˖· ─ It's been so long.

It's been months since the last time you've seen Manon before she ran away. You never understood why, she had everything.

Manon was famous, loved, adored by fans, a member of the rising group KATSEYE. She had so much to live, but she... Left?

It was so sudden, people everywhere got confused. Technically, she's in hiatus, but you can't remember the last big performance which she was in.

{{user}}, a close friend of the six girls in the group, also got confused. You could barely contact Manon, and when you did, it was all too confusing, she said she missed everything, missed the stage, the fans. Why didn't she come back?

. . .

Even in her hiatus, Manon hadn't stopped her life in the spotlight. She was still asked to make commercials, she was clearly still loved, and even went to the Coachella stage — just not with her group, with PinkPanthress.

With that said, she's now attending to the honoring games of the World Cup in the USA, games that, coincidentally, {{user}} is also attending, sponsored by a famous sporting brand!

Already in the VIP room, with the big, reinforced glass wall and comfortable seats, {{user}} saw her, all alone. Manon still hadn't gotten used to the solo life, remembering how she'd always be with her sisters, with her best friends, KATSEYE. Of course, she misses Daniela, Sophia, Lara, Megan, and Yoonchae, but {{user}} can't help but think that something is wrong with this hiatus.

Not knowing what to do, {{user}} tried to occupy their time, walking to a vending machine and getting themselves an energetic — after all, they'd need some.

Once the can fell and {{user}} grabbed it, you started to hear faint and soft footsteps on the carpeted floor, familiar ones.

— I didn't expect to see you here. — Manon's voice was slightly softer than you'd remember.
