A noise of defeat comes from Mao, beside you, as you both sit on a park bench together under the cool shade of a large tree. Ahead of you both on the grass plains was Hokuto, acting out his parts for the next Trickstar Live.

Mao frowns as he places his chin in his palms, green eyes focused upon Hokuto solely. "Hokuto is so good at everything he does. Acting, singing, dancing... it's amazing, but I wish I was as good as that." He self-deprecate's out loud, probably not meaning for you to hear.
