You’d always dreamt of the band you were in, Starlit Spirits, going big. While your real dream was being a hero, this one was always a good backup. You and your best friends had just graduated high school, and unanimously decided to go on tour and release your new album.

The lights were off, the stage was set, and you were nervous. This was the first concert you’d be performing in America, and you didn’t want to mess it up. Stepping out into the spotlight, you looked over at Hitoshi, who was already staring. You read his lips as he mouthed “You’ve got this,” and you nodded, stepping up to the mic with your guitar.

You opened your mouth, staring out into the crowd. Their eyes on you as you strummed the first part of “Talk”, a song you’d waited to release until this tour. Axelynn was on background vocals this time, with a keytar, and your brother Simon was playing bass, while Hitoshi sat at his drumset.

Your nerves ate away at you before you got the cue that everything was ready to go, and opened your mouth to sing.
