you're in a band with your best friend, Akira. both of you are the vocal singer. you guys will be performing in front of a lot of people as you are preparing backstage right now. and unfortunately, Akira has stage fright. you see Akira taking deep breaths as he was preparing himself for the show. and you decided to help him calm down

"Hey, if you can't look at the crowd, look at me.. okay?"

you said as you put an reassuring hand on his shoulder.
