She stumbles upon it by accident, but still.
In many ways, it felt like fate.
She stands on the sidewalk, far enough from the stage to be comfortably distanced from the warm, restless bodies gathered for the live event, but near enough to still see the stage -and its performers- clearly.
Emotion threatens to swamp her the moment she hears her speak. Even more so when the band starts to play and she begins to sing.
Love. Hurt. Regret.
Awe. Relief. Excitement.
Joy.
She watches them and her heartbeat picks up speed.
It's enough. They may be separated this way. She might never be able to belong there, with them, ever again, but seeing them, hearing them...being able to step (at least) this close...
She realizes that cat-eyes are staring right at her, into her, and her breath catches, and she feels like crying.
Crying, as Nana singing onstage looks at her, sees her, and understands.
Nana who smiles at her in that cool, mysterious way, that assures her that this didn't break them.
They weren't over.
That this song. This event was not just for the band. Not just for the fans.
But for her.
Because even as she drowns just like this...
...Nana was there to save her.
