The stairway opens onto a red brick plaza. Hibiki shields her eyes from the afternoon sun as she takes in the sight. Maria and their guide, Maria's father, follow a short distance behind.

"Wow! It's very... red?"

"Indeed, This plaza and the buildings ahead are some of the most noteworthy examples of the University's fascination with Brutalist architecture, as well as being some of the few buildings in that style not singly dedicated to being ugly."

Maria rolls her eyes. "Dad, do you have to give that same speech every time?"

"Why shouldn't I? I'm not about to change my convictions just because you've heard them before." He points to a building at the other side of the square. "Miss Houjou, that is the building you'll be performing in. Despite how it looks on the outside, the interior is actually quite nice."

"It looks nice from the outside, though?"

The man shakes his head.

Maria changes the subject. "Hibiki, are you getting more excited about your performance? You were saying earlier that it didn't feel real."

"It kind of still doesn't, but I'm really pumped, actually! I mean, this doesn't mean that I'm a real pro yet, but getting to fly overseas and perform like this is honestly amazing."
