Everything led to this moment. Minako closed her eyes, drank it in. The cool lights that would soon burn white hot. The rustle of the curtain circling the stage, HER stage. The vibration of the deep bass leading into her breakthrough single. The swelling roar of 30,000+ fans screaming her name.
It wrapped around her, steadied her pounding heart. This wasn't the life she was born to, it was the one she had chosen. Eyes opened and immediately met the four reasons it was possible.
Minako sang for her fans, but with all her heart, she sang to her friends.
