“Sorry. She’s my friend Susie, I didn’t want to kick her out after she helped me with something, so I brought her here.” You explain and apologize for being callous. It helps that Neko is unbiased, a complete stranger with a fresh opinion, but at what cost? “I can stay by you while you perform if that makes you feel more secure.”
Ajna finds that one thing deep in her heart to forgive you. Her trembling slows down with your offer.
“I-I’d like y-you to s-s-s-stand in f-f-front of me.” Ajna takes control.
“All right.” You do as you’re told. Is this the highly anticipated return of backpack Ajna?
“E-Everyone, I-I don’t have a s-s-s-song o-o-of my own pr-pr-prepared. I-I’ll p-play to t-t-t-the b-b-best of my a-abilities…” Ajna announces to the jury.
“I can hardly wait!” Debbie’s optimism is overflowing.
In a decision that must take a lot of restraint, T_T Neko has decided not to say a word. To help ease Ajna’s nerves perhaps?
“Go ahead!” Amelia is the one to give the go for the audience.
“Hm…” Ajna turns around. You’re back to back now. You wanted to give her some words before starting, but you think you’d throw her off balance if you say anything at this point. All that’s left is for you to put your trust in Ajna.
Ajna starts playing a captivating melody from the soul. It might be in a different tempo and style, but you know this song. Her interpretation is breathtaking to your ignorant ass, you hope it’s good enough for the jury. Hard to believe that someone so frail looking has this much lung control!
The deafening silence after the performance, heightened by Ajna’s increasing trembling, is broken by Debbie’s clapping!
“Divine, Ajna!” Debbie enthusiastically congratulates the fidgeting menace who stands still. “I’ll make sure that we’ll find a way to make it comfortable for you to perform, so welcome aboard!”
Ajna appears from behind your back and… smiles! No words. Just that.
“Congrats.” Neko keeps it simple. She doesn’t want to disturb Ajna in the slightest. What a good kitty.
“Now, Ajna, please bring whoever is next!” Amelia takes the mantle of asking politely, since Debbie is too overzealous for that bit.

>Yu Yan.
>Nariko.
