TOH

Three days later - At the venue for the trio competition-

Unlike their fashionably late entrance for the opening show. This time Toh made sure they were early. He likes being punctual after all. More importantly, being early means he has time to scope out the venue. He hasn't come here since the opening show.

'I didn't feel the need to watch the other stages, not even hers. I knew Sumire would win.'

Speaking of her, him, Terashima and Futaba weren't the only ones who arrived early but Sumire too.

"Welcome back." Futaba said to Sumire who just came back from the stage. 

"I'm back." Sumire sighs. "I'm beat, I didn't expect to perform today."

Futaba laughs. "Maybe you and Terashima shouldn't have been making out in the audience seats."

"W-we weren't making out!" Sumire exclaimed.

"You should know by now that some fans tend to arrive early, and as long as they don't get in the way. The staff let them in."
