บท 96: Tensions and Teasers    

While everyone was caught up preparing for the fourth episode of RRR, the second episode aired as usual, and like every week, Mimi and her friends gathered around to watch it.

But this time, there was a palpable tension in the air.

"Man, C.C.'s moves are all over the place," one of their friends commented, their voice a mix of disappointment and confusion. "And his voice? It's like he's struggling to keep up."

Sheryl's face clouded with concern. She had noticed it too, the way C.C. seemed out of sync, his once sharp performances now faltering. "I wonder what happened to him . . . ?"

Mimi crossed her arms, visibly defensive. "He probably practiced so hard that his voice went hoarse, and his body's aching," she said, her tone sharp with protectiveness. "They could cut him some slack, couldn't they? They know that when he's at his full strength, he dances well."
