Ms. Yoshida's innocent smile scared me more than calmed me down as we stood deep in the hallway, far from everyone. I didn't know if it was me, but I could swear she had been silent for far too long.
Finally, she opened her mouth to talk, and I expected to hear the worst threat I could imagine.
"We'd love for Blostars to perform again at our last show."
I remained silent as my brain tried to process what she had just said, yet the only sound I was able to articulate was, "Huh?"
"I'd understand if you don't want to," she still smiled. "It was quite rude on our part to abruptly cancel the rest of your tour with us like that I just hope you understand that we did it to avoid controversies. To be honest, it kind of backfired. We expected fans to be angry, but not that many. It is a good sign, really. It means they were enjoying the collaboration."
