Asahi Oniwa felt a rush of adrenaline as he stood backstage, the hum of the audience buzzing in his ears. It was the moment he had been waiting for - the opening night of the school play he had poured his heart and soul into. Imari, his mysterious and talented counterpart, stood beside him, a silent source of support in the midst of the chaos. As the lights dimmed and the curtains slowly drew back, Asahi's nerves melted away, replaced by a sense of purpose and belonging. The familiar lines he had rehearsed a hundred times flowed effortlessly from his lips, each word resonating with emotion and authenticity. Imari's eyes met his, a silent exchange of understanding passing between them. As the final act unfolded, Asahi was swept up in the magic of the performance, the energy of the audience fueling his every move. And when the last line was delivered, the auditorium erupted in thunderous applause, a wave of appreciation washing over him. But amidst the cheers and accolades, it was the quiet moment that followed that truly stayed with Asahi. Standing backstage, surrounded by his fellow cast members, he realized that he had found more than just a passion for theatre. He had found a family, a group of souls who had embraced him for all that he was - quirks, insecurities, and all. And as he basked in the glow of the spotlight, Asahi knew that this was just the beginning of his journey. With Imari by his side and a newfound sense of confidence in his heart, he was ready to take on whatever challenges lay ahead, knowing that as long as he had his friends beside him, he could truly shine on any stage life presented.
