Backstage, post-End Band
Rikki first: "Tomori? Where going?"
No response. Rikki chased.
Host: "Next, Wind Ensemble."
Anon tilted head: "Restroom?" Chased.
Soyo followed—Tomori priority.
Mutsumi paused, followed.
Hotaru offstage.

Azusa? Azu-nyan! Hotaru scanned, missed in crowd. Second year chance.
Backstage, Tomori crashed into him, hugged tight.
"Don't leave…" faint.
Strong arms, soft body, fragrance. Big Tomori!
Pain sobered. "Tomori, what?"
Ruffled hair—comfort.
Light Music Club saw.
Yui: "Celebration?" Puffed cheeks. "Sly! Me too!"
Grabbed Hotaru's hand.
"Yui, why?"
"Celebrate."
"Not. Let go."
"No."
Tsumugi: "Fun!" Wrapped left arm.
"Tsumugi!?"
"Play!"
Strong grip.
Ritsu: "Wait!" Targeted foot.
"Balance!"
"Celebrate!"
Mio stunned, flushed. Pulled Ritsu: "Trouble!"
Hotaru relieved: "Mio-chan, help."
Rikki arrived: "Let Tomori go!"
Hotaru: "I'm held! Eyes open."
Rikki choked, red. Tomori hugging!
"Tomori… wrong?" Soft.
Hotaru amused, sighed: "Done messing, let go."
Greater danger approached.
