[Yeah, this is 100% not Kaoru's fault, Lili just has him trained. On the other hand he's not thinking about that because he's thinking about what Nana told him about Starlight, watching the two girls fall into a performance with ease and fluidity.
While he's immersed in the story, he's also watching the behavior of both Junna and Nana and how they engage with one another. Things make a little more sense to him, and there's a soft smile of understanding as he lets his eyes drift between them.
But knowing the end of Starlight, he wonders about the journey. For once he's still and equally polite, letting the scene play out.]
[ Even while performing her attention never fully leaves her audience– though she is careful to not let that be apparent. A rigid performance, she's learned, one that doesn't take into account the reactions and expectations of an audience, isn't a good one.
"Claire" nods, resolute. A soft earnestness in her smile that Junna herself does not usually let anyone bear witness. ]
Next year! I can hardly wait–
[ The two break away and separate. Junna addresses her audience again, voice firm and unlike "Claire's". ]
And so a full cycle of seasons passed– Claire counted the days, the months, the moments and seconds until she would see Flora again. She could never quite fathom what it was that drew her to Flora so, but some things needed no explanation.
[ She gazes at Nana from the corner of her eye, brief before she turns to her audience again. ]
Some people simply belonged together– complements, two halves of one whole, we all yearn for someone to discover and accept the parts of us we keep hidden away or do not dare to unearth.
[ Junna and Nana move again, and the scene shifts but takes them all back to the same festival at a different time. ]
Flora!
[ Again, Junna reaches for Nana's hands. There's a giddy excitement in her voice, like a child who can barely contain her glee. ]
It's been a whole year..but you've hardly changed! Your smile.. the way you move, even your perfume! It's all the same.. it's all familiar.
