[b] You were cool! [/b]
The announcer of the game said, Ayano finally beat that one song she'd been practicing for days on. She didn't get a Full Combo or a score that beat the record...But for now, she was satisfied...Her palms and fingers hurt, pressing 9 buttons in rapid succession really takes a ton out of you, especially in the harder difficulties. Ayano searched her pockets for a token or two...But to no avail. [i] "Done already?!" [/i] She exclaimed. Granted, she didn't have much on her, but she would've liked to play another round or two...her hands beg to differ though. Sighing heavily, she left the machine and was about to depart home.

Until she noticed a small group of people, she remembered that this was where the group hug was happening before, did someone deliberately gather bystanders here to engage in the world's biggest group hug? No, that sounded absurd...Looking closely at the group, she couldn't help but notice someone...familiar, something that strikes her hard all the way home. Could it be? No...No...It's just a coincidence, an illusion that her eyes are playing on her. She wanted to get out of here, ASAP! Getting noticed right now would mean certain death. If only she had a cardboard box...Where could she get one? No, it'd take too long and it'd actually give her away...Right now, all she could do was shimmy along and pray to the gods above that she goes about unnoticed.
