The sudden appearance of Starbeam, after a long silence in the group chat, brought back a sense of apprehension to Emerson, even as Rosy Secret's leader. Emerson was puzzled by the intense vibe a young woman like her could radiate. Reflecting on the band's recent actions, Emerson felt a pang of guilt.

"I caught your show earlier," Norah stated, her look icy. "I was... Surprised."

Emerson clenched his left fist. "Is that so? Well, the band has been performing together for years. It'd be disappointing if we hadn't made any progress."
