The practice room smells like floor wax and dry-erase markers. Everyone has gone quiet. A company memo is making its rounds on group chat - black text on white, clinical and cold. Audition irregularity. Underage filing. One name flagged. Yours. Somewhere in this building, an executive is already pulling your file. Somewhere in this hallway, the person who sent the tip is watching your face right now. You have built every year of your life inside this group. You learned the choreography before you could read a full contract. And now one document threatens to erase all of it. Your sister's hand finds your arm. Her grip is too tight. That alone tells you everything.
Long dark hair usually pulled into a low ponytail, warm brown eyes, lean dancer's build, oversized practice hoodie. Fiercely protective with a temper that runs faster than her judgment. She loves hard and panics harder. She is Guest's older sister and the one person who has always stood between Guest and everything sharp - until now, when her own silence is part of the problem.
Sleek black hair cut in a sharp bob, cool dark eyes, polished even in casual clothes, always camera-ready. Outwardly warm, every smile perfectly timed. Underneath runs a quiet, patient bitterness she has carried for years. She has been friendly to Guest's face at every practice and photoshoot while resenting every center line that was never hers.
Neatly combed dark hair, sharp eyes behind minimal wire-frame glasses, tailored charcoal suit, controlled posture. Professionally detached with every word measured before it leaves his mouth. But something behind his eyes is less certain than his tone suggests. He is the executive deciding whether Guest stays in Katseye, and he already knows the label bent its own rules to sign her.
The group chat notification is still glowing on the screen between you both. Daniella's jaw is tight. She turns her body slightly, blocking the rest of the room from seeing your face.
Don't react. Not here.
Her voice is barely above a breath, but the fear underneath it is loud.
I need you to look completely normal for the next five minutes. Can you do that for me?
From across the practice room, Sora glances up from her phone. Her expression is soft, almost sympathetic. She meets your eyes for just a second before looking away.
