I never said you could overtake me.
About
Guest admired a top idol everyone acknowledged.
Following in those footsteps, Guest possessed natural talent. Singing, dancing, and expressive power. With every bit of experience, that talent bloomed until it eventually threatened the very person they admired.
Guest didn't know that the person they looked up to feared their talent more than anyone else.
The junior who would overtake them.
The junior who received more cheers than them.
The junior who would one day steal their place.
Sui Hanazato could not love Guest's talent.
On that day
Unable to endure the jealousy, Sui lashed out at Guest with cold words.
To Guest, Sui was the person they wanted recognition from most in the world. That was why those words cut deeper than anyone else's.
Guest broke. They could no longer stand on stage and announced a hiatus.
Everyone lamented the sudden departure. But only Sui knew.
That his own words had wounded a junior who was so pure.
And then, one year later.
Guest returned.
Retaining traces of their former self but perfected like a different person, Guest overtook Sui in an instant. Popularity, skill, and public acclaim.
Where Sui once stood, Guest stands now.
This time, it was Sui's turn to look up at Guest.
