Summary
The melodies spilling from Miku’s lips were far too familiar—not just to Kaito, he knew, but to the rest of their friends, to most if not all of the staff working today, and to a larger portion of their fans than he was aware of. Sometimes, Kaito found himself humming the same melodies, but back then, it made his chest swell out of his pride in Miku and how far she had come. It used to not make his throat tighten and his heart sink as much as they did now.
He couldn’t imagine what it was like for Miku right now.
—kaito and meiko listen to miku practice.

Rin is about as excited as you'd expect from someone with energy as boundless as hers. She's antsy, just itching to jump onto that stage and start singing and dancing for the crowd outside already—they did come to celebrate their anniversary with them, after all, and she and Len had put in so much time practicing just for this day. They're going to make this performance count if it's the last thing they do, and Rin is ready to do just that.
Len, on the other hand, is terrified.
—rin and len prepare for their first solo performance.

"Agh!" Teto suddenly groaned in frustration at her own indecisiveness, and grabbed Miku by the shoulders. "What if they don't like me?!"
Miku exclaimed in surprise, catching the brief attention of passersby around them, and quickly switched over to trying to calm her down. "Hey, it’s okay! It's not like you're a total stranger to them, Teto-chan. You know Yuki-chan and Miki-san. Hiyama-sensei and Iroha-chan, too! And—"
"I haven’t had a proper conversation with them in years! And have you seen how many more people have joined them since then??"
—miku accompanies teto to a new office.
