()<Speaker>Commander</Speaker>||:... +You were on the stage just a few songs ago.
()<Speaker></Speaker>||:You point at the stage. Late Night Café and Gray Tree made a guest appearance and performed during the concert as well. +Among the members of Gray Tree was a keyboardist that you've never seen before...

()<Speaker>Commander</Speaker>||:...
()<Speaker></Speaker>||:You look the silver-haired girl up and down suspiciously.

NPC-Fans(0)<Speaker>Die-Hard Fan</Speaker><Position>0,-250</Position><Scale>1.7</Scale>||<分支>1</分支>:Oh, because several idol groups have reported me as a stalker.

()<Speaker></Speaker>||<SE1>ClothingUp</SE1>:You point at her angrily, but she just grabs your finger.

NPC-Fans(0)<Speaker>Die-Hard Fan</Speaker><Position>0,-250</Position><Scale>1.7</Scale>||:Nope, you should be spending time alone with each other.
