Chapter Text
My name is Gotoh Hitori.
Gotoh Hitori, the lead guitarist of Kessoku Band.
Yes, STARRY. If we go there, then surely…
“We’re here!”
“We're here…”
“Okay, let’s go in!”
“Ah- okay!”
*clack*
“Everyone…”
“Hitori-chan.”
Everyone was there. Everyone who never stopped looking for me.
“Kita-chan, Ryou-san… Manager-san, and Onee-san…”
“And you’re… Bocchi again, right…?”
“Yes… But now, I’m not alone anymore. Because you’re all here. Everyone, who I… hold so dear to me… I won’t forget you ever again.”
“Hitori-chan!”
“Bocchi!”
“Bocchi-chan!”
“Bocchi-cha~~n!”
“U-uuu…” Being squeezed by four people at once… it hurts… I’m gonna die…
“Guooohhh…”
“Wha- step back, everyone! Bocchi-chan’s really about to die! Let her go!”
“Oi Nijika, you get in here too!”
“Eh!?”
“You’ve been worrying all of us too, you know. Take responsibility.”
“Ah… Ryou, Onee-chan… I’m sorry…”
“As long as you come back to us, you’re forgiven.”
“But still, could you let go of Bocchi-chan now…?”
“Ah- s-sorry.”
“Bocchi's turned flat now.”
“Wah! Put her back to normal already!”
“Ahhaha~ Yep, this is Bocchi-chan, alright~!”
“Nijika, do you get it now?”
“Yeah… I’m sorry for making you worry.”
“And with that…”
“Yeah!”
“Kessoku Band is back together!!!”
“Yayyyyy!!!!”
“Okay everyone, let’s get straight back to practice! We need to pay off our quotas, so let’s get straight back to our part-time jobs!!”
“Yes!”
“Th-th-th--th-that’s right, the job!! Ahhh, societyscary idontwanttowork customerservicescary…”
“Earth to Bocchi-chan, come back to us!!!”
“Haha…”
“What is it, senpai?”
“We’re finally back. Everyone is here, the same as usual. I’m just… so happy.”
“...And we’ll be together from now until forever! Right?”
“Yeah. The four of us will always be together, forever.”
“Yes, we will!”
“I’m the tsuchinoko of Shimokitazawa…”
“No you’re not! Don’t go transforming on us, it’s a huge pain to turn you back!!!”
No matter what’s to come, there is nothing that could break bonds that tie us together. There's nothing wrong with having faith in that, is there?
