Eventually, Luna’s name was called, and it did not take long. The pitter patter of her feet could have been heard as she entered the stage from the back and stood still at the center to introduce herself. Her words were formal. Her posture was poised. And now, she was about to be set loose into -

A common practice in witch culture was… what was to be done when there was a problematic relationship. When the partner learned too much, began to expose too much. Luckily, Luna thought she had avoided this. She had told off the council and successfully convinced them to leave her alone. -

The way she says it so blankly… To Luna’s unique senses, it is almost akin to the goosebump-inducing feeling of being lied to and knowing that you are. However, she can still notice something. Her genuine effort into making a smile. Luna softly nods in return and tries one herself, successfully. -

For Luna… it was much more… noticeable than usual. Usually, she heard people’s own unique melodies quite clearly. As if it were a part of their identity that she could sense and feel. But from Natsuki now, she felt… rather unnerved. A bit frightened by the sheer lack of everything there. Her own -
