Chapter Text
Many words can be used to describe the Kessoku band’s lead guitarist.
Silent, creepy and timid are just a few of the descriptive adjectives one might use to categorize Hitori Gotoh.
The moonlight coming from her window somehow casts the introverted girl into shadow, the spotlight always avoiding her somehow.
The girl shakes in bed, thinking of all the interpretations her schoolmates could have of her now.
“Cool and popular is definitely not one of them!”
Hitori was having a spiral of thoughts again.
“The entire performance was so bad! My image will never recover! They’ll never know me as the cool and confident rocking guitarist, I’ll forever be known as the ‘crazy rocker who dived’. Now because of this, I’ll forever be known as weird and because of my mistake the band will suffer!!!”
Her train of thoughts was starting to look like a wreckage.
“I'm so sorry! Ryo-Senpai, Nijika-Senpai and Kita-Chan. Please forgive my arrogance!”
The bubblegum colored girl tossed and turned in her bed, unable to drift off into a world of dreams due to being stuck in her own world of worst-case scenarios.
Her delusional mind convinced every fiber of her being that the cultural festival’s performance going terribly was all her fault and that she should suffer for her sins.
“And…! And..! God, I wish the ground would swallow me up!!!”
Hitori was just thinking of ways to repent for her supposed ‘wrongdoings’ during the songs.
Almost as if her words caused an actual reaction in the earth to occur, Hitori would suddenly be plunged into darkness.
The ground LITERALLY opening up to swallow her whole, her body diving down through the air.
The wind blew past her ears, creating a choir of howls that radiated all around as Hitori seemingly fell into a dark and damp void.
Before everything went black with a sudden impact that knocked the air out of her lungs.
Golden flowers danced above Hitori’s aquamarine pupils, stirred by the sudden force of the fall.
The girl didn’t really have time to react from to the pain, only having time for closing thoughts before she shut off.
“I’m…sorry.”
