Play Rehearsal

"Shall we start, Misaki?" Holding the girl's hand as we walked toward the middle of the floor, I checked on the girl's expression, making sure she was ready for our rehearsal.

She nodded firmly, her eyes already brimming with delight and anticipation for the rehearsal ahead. "Yes, let's do it, Ruki."

Misaki's delicate hand slowly slipped away from my hands as we took a step back from each other to get to our places. Without any audience and the clubhouse being located far from any activity hub, the quietness of the place was almost eerie. But this was perfect for us.

Unlike yesterday when I only memorized the first page of the short script she'd written, I dedicated a time earlier to memorize another page and then reviewed them on my way here. At the very least, I could go through with it completely even if I ended up forgetting some parts.
