A Day for Themselves

It was night at the Golden Cosmos Agency, and the central lounge was quiet, save for the low rumble of strategic planning.

Victoria and Zara sat at a polished table, a stack of papers and folders spread out between them.

The soft glow of the room's lighting reflected off Victoria's teacup as she sipped, her composure as steady as ever.

Zara, on the other hand, flipped nervously through a folder, her brow furrowed.

"We need to ensure we're competitive," Zara said. "With Eratz and Raya's popularity, everyone will be watching us closely. This is the perfect opportunity to get visibility for the next finales, but we need to perform in team battles too. An exhibition match could help us gauge the team's readiness... and deflect some pressure."

Victoria placed her cup gently on the table, her sharp eyes meeting Zara's.

"You think they'll pass the selections and handle the pressure of the team battles?"
