Knowing Narita he'll go the extra mile and cosplay as Aya for the roll call.

Shu-chan making a strong showing for Hater of the Year.

Assuming Mitsuki gets a confidence boost from seeing Aya and decides to play her solo section which goes over well with the crowd, I wonder if the other band members will be upset at her or accept to integrate her style.

Narita best wingman.

Mitsuki really feels insecure about her position within this band--probably feels terrible knowing she's accepted this position as well. I'm sure she's worried how uncool and spineless she'll look in front of Aya. I wonder if she's not been fully upfront with Aya about her place in the band. Will this be a shock to Aya?

Aya's coming could go a lot of ways. Mitsuki could spiral worse, or Aya could help her feel better after noticing how uncomfortable Mitsuki is up there.

There's also the chance Aya winds up loving the performance and that reaction more than anything could make Mitsuki feel uncomfortable, lost and alone up there. This would be notable, because it would be an internal issue for them to overcome together and as a writer I can't deny the allure of that choice. Being a 4 pager, might make handling that turn difficult though, so maybe not. This is interesting, no matter how it goes. I'm looking forward to how this plays out.

This is the reverse situation to the school prom, where in that case it was Mitsuki saying she wasn't going but then turned up.

I think that Mitsuki knows that the band, as it stands, is not right for her but she seems not to have the confidence to move on. I hope Aya turning up will give her the push to change things around.

i did NOT expect people would be so upset over the cheating joke or take it so seriously.

but whatever, im looking forward to seeing the impact of aya seeing the performance. i agree with the other person that either direction would be fun to read.

I want this.

Even Mitsuki herself doesn't like where she's heading with this band, clearly this is the wrong place for her...

she needs to play her solo and MORE

Dude has come a long way from when he got introduced as a "jerkface". Now I'm wondering about the other dynamics in that band considering the way Mitsuki is reacting to cutting the solo in one song. It strikes me that there's some serious problems there, and I hope she separates away from those problems before it causes MORE problems for her.
