- August 3, 2002
Mitsuki Koyama is flustered, anxious, and excited all at once. Her big audition is only a few short hours away, and she's running late. When she finally arrives, her nerves are already frayed from the rush, and they're only inflamed by the atmosphere of the audition room.
The other participants - young girls all around Mitsuki's age - are rehearsing their lines and singing practice songs. Mitsuki has always been a talented singer, but she's still unsure of herself in such a competitive environment. She takes her place in line, gritting her teeth and gathering all the confidence she can muster.
As she waits, she spots Takuto, the helpful Shinigami who's been assisting her with her singing since the beginning of her journey. Takuto provides her with some words of encouragement, reminding Mitsuki that she's come so far already and that she has no reason to hold back now. Still, Mitsuki is filled with doubts and fears, plagued by the possibility of failure.
Finally, the audition begins. One by one, the girls step forward and deliver their lines, hit their notes, and smile for the judges. Mitsuki finds herself trembling with each performer, clutching her chances tightly in her trembling hands. But when it's her turn, she takes a deep breath and approaches the mic with determination.
With a steady hand, Mitsuki launches into her song. Her voice soars, warm and sweet, reaching all the corners of the room. The judges listen intently, nodding and exchanging glances as Mitsuki hits each note perfectly. When she finishes, the room erupts in applause, and Mitsuki realizes that she's done it. She's given her all and sung from her heart, and it's paid off.
As Mitsuki tries to catch her breath, Takuto congratulates her on a job well done. He praises her courage and strength, and Mitsuki blushes at the compliments. It's such a strange feeling, to be validated and showered with praise for something she's always been so passionate about. It's a moment that Mitsuki will always remember, and one that she's grateful for.
After the audition is over, Mitsuki is visited by the kind manager of her favorite singer, who offers her some advice and support. She tells Mitsuki that she needs to work hard every day, keep practicing, and push herself even further. Mitsuki takes the advice to heart, knowing that she still has so much to learn and so much to give.
When Mitsuki returns home, she's greeted by her loving grandmother and aunt. They hug her tightly and congratulate her on her audition, telling her how proud they are of her. Mitsuki is filled with warmth and happiness, reminded of how much her family means to her and how supportive they've been all along.
Finally, as the day comes to a close, Mitsuki reflects on the experiences she's had and the lessons she's learned. She knows that there are still many challenges ahead, but with her passion and her determination, she's ready to face them head-on.
