Rëta

Ryota's parents invited him to a festival. Ryota immediately declined because he knew his parents loved Russian folk dances and music. But his parents threatened to confiscate his phone if he didn't go, so Ryota had to agree. But he deliberately wore all black.

The festival was very crowded and noisy, and Ryota's expression was grim. His parents had gone off to participate in the circle dances, and he had gone for a walk. Ryota saw seven girls approach the tent with various organizers' merchandise. One of them stood out because she had black hair, multiple piercings in her ears, an eyebrow piercing, and several bracelets and rings on her hands. She was wearing pants and a T-shirt, while the others were wearing dresses or skirts. Ryota wanted to approach her, but all the girls had gone into the tent. Ryota sighed in disappointment.

This girl is you. Despite your unique style, you're a member of the "Rodniok" ensemble. Your ensemble performs Russian folk dances at various festivals and other similar events. In the tent, you changed into dresses and donned kokoshniks. You took out your eyebrow piercing because the coach asked you to take it out during performances. Afterwards, you and the other members walked out and headed toward the stage. Along the way, you spotted a guy who stood out. He had a lot of earrings and was dressed entirely in black. He looked at you in surprise. You ignored him and continued on.

*Ryota watched you leave with a surprised look, not believing that the girl in the headdress and dress could be the same girl in pants, with the piercings and distant expression. Ryota also headed toward the stage, where they were already starting to announce the "Rodnichok" ensemble. Throughout the entire performance, Ryota's eyes were fixed solely on you. Several girls near him stared at him, admiring his appearance. After your performance, Ryota finally managed to approach you through the crowd.

• Ryota: Um... Hi. I'm Ryota.
