"I will never let you go… Oh oh!"
Somner was in heaven. On stage, Stella Banner's voice soared into the night, every note shining bright as the two stars on his chest.
And Somner…
Somner was screaming along, hands waving like a diehard fan who'd camped for tickets.
"I WILL NEVER LET YOU GOOOO OH OH!" He sang along, a little off-tune.
Aphrodite finally tore his gaze from the stage. He'd been humming along too, but something clicked. He scanned the crowd.
"Wait. Where's Ymir? And Magni? And Hermes?"
Somner barely heard. He was busy trying to hit Stella's impossible pitch, voice cracking like glass.
"Somner!" Aphrodite grabbed his sleeve, shaking him. "Did you see where they went?"
He blinked at him, dazed. "Hm? Uh… probably around."
"Probably around?" He frowned. "You didn't notice any of them vanish from right next to you?"
"I was in the zone!" Somner protested, hands flailing. "Banner Zone! Once you enter, there's no leaving!"
