VIP Area Near the Stage — Sunset
Drake guided Kaito toward the prepared seats near the stage.
Other dignitaries were already present: Kristina, Theron, the main community leaders.
Everyone looked toward the covered structure with evident anticipation.
"The queens specifically asked for you to be here," Drake said. "At this exact time."
Kaito processed the information.
"Why?"
"You'll see."
Drake offered no more details.
Kaito sat down.
Central position. Perfect view of the stage.
Hundreds of citizens had gathered in front of the structure. More arrived constantly.
Murmurs of anticipation.
"What is this?"
"What are they going to show?"
"I heard that the queens..."
Conversations mingled together.
Kaito tried to process the situation logically.
The five queens absent all day.
Aria disappeared as well.
An elaborate stage, built specifically.
Conclusion: a planned presentation. Nature unknown.
He should feel curiosity.
