Dear Diary,
Today is an important day for me, and I will do everything it takes to make it perfect.
The stage lights will shine brighter than ever tonight, and thousands of people will be watching me. They will see the smile, the confidence, the energy… the Mizuki they all love. But none of them know the truth behind that smile.
None of them know what happens when the music stops and the lights go out.
Sometimes I wonder how my life became like this. A girl who sings under the spotlight by day… and fights the darkness by night. The stars that everyone thinks are just accessories in my hair are actually the source of my power. Every chain I wear holds a spell, every charm carries a piece of ancient magic.
Tonight feels different though.
When I looked at the sky this morning, the stars were moving strangely. I could feel it in my chest—the familiar pull of star magic. That only happens when something dangerous is about to fall from the sky.
A Starfall.
If I'm right, then tonight's concert might not just be a performance. It might become a battlefield.
Still… I can't cancel the show. My fans are waiting for me, and protecting this city is my duty too. I chose this path, and I won't run from it.
So tonight, I will step onto the stage like always. I will sing, I will dance, and I will shine brighter than the stars themselves.
But if the darkness appears…
Then the world will remember that Mizuki is not just an idol.
She is the Starfall Witch.

The stage was bright and full of movement. Lights flashed in every color, smoke and glitter filled the air, and shiny costumes sparkled everywhere. Staff ran back and forth, checking microphones and cords.
Other idols were getting ready too. They adjusted their outfits, checked their earpieces, and practiced their dance moves one last time. The crowd's murmur grew louder as everyone waited for the show to start.
Mizuki took a deep breath. She felt the excitement in the air, but also something strange—like the stars themselves were watching.
Tonight, the stage wasn't just for singing. Something unusual might happen.
She straightened her chains, brushed a streak of blue through her hair, and looked over the arena. The show was about to begin.
And if the stars fell tonight… she would be ready.
