- result of a caged angel’s voice suddenly set free and unleashed upon the entire universe.

❝ It’s time to try defying gravity
I think I’ll try defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye, I’m defying gravity
And you won’t bring me down! ❞

- acting chops were coming from a genuine place in her heart.

❝ Too late for second guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It’s time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes and leap ❞

Her voice went higher. It soared, it boomed, and then it reached into a perfect pitch that swept the theater. The -

- needs and her freedom.

❝ Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I’m through with playing by
The rules of someone else’s game ❞

Her voice started off low and fierce, like the uncertain and boiling roar of rebellion. It did not take a genius to realize that all of these -

𝕾𝖔𝖓𝖌 𝖔𝖋 𝕭𝖎𝖓𝖉𝖎𝖓𝖌 @dancinmacabre.bsky.social · Jul 3

- the fire.

But before she did, she saw the tomboy’s smile. A smile that arose in her confidence. A wave that inspired emotion far deeper than her initial trial and errors this morning and the week before.

Luna waved back and closed her eyes, immersing herself in the character, her wants, her -

𝕾𝖔𝖓𝖌 𝖔𝖋 𝕭𝖎𝖓𝖉𝖎𝖓𝖌 @dancinmacabre.bsky.social · Jul 3

Eventually, Luna’s name was called, and it did not take long. The pitter patter of her feet could have been heard as she entered the stage from the back and stood still at the center to introduce herself.

Her words were formal. Her posture was poised. And now, she was about to be set loose into -

of attraction of the entire auditorium.

The pinkette raised her hand up high, and waved at Luna, giving her a glance of support. And for just a few mere moments? There was a small smile donning unto the lips of the tomboy.

A sign of life and emotion just seeping out of her.

𝕾𝖔𝖓𝖌 𝖔𝖋 𝕭𝖎𝖓𝖉𝖎𝖓𝖌 @dancinmacabre.bsky.social · Jul 2

- first time.

𝕾𝖔𝖓𝖌 𝖔𝖋 𝕭𝖎𝖓𝖉𝖎𝖓𝖌 @dancinmacabre.bsky.social · Jul 2

- me on. ❞

Luna lifted up her dress as she made her way up onto the sidewalk, then towards the doors. But not before one more appreciative glance back at the tomboy. Perhaps she wouldn’t be so lonely…

The swinging doors shut behind her. And it would not be long before Luna took the stage for the -

𝕾𝖔𝖓𝖌 𝖔𝖋 𝕭𝖎𝖓𝖉𝖎𝖓𝖌 @dancinmacabre.bsky.social · Jul 2

- traditionally anymore.

At the sound of her chuckle, Luna actually chuckled back. It did sound quite strange, but in an even stranger way, her attempt seemed to warm her heart and encourage her even more.

❝ Yes… I believe you should be allowed in the seats. I’ll inform them you’ll be cheering -

𝕾𝖔𝖓𝖌 𝖔𝖋 𝕭𝖎𝖓𝖉𝖎𝖓𝖌 @dancinmacabre.bsky.social · Jul 2

❝ And I’ll make sure to give you a good show. It might lift your spirits. ❞

Luna offered another gaze of affection towards her friend. A part of her now decided that she wasn’t just doing this for her now. Natsuki too… deserved something bright, something happy. Even if she couldn’t experience it -

🧁ℕ𝕒𝕥𝕤𝕦𝕜𝕚🧁 @pinkytsun.bsky.social · Jul 2

"Singing too? Yes please. I'd love to listen. I should probably head to the audience, as I can't be joining the audition now, can I?"

An attempt to chuckle, it sounded really weird, but the effort was counted. She really enjoyed spending time with Luna.

𝕾𝖔𝖓𝖌 𝖔𝖋 𝕭𝖎𝖓𝖉𝖎𝖓𝖌 @dancinmacabre.bsky.social · Jul 2

- looked of decent quality.

Luna’s eyes glistened as if seeing an amusement park for the first time. Then they returned back to the hues of her first friend, still jittery from excitement and anticipation.

❝ I neglected to mention this, but… I will also be singing today. It’s a musical. ❞

𝕾𝖔𝖓𝖌 𝖔𝖋 𝕭𝖎𝖓𝖉𝖎𝖓𝖌 @dancinmacabre.bsky.social · Jul 2

- back?

Luna’s fingers grew a bit more comfortable in their position, resting affectionately, digit against digit. A soft chuckle exited her lips in response to her words.

❝ With you there, how could I not? ❞

After a bit of walking, the two would arrive at the theater. A small auditorium that -

𝕾𝖔𝖓𝖌 𝖔𝖋 𝕭𝖎𝖓𝖉𝖎𝖓𝖌 @dancinmacabre.bsky.social · Jul 2

- be reversed by a spell, or if Natsuki would even want that in the first place. But she did know this.

She was doing more to try and be her friend than anyone else in the world. And if the girl was doing so much to support her, then what kind of friend would she be if she didn’t support her -

𝕾𝖔𝖓𝖌 𝖔𝖋 𝕭𝖎𝖓𝖉𝖎𝖓𝖌 @dancinmacabre.bsky.social · Jul 2

If listened to enough times, one could even get used to the sound of nails on a chalkboard. Maybe with enough time, she’d be able to understand. Take that pill completely.

Hesitancy, uncertainty, still flowed relentlessly through her mind. She sensed that something like this could not so easily -

🧁ℕ𝕒𝕥𝕤𝕦𝕜𝕚🧁 @pinkytsun.bsky.social · Jul 2

on her, and never will. That's the kind of reassurance, Natsuki wanted to show to Luna.

"You're going to ace it, I just know it."

𝕾𝖔𝖓𝖌 𝖔𝖋 𝕭𝖎𝖓𝖉𝖎𝖓𝖌 @dancinmacabre.bsky.social · Jul 2

- human way.

All the while, though keeping her smile straight onto her face, she spoke in the most tender manner you could ever hear from a cackling witch.

❝ I’m so happy to have a friend like you… ❞

Her cheeks were wet.

𝕾𝖔𝖓𝖌 𝖔𝖋 𝕭𝖎𝖓𝖉𝖎𝖓𝖌 @dancinmacabre.bsky.social · Jul 2

- accepted her condition, even if it was one hell of a pill for her to swallow.

This time, Luna wouldn’t take the easy way out of teleporting into the room or mysteriously appearing at random. She would walk through the park, through the trees and the nice path laid out for her, the long and -

𝕾𝖔𝖓𝖌 𝖔𝖋 𝕭𝖎𝖓𝖉𝖎𝖓𝖌 @dancinmacabre.bsky.social · Jul 2

❝ I would… like that. ❞

Luna’s fingers instinctively wrapped themselves around the pinkette’s tightly. She felt comfort in her touch. Somewhere deep within her, she could sense the effort to try; that resolute resolve.

That was enough for her right now. Without even saying a word, Miss Sonata -

🧁ℕ𝕒𝕥𝕤𝕦𝕜𝕚🧁 @pinkytsun.bsky.social · Jul 2

Natsuki stayed true to her words and right now, gripping her hand in hand, together.

"Best friends. As promised. So please don't worry. I'll always make time for you, okay? How about we go see this audition? I'll support you all the way, hm?"

𝕾𝖔𝖓𝖌 𝖔𝖋 𝕭𝖎𝖓𝖉𝖎𝖓𝖌 @dancinmacabre.bsky.social · Jul 2

-one big, sparkly smile. Fully taken in by her kindness despite all of her senses telling her that it wasn’t real. And so, Sonata pretended — with all her might — that things were going to be okay.

Just like always.

❝ Right… Best friends! ❞

𝕾𝖔𝖓𝖌 𝖔𝖋 𝕭𝖎𝖓𝖉𝖎𝖓𝖌 @dancinmacabre.bsky.social · Jul 2

- Maybe what truly scared her wasn’t how much that dull and emotionless tone reminded her of her mentor, but because she was losing yet another special part of her life to change.

But…

Luna wanted to be an actress, right?

This was her first challenge.

As Natsuki squeezed her hand, she let out -

𝕾𝖔𝖓𝖌 𝖔𝖋 𝕭𝖎𝖓𝖉𝖎𝖓𝖌 @dancinmacabre.bsky.social · Jul 2

-

But…

Not at the cost of this happening once before. And now, in some twisted joke of fate, she couldn’t cheat it and have her whole cake and eat it. It was all happening in reverse.

The memories were intact. No memory wipe. But she didn’t know if the emotion that made them whole remained.

-

𝕾𝖔𝖓𝖌 𝖔𝖋 𝕭𝖎𝖓𝖉𝖎𝖓𝖌 @dancinmacabre.bsky.social · Jul 2

A common practice in witch culture was… what was to be done when there was a problematic relationship. When the partner learned too much, began to expose too much.

Luckily, Luna thought she had avoided this. She had told off the council and successfully convinced them to leave her alone.

-

🧁ℕ𝕒𝕥𝕤𝕦𝕜𝕚🧁 @pinkytsun.bsky.social · Jul 2

Again with her tone. Dammit. She didn't think this would be such a bother, and she hated how she's making Luna feel unnerved about it.

So Natsuki held upon her hand, squeezing gently to let her know, that she won't abandon her.

"I promised you right? We're friends. You're not alone in this..."

𝕾𝖔𝖓𝖌 𝖔𝖋 𝕭𝖎𝖓𝖉𝖎𝖓𝖌 @dancinmacabre.bsky.social · Jul 2

-

But when her shift in mood was addressed, she couldn’t help but lower her face, feeling conflict in her mind, but, not wanting to speak it directly. She’d spent too much time repressing her actual desires for that to be easy for her.

❝ I just…

I’m afraid.

That I will be lonely again. ❞

𝕾𝖔𝖓𝖌 𝖔𝖋 𝕭𝖎𝖓𝖉𝖎𝖓𝖌 @dancinmacabre.bsky.social · Jul 2

The way she says it so blankly… To Luna’s unique senses, it is almost akin to the goosebump-inducing feeling of being lied to and knowing that you are.

However, she can still notice something. Her genuine effort into making a smile. Luna softly nods in return and tries one herself, successfully.

-

🧁ℕ𝕒𝕥𝕤𝕦𝕜𝕚🧁 @pinkytsun.bsky.social · Jul 2

Was she acting this way because...of who Natsuki is now?

"You...You don't look so good though. If anything you should be really happy that you're able to move on and do what you like...what's...bothering you?"

It...It has to be because of her...

𝕾𝖔𝖓𝖌 𝖔𝖋 𝕭𝖎𝖓𝖉𝖎𝖓𝖌 @dancinmacabre.bsky.social · Jul 2

- which was a common tick for when she was being… interrogated. Though she did try quite earnestly to appear happy on the subject. To not appear — strange.

❝ I-It is alright, I just…

I suppose I’m worried about…

…change…

…that’s all. ❞

She took two steps backwards.

𝕾𝖔𝖓𝖌 𝖔𝖋 𝕭𝖎𝖓𝖉𝖎𝖓𝖌 @dancinmacabre.bsky.social · Jul 2

❝ I-I… uh… I just auditioned for a local theater production. I want to… become an actress… ❞

She would explain with a bit more chipperness in her voice. Though a bit of hesitancy and nervousness too. It felt almost like she was facing the woman in the hallway once more. A hand was held to her arm -

🧁ℕ𝕒𝕥𝕤𝕦𝕜𝕚🧁 @pinkytsun.bsky.social · Jul 2

"...You were leaving the mansion...and I saw you were even hopping with glee...did...did something happen? Are you okay? Why the sudden gloomy mood?"

Kind of ironic that she's the one asking that. When everything else that seemed out of place was coming from the pinkette herself.

𝕾𝖔𝖓𝖌 𝖔𝖋 𝕭𝖎𝖓𝖉𝖎𝖓𝖌 @dancinmacabre.bsky.social · Jul 2

- mood seemed to drop, and her smile began to deflate despite her best attempts to keep it there. Her excited voice was slowed down as well, and she coyly turned her head back to — the standard.

It was the same type of melody she associated with…

…the head witch.

❝ Oh… Just… walking. ❞
