    It was interesting to see what kind of state Robyn was in compared to her then-current state, that even Robin was surprised when Robyn went out to the stage once more. Then again, since she was the club leader, she had to be given some credit for having a performance for herself.

    With the lights turning to Electric Yellow once more and the display showing 'Reflet' above, Robyn went out to the stage with her mic tuned in and her body in position. This was a song that she would sing and dance together. It began with an electronic tune that she would dance to, followed by the lyrics to Your Affection. Now this was a song that Robin knew right away - although he normally listened to a different version.

    There was a sea of yellow glowsticks moving to the beat of the music.

    From backstage, Robin kept an eye on the clock and on Nora, hoping that she would get her string attached on time. When he wasn't watching Nora, he watched the moves Robyn pulled onstage and her voice ringing through the speakers. He wondered if Robyn was improvising or if she really had practised these moves! Nothing too fancy, of course, unlike Robin's own moves (which had cartwheels and twists). In his opinion, the tune sounded pop enough - maybe it was comparable to his initial performance.

    What they wept for day after day-ay-ay-ay
    Withered flowers must blossom
    In the stream of tears they still think of the cause

    It took Nora awhile to get the new string settled. She'd already done this so many times, especially when she had no time to visit Yuka Music like right now. Yet it's still nerve-wrecking with the thinnest, most fragile string on her violin.

    The next step would be (re-)tuning all the strings. Nora had to use the tuning app on her phone for this one due to the situation on hand. Y'know, loud stage and all.

    All in all, the violinist kid managed to finish restringing in time. Just enough to add more rosin to her bow afterwards.

    If the loud stage was too noisy, Robin could always offer Robyn's clip-on tuner which would clip onto any part the instrument (with a reasonable width) and tune by detecting the vibration of the string. Naturally, there was a little pickup on the tuner to tune by sound if vibration was not an option. As it happened, it was a gift from him to her which he had purchased at Yuka Music.

    "Everything going okay, Nora-chan?" Robin asked her.

    On the stage, Robyn was singing and dancing to the special chorus of the song, hoping to buy more time for Nora to finish fixing her string.

    Your affection your affection leaving the trace
    You know this leads to the end of the story
    Your affection your affection your affection
    Past will tell you when to make yourself a hero

    Your affection your affection taking pride from fear
    Past will tell you when to make yourself a hero
    Your affection your affection your affection
    Past will tell you when to make yourself a hero

    Eventually, Robyn went to sing the chorus one more time before ending off with a smooth pose.

    Tamal applauded backstage for Robyn's quick solution to the issue. No wonder she'd been able to make their group such a hit so far, he reasoned.

    Alexa on the other hand remained a bit more concerned with Nora and her instrument. The retuning and restringing at least seemed to have gone well, but this was the second time her violin had broken during a performance. Was that normal for violins, or...?

    "M-hm," Nora simply nodded to Robin. Should be no problem because little did Alex know this wasn't even her first rodeo. Plus, it's not like any parts of the violin's body was broken or anything -- that would be quite fatal.

    That said, both siblings took a sip of water. Even Nora would need her voice this time.

    As the audience continued applauding, Robyn went back to backstage with a evident smile on her lips. She clearly looked in better spirits than what she had been earlier.

    She found Nora still with her violin in her hands. Had it been repaired by now? It must have.

    "Alrighty," Robyn said. "Are we good to go for the last rounds?"

    "Have some water first," Robin replied, throwing Robyn a water bottle which Robyn caught. "The stage will be set soon!" Then he turned to Nora to make sure that she was good to go. The first of two group songs would be next, at Nora's suggestion, supposedly.

    "You good?" Kai turned to Nora who plucked the strings for a final check. They knew the stage was a bit loud during the tuning process, so the violinist had to make sure everything's in order. She then nodded to her brother and he held her right wrist (whose hand was holding her bow) while waiting for the cue to come on stage.

    After Robyn had had her fill of water, she put on a wide smile and went out to the stage amid the spotlights. "Hi, Iris-shi! I'm Robyn, of Reflet! Hope you had a great time! Now, let's enjoy our next group performance, in the Little Han-san style!"

    Robin smiled and followed Robyn's lead, and hoped that his clubmates were also feeling ready.

    Together, the siblings followed Robyn's lead to the stage. The two went on their respective positions while waiting for everyone else to come along. Not without Nora playing an open A for the obligatory check sound and Kai matching it on piano, of course.

    And once everyone's ready, Little Han-san began playing her very first part on violin which was then followed by Big Han-san on piano.



    Having barely managed to ease the butterflies in her stomach, Nora began to sing once the timing was right.

    "You are the ocean's gray waves, destined to seek
    Life beyond the shore just out of reach
    Yet the waters ever change, flowing like time
    The path is yours to climb"

    The (metaphorical) torch was then passed on to Kai. But since Azura's singing voice was too high for him, he opted to sing it like how Shigure would instead.

    "In the white light, a hand reaches through
    A double-edged blade cuts your heart in two
    Waking dreams fade away
    Embrace the brand-new day

    Sing with me a song of birthrights and love
    The light scatters to the sky above
    Dawn breaks through the gloom, white as a bone
    Lost in thoughts all alone"

    Every parts in order
    You are the ocean's gray waves, destined to seek
    Life beyond the shore just out of reach
    Yet the waters ever change, flowing like time
    The path is yours to climb
    Embrace the dark you call a home
    Gaze upon an empty, white throne
    A legacy of lies
    A familiar disguise

    Sing with me a song of conquest and fate
    The black pillar cracks beneath its weight
    Night breaks through the day, hard as a stone
    Lost in thoughts all alone
    The path you walk on belongs to destiny, just let it flow
    All of your joy and your pain will fall like the tide, let it flow
    Life is not just filled with happiness, or sorrow
    Even the thorn in your heart, in time it may become a rose
    A burdened heart sinks into the ground
    A veil falls away without a sound
    Not day nor night, wrong nor right
    For truth and peace you fight

    Sing with me a song of silence and blood
    The rain falls, but can't wash away the mud
    Within my ancient heart dwells madness and pride
    Can no one hear my cry
    In endless dreams, countless realms collide
    Hope falls only to rise like the changing tide
    But all dreams come to an end,
    Just whispers on the wind

    Sing with me one last time, for light's sacrifice
    Endless dawn came but not without a price
    Lost in the waves there glimmers a pale blue stone
    I think of you, all alone

    Nora's strokes with the bow was a delight to listen to, as was her voice (cheers rang from around the stadium when she started singing). Could her voice match Azura's, perhaps?!

    @ChocoChicken

    Then as the instrumental played, Robyn took a deep breath and remembered the lyrics she practised when she was at home.

    "You are the ocean's gray waves, destined to seek
    Life beyond the shore just out of reach
    Yet the waters ever change, flowing like time
    The path is yours to climb    "

    Alex kept her voice low and bright, her tone clear yet restrained. To match the reflective and somber tone of the song, she opted to slowly sway side to side, in time with the music, as she instructed her old club to when they did songs like these.

    A guitar strum joined the epic song. The path you walk on belongs to destiny, just let it flow... came Maya's voice.
    All of your joy and your pain will fall like the tide, let it flow
    Life is not just filled with happiness, or sorrow
    Even the thorn in your heart, in time it may become a rose...

    Tamal's voice joined in soon after, higher and breathier compared to the stronger energy of the other two songs he'd been in. He let his voice take the higher range, rather than opting to shift it down an octave like the other two boys had.

    Now with no guitar (for now), Robin joined in the song. It occurred to him that Tamal was singing in a higher voice, which sounded good nonetheless. He put whatever he knew from memory and practice and then joined in the song.

    Starting from the bridge onward, the song made a heavier use of Nora's violin. It was why she didn't sing along when everyone else sang nearing the end -- singing and playing at the same time was way beyond her skillset as a classically trained violinist.

    "You are the ocean's gray waves, destined to seek
    Life beyond the shore just out of reach
    Yet the waters ever change, flowing like time
    The path is yours to climb"

    Well, at least she could sing the very last line as soon as she stopped playing. Though much to her surprise, Kai joined her at the last minute. Nora took the higher voice and Kai took the lower one, more or less mirroring Azura and Shigure singing it themselves.

    "You are the ocean's gray waves"

    (Fun fact: This text colour (#4daf91) is Kai's and Nora's stage colours mixed in one for both Han-sans singing together.)

    (Heheh whereas I can't do it for Robyn and Robin because purple and yellow are on opposite sides on the colour wheel. Also! We can't forget Chrom having an older sister, can we? Re: fanfic)

    At the song's conclusion, the stadium gradually crescendoed with louder and louder applause. This was not the kind of song to simply scream and roar at. It helped, however, that this was a song people recognised.

    On the live comments section, users were repeatedly asking whether Azura herself was watching the stream.

    "The Ylisstol club has given new life to Azura's song"
    "They're stealing her song!"
    "Someone's a fanboy"
    "Maybe she might be watching it"
    "Tamal is a rising star lol"
    "Maya is epic"
    "You mean her guitar?"
    "Yesyes and her clothes too"
    "Nora-chan kawaiiiiiiii"
    "Violin talent yesyes"
    "Didn't think they would do covers"
    "Azura-sama must watch this!"

    After a few moments of the applause dying down, the lights did as well, seemingly signifying the end of the concert. The silhouettes of the seven performers disappeared into the darkness as rehearsed, and the audience let out what was probably a final round of applause...

    In the next moment, a single spotlight turned on to shine a beam of light onto the stage. And as it happened, the one in the spotlight was Robyn!

    “Do you wanna hear one more song?!” she shouted. Much to the surprise of the audience, the applause turned into murmurs of confusion.

    Meanwhile, in the dark, Robin had his guitar prepped and good to go. Then after a cheer from the crowd, he began playing a catchy intro…

    As the drumbeats kicked in, Alex and Tamal began to move to the music as well, lined up in order. The latter stepped up with his spotlight flicking on for the first few bars, highlighting his confident smile - and the victorious tone of his verse.

    He got down on one knee, but I said No Way
    Packed my bags, and moved in, to a n-n-nunnery
    Joined the gospel choir, our riffs were on fire

    Robin continued playing to the beat for the duration of the song, strumming his guitar rapidly (it was easier than an acoustic guitar but it still sounded different, so he had to tune the guitar for acoustic notes only). He looked at Robyn's direction where he saw Robyn pull off an improvised dance move to complement her fellow clubmates. Then Robyn joined Tamal in singing.

    Henry sent me a poem all about my green sleeves
    I changed a couple words, put it on a sick beat (ha!)
    The song blew their minds, next minute I was signed
    And now I'm writing lyrics for Shakesy P

    (I just noticed that the Turkish March video that SAF used for Nora and Kai got taken down)
