The concert was supposed to begin around sunset, giving them an opportunity to explore the city. It was almost like their fictional adventure, travelling somewhere far and seeing sights, having new experiences.

Meanwhile, Ash was asked to investigate the accident including the plane due for Tokyo. Since he was Japan's tech business heir and Korea's entertainment idol, this was one of the situations where he had to be careful to separate the two worlds.

"There were only a few casualties", the officer explained in Japanese, "Some of which resulted in death. But the interviewed survivors of the crash all say that they don't remember any events leading to it. Just waking up on floating steel"

"What was the statement from the pilot?"

"He did mention that the satnav mysteriously shutting off was the last thing he remembered before the crash. But other than that, his story is the same as the passengers and flight attendants. Any other details that could be helpful?"

"...The company that developed the aircraft?"

The officer scribbled words on a piece of paper and handed it to him. Seeing the notes, Ash didn't know what to think.

"The cafes are all so exquisite!", Serena chirped.

"You tell me", agreed Tierno, stuffing his mouth with noodles, "But we should get going. The concert is starting soon"

The group hurried to a bus station, struggling to push past the endless crowds, all wearing identical merchandise.

"That's weird", said Mairin, "A band under Big Hit is performing in the same stadium at Ash, at the same time!"

"Obviously", Clemont snickered, "Ash is a part of that"

"How'd you know that? You weren't already a fan like me or Serena", Sawyer asked.

"...He told me"

"You guys are really getting close, huh"

Hours later and they were experiencing not only one of the best moments of their lives. but something unusual. Though it was just a dream and their real life meetings with Ash had been much different, they never thought they'd see him singing and dancing.

Undeniably, he was good at it. It was still a little out of the ordinary, in a funny way.

As if the last few days of their lives had been ordinary at all.
