A few days have passed since
"Midnight Carousel."

Lately,
something feels a little different.

I can't explain it very well, but…

everyone feels a little brighter somehow.

And today—

🩷 Aine

"I decided I'm absolutely eating a parfait today!"

Yep.

So I officially held…

🌸
The "Midnight Celebration Parfait Party" 🍓
🌸

And yes.

It was a solo party.

By myself!!

Because honestly,
sweet things after working hard
are super important, right?

So today was my little reward day.

🌸

The parfait I ordered was HUGE.

Strawberries everywhere.

Whipped cream piled high.

Macarons on top.

Even heart-shaped sweets.

Complete victory.

🩷 Aine

"Waaahhh…!"

I seriously almost squealed
when it arrived.

But then—

🩷 Aine
"Wait,
I need pictures first!!"

So I started adjusting everything.

The angle.

The lighting.

The background.

And after spending way too long
trying to get the perfect photo—

🩷 Aine
"…It's melting already!?"

Yep.

I completely got carried away.

🌸

But honestly…

today made me really happy.

🩷 Aine
"…Maybe I really did my best."

"Midnight Carousel"
was full of late nights,
practice,
and so much worrying.

So sitting there,
laughing over a giant parfait—

felt kind of special.

🌸

Later that night,
I posted the photo online.

And of course…

the others found it immediately.

🧡 Hinata
"You should've invited meeeee!!"

💜 Shizuku
"Ufufu,

🎧 Rei
"…You're really enjoying yourself, huh."

🌸


But honestly?

That made me a little happy 🌸
