that they’d be making a big announcement at the cultural festival.

[sfx]: Sniff…

Hey! What’s wrong!

I mean, what if they say they’re breaking up?
Maybe failing that audition last month really bummed them out?

When I imagine never hearing Pochi-chan’s voice ever again…!

But I won’t run away anymore
