Ev3ns Stage

Ev3ns Stage

Fan A

It’s finally time for the HosLive! The tour was really fun, but I’ve been looking forward to this all day!

Fan B

We’ve been following Ev3ns since their early guerrilla gig days, so we’re probably the most excited fans here!

Kodama

(Hm… As their first fan, I claim my spot at the very front!! I’ll protect this with my life…)

Hassaku

(This man ended up dragging me around the whole day… I’ll be keeping a close eye on this finale show.)

Tourist A

Today was sooo fun! I wasn’t super interested in Ev3ns at first, but I kinda like them now…

Tourist B

I might stan them if this show is good!

Hater A

Hmph… They’re totally gonna fuck up. I’ll get it on camera, upload it, and embarrass the whole group…

Fan C

That guy always posts nasty shit about Ev3ns on Spinet. I see a lot of other haters here too…

Fan D

Th-That doesn’t matter! Ev3ns has us to cheer them on!

Ruffian A

(Raito-san… EDG3 has got your back from the audience…!)

*crowd shouting*

Fan A

Ev3ns!! We were waiting for you!!

Hater A

Fuck off, fuck off! Nobody wants you here!!

Raito

<⁠Thank you for coming, everyone.⁠>

<⁠Before we start, I have something I’d like to say. We’ve already uploaded an apology, but…I’d like to reiterate how sorry I am for announcing my withdrawal and for the assault on stage the other day.⁠>

<⁠As you all know, all of us are here because we’re criminals. We’re not the perfect idols. We’re not flawless, brilliant, or filled with hopes and dreams.⁠>

<⁠I’m not sure what I should say…⁠>

<⁠……⁠>

Fan E

…Raito! You can do it!

Fan A

…! Y-Yeah! We’ll always be here to listen to you!!

Fan G

Raito-san! We’re here for you!! It’s okay!!

Raito

<⁠…Thank you, everyone…⁠>

<⁠Before I came here today, I realized my own weakness.⁠>

<⁠I learned how dishonest, selfish, and arrogant I was… But I also learned that I couldn’t live on my own.⁠>

<⁠When I was asked why I decided to be an idol, I used to say that I just found the idea fun or interesting. Or because I was asked to do it.⁠>

<⁠But now…I think differently.⁠>

<⁠……⁠>

<⁠In this life that we live, this day, this moment, it will all disappear without warning. But…⁠>

<⁠All of the people watching us today will join us in committing to memory a truth more real than any article you can find on the internet.⁠>

<⁠In this vast world, the only people who know our true selves as we live in this moment are the people in this audience.⁠>

<⁠In the same way, you are all alive in this moment, and you’re sharing that moment with us. Your true self is reflected in our eyes. This performance is only possible because all of us are here.⁠>

<⁠So I want you to stay here and see it through. It will give us strength.⁠>

<⁠We’re desperate to live our lives, and we want you to watch us as we do. We’ll respond to you with everything we have. This show will be made possible with you here.⁠>

<⁠You are the last piece to this performance. Because you’re here, Ev3ns is finally complete.⁠>

<⁠So…we’re all on equal ground. We’re even.⁠>

*crowd cheering*

Kinari

<⁠We dedicate this dusk to you.⁠>

Chihiro

<⁠Let’s have some fun tonight!⁠>

Tao

<⁠I hope you’ll remember this moment forever.⁠>

Kuguri

<⁠But only if you can keep up with us.⁠>

*crowd cheering*

Fan A

That was so good… It was so, so gooooood…

Tourist A

It was amazing… What’s their Spinet account?! Wait, aren’t they gonna do a handshake event after this?! I’m getting in line!!

Hater A

Man, goddammit. How can a bunch of criminals be so good… Making me cry and everything…

Kodama

(You’ve grown so much, Ev3ns… You are caged monkeys no longer…)

Hassaku

(So this is what an idol can do… W-When is their next performance…?!)

Timeskip
Nayuki

There are separate lines for each member for the handshake event. Please stand single-file.

Chihiro

(That was such a good show! Everyone was crazy in sync…!)

Fan A

Chihiro-kun… I was really, really moved by the show! I’ll definitely be there to see your next performance…!

Chihiro

Yep! We can all take a pic with Tao next time too!

……

Chihiro

Hi-hiii! Oh, I’ve never met you before!

???

Ah…! Y-Yes! This is my first time seeing you live.

Um… I’ve been a fan for so long…!

Ever since you were on 13Choose! I’ve…! Um, uh, I’ve always loved your dancing!

Chihiro

Wow, thanksies! ☆ Ehehe, that makes me really happy… You’ve always been with me.

???

I’ll always be your fan…!

Chihiro

(I didn’t expect to see old fans here…)

(Huh? I usually feel an ache in my heart when people mention 13Choose!, but…I’m actually doing okay.)

(I don’t feel upset about missing the final lineup anymore. I don’t feel sad about losing and not finding a place to belong…)

(Because I’m happy to be with Ev3ns.)

(Maybe the hole in my mug is starting to fix itself…)

Yeah. Somewhere along the way, Ev3ns gave me a place to belong…

Nayuki

This tour went extraordinarily well.

Kaede

Nayuki-kun. Yeah, it really did!

Nayuki

I feel like this unit has so much more room to grow.

Kaede

I agree.

Nayuki

Ahaha… I lost my bet to Kafka, I suppose.

Kaede

Haha… Yeah, I forgot you did that.

Ah, look! The evening star…

Kaede
