Yes, she's Risette. Yes, Kana is only a year or two older than her. But she's Kana Arima, she's an actress who Rise had grown up watching, she's the senpai who had done more than anyone other than Rise's direct manager to acclimate her how all of this works.
And okay, maybe Rise has kind of been starry-eyed whenever she'd looked at her for like a whole year now, but she's good at hiding that sort of thing!
She thinks she's good at hiding that sort of thing, at least.
But then, to celebrate the end of her first solo live, Kana had offered to treat her to a stay at an onsen hotel. And it turns out that the big fancy suites have wholly private springs, so it'll just be the two of them.
...Kana doesn't know that Rise is crushing on her, right?
Well, if she does, it's too late to do anything about it. Rise wraps the towel around her middle tightly and steps out into the cool night air. It's mid-autumn, and the air is cool and crisp, the water in the spring rising in wisps of steam. Rise smiles.] Hope I didn't keep you too long getting ready, Kana-senpai.
idols!!
