He wanted to move past the last few steps, watching from a distance of the gathering that went on.

He wanted to join in on the fun. Listen to the music that blared so loud and play games with the fellow idol members he didn't interact with as much as the rest.

He wanted to sit with the rest of Trickstar and laugh together with them. Or even banter with Tori on any subject of the moment given in that span of time.

But... looking at them all. They were all cheerful. Laughing, singing, sitting around like the biggest family there was.

They all shined so brightly that even the sun looked dim in comparison if Mao had to point it out to someone.

He felt as though if he did join in on the fun, he'd ruin the sparkling atmosphere. His dull light that was barely even the size of a cookie crumb wouldn't slide onto the baking tray so nicely. He would bend and fall to the floor and eventually chucked away into the bin for the next week to come.

So, instead, he sat himself on the stairs, making sure he was hidden from everyone around the living space and just watched from afar, even if it hurt his heart to do so.
