As soon as Iris and the band members reached backstage, Blaze and Thunder started cheering in triumph. Even the usually silent and brooding Night had an uncharacteristic grin on his face.
"That was out of this world, Senior Iris!" Blaze exclaimed. "We had no idea that you can play the guitar like that! It's official. You're the coolest female I know in my entire life!"
"Yeah! I think that was the best performance we ever had as a band. Goddess, you're the best!" Thunder added.
Night nodded.
Iris tilted her head to the side. "You're incomplete as a band tonight, so it doesn't count."
At the reminder of their missing band mate, Eros, the three felt guilty. They were still happy about their performance but now they realized that the feeling was incomplete because they weren't sharing it with their brother.
