After that song ended, they then ate and talked with each other while some were in their own world still.
By the time they noticed the time, it was already 4:00 in the afternoon and they decided to leave.
The group of friends bid each other goodbye.
"Hey? Is there anything I can do for you two lovely girls?" Wisteria warmly said while Reen who stood beside her looked inquiringly at the two.
They along with Hue and Mirly were having small talks with the leaving guests however Claire and Cookie were fidgeting at one side, noticing this Wisteria and Reen walked near the two.
"Uhm…" Cookie started saying as she held tightly a notebook and pen towards Wisteria.
"Can I please have your signature?" Startling her a bit, Wisteria looked at her then smiled warmly
"Of course you can dear." She took the notebook from the ecstatic Cookie and signed it.
Reen seeing that it had nothing to do with her started moving away from them to talk to the other group of people but was stopped by a feeble voice. She turned around and curiously looked at Claire.
Claire noticing her looking at her blushed as she handed her a notebook and a pen towards Reen as well.
"Can I p-please have your s-signature?" She said in a broken voice as she bowed her head in shyness and giddiness
This startled Reen quite a bit not even once expecting Claire to be her fan, she hadn't heard the others conversation when they were singing and playing the piano coupled with Claire's distant attitude towards her you couldn't really blame her ignorant reaction.
Hearing no reaction from Reen, Claire dejectedly looked up. She knew she was somewhat cold in treating Reen the first time and even their succeeding meet ups but as she could not help take this rare opportunity she could not help herself but still ask for her idol's signature.
Noticing her heartbroken demeanor, Reen snapped out her momentary daydream and smiled lovingly at her. Looking up she saw the ever famous smile of Crimson which made her blush harder.
"I'd love too." Reen at this point on realized that no matter what her relationship or feelings towards Uoron may be now or in the future, she could never hurt or be angry at this naïve and innocent girl despite how she portrayed herself to be an aloof and cold person just like Uoron.
After signing their respective notebooks and returning it to them, Wisteria then suggested.
"Why don't we take a group picture as an added bonus?"
The girls did not expect this at all, they were already extremely happy with their signatures and now a picture too boot was suggested, they screamed in delight as they stared at each other in happiness gaining the interest from the other people who were waiting for them to finish.
However, realizing that Reen was in her disguise and her earlier reminder of hiding her true identity, Claire could not help but feel her heart sink [1].
