[Fang is barely even able to finish the question before Akko leans in closer, slapping her hands down on the rock between them, and very excitedly declares,]
It was the most amazing thing ever! I don't think I can ever really describe it well enough to do it justice, but above the audience, the Big Dipper lit up brighter than all the other stars before falling, [Akko points above them to the sky and draws a line down to an imaginary stage in front of them,] and there was the Shiny Rod and suddenly Shiny Chariot!
[Akko bounces a little in her seat as she sits forward again like she's watching everything unfold right in front of them.]
She whisked the audience away into a world of magic with spell after spell. It seemed like anything was possible. [Atsuko places a fist over her heart.] That each of us had that kind of magic inside of us, too, no matter who we were...!
[Her fist tightens a little as she looks up at the night sky, the constellations looking completely unrecognizable even to someone like Akko except for one bright northern star. Even knowing the truth of that show, knowing that Chariot stole something from Akko and everyone else at the show that night... It doesn't sully the memory. It will always be something that she cherishes even if she thinks a little differently about it now.]
[She smiles at Fang, hand lowering back to her lap with a small sigh.]
It really changed my life.
[And for better or for worse, Atsuko wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.]
