Now, it's time for the second most popular rock song in Kanto.
Ethan knows it's lyrics without issue, yet he is fearful if the other's don't. A mess up he doesn't want at all. It would leave a lasting humiliating memory in his mind.
Yet, he can't help but wonder, why are there hilts on the edge of the scene? And why do they look like they're about to burst any moment?
He doesn't get to ponder on it however cause now, his song is to be performed.
Play the song on top
Ethan feels awkward as he hears the song he crafted out of his depression, without himself being in the playing position. The seconds he can hear it play, he feels his hands desperately want to play along. But he knows that despite how much he wants to play, he can't run backstage and make a change. Not now.
Nate: So clever, Whatever, I'm done with these endeavors, Alone, I walk the winding way. (Here I stay)
Ash(Hilbert): It's over, No longer, I feel it growing stronger, I'll live to die another day Until I fade away
E and R: Why give up, why give in? It's not enough; it never is So I will go on until the end
H and N: We've become desolate, It's not enough; it never is, But I will go on until the end!
The boys who are just on the edge of the scene make singing look easy as they all sound alike, yet Ethan can't shake off the awkwardness of not getting to sing it mostly on his own.
Ethan: Surround me, It's easy, To fall apart completely, I feel you creeping up again (In my head).
R and N: It's over, No longer, I feel it growing colder, I knew this day would come to end, So let this life begin
A and H: Why give up, why give in? It's not enough; it never is, So I will go on until the end
A and H: We've become desolate, It's not enough; it never is, But I will go on until the end
Ethan: I've lost my way, I've lost my way, but I will go on until the end. Living is hard enough Without you fucking up!
His scream makes the crowd crazy. He still knows that despite who sings that part, only he can do it precisely the way he wants it done. As he tries to rock with the song, he feels it increasingly difficult to enjoy it, as his hands aren't being dragged over strings that he is used to. Looking to his sides, Red is doing pretty much nothing, Hilbert has decided to move to the song. Ash does the same in a more energetic fashion than his brown haired counterpart, and lastly, Nate is making spins to the song. The whole ordeal makes Ethan chuckle before he let's out the other famous scream to finish the song
Ethan: Why give up, why give in? It's not enough; it never is, So I will go on until the end
A and R: We've become desolate, It's not enough; it never is, But I will go on until the end
H and N: I've lost my way, I've lost my way, but I will go on until the end
Ethan: U-uh, u-uh, The final fight I'll win, The final fight I'll win, The final fight I'll win, But I will go on until the end.
Another song finished perfectly. But then, Ash falls to his knees. The crowd begins panicking, what is happening to him.
Ash, now under increasing pressure, feels himself begin to dry up. He used far too much energy on the two songs. He gasps for cold breath as he clutches on his throat with his only available hand. Panick begins spreading to his bandmates, what do they do?!
Nate: s.security! We need a glass of water fast!
Hilbert and Nate rushes backstage to find water, Ethan and Red stay out with Ash who feels his head beginning to shake almost. His state is not good, and he begins feeling dizzy by the minute. Only one thing is on his mind. ''Water''.
