Satoru comes over and leans her arm on Suguru's shoulder as she looks over the set list with her, playfully using her as furniture. It's the sort of easy contact she would have initiated all the time back when they were teenagers. Right now, with both of them genuinely working on preparing the song and the show, Satoru's forgotten her spite, forgotten that she'd started this all to find ways to make Suguru miserable. This just feels natural and right, the two of them working as seamlessly as ever.
When they've done their best on the song for now (and no doubt they'll polish it for the album version, whenever that happens), they break to do their final prep backstage, getting into hair and makeup and putting on costumes. Satoru's got a couple of costume changes throughout the show, and it's nice to have the buffer of Suguru's songs in order to do that, instead of having the much faster fifteen-second quick changes she's used to doing between songs.
The stage is split visually, all black on Suguru's side and bright white on Satoru's side. Yin and yang. One of the visual effects artists has put together a theme of two betta fish, black and white, swirling past each other on the screens at different points of the show.
Satoru's costumes are all white as well, the first one basically just a rhinestone bra along with low-slung pants, and high-heeled boots to accentuate her height, making her statuesque. The intro starts for her first song as the trap door lifts her up from beneath the stage, power stance ready and mic in her hand, challenging smirk on her lips as she launches into the song. Suguru comes in partway through, like she's 'crashing' the song, set up as a song duel that they'd only lightly rehearsed so it would have the best improv energy, which works when Satoru starts laughing at one point and Suguru has to finish the verse.
"Geto Suguru, everyone," Satoru says, as the song finishes, with a wave of her hand that manages to both display and dismiss Suguru. There's an immediate roar of approval from Suguru's fans, and mixed boos and cheers from Satoru's. "I was charitable enough to let her come on tour with me, so don't be too mean to her, okay? That's my job."
