The curveballs Satoru throws her way are things Suguru expects. Had been expecting this entire time. Satoru is professional enough that she won't fuck everything up, Suguru knows, but she thrives on challenge. Suguru went into this knowing that, expecting that, and doing her best to rise to the challenge. No one's ever challenged her like Satoru, which is fine, and not something she needs, but it's a thrill to have that drive back. Suguru isn't as pointed about interruptions or stealing lines, and doesn't often push back when she has a line stolen; Suguru's never cared much about the spotlight and understands better than most people the performance aspect of shows. And she knows how Satoru thrives on the attention, the spotlight, the thrill of everything, and she's happy to let that happen. It makes some of the performance easier, in fact.

There's always an energy present in her shows, she'd never not deliver that, but sharing the stage with Satoru is vastly different, and she feeds off the energy the same way Satoru's fans do. Neither of them slow down.

The first performance of Contact is emotional. More emotional than Suguru expected, even after running through it with Satoru, and she feels strangely vulnerable on stage while singing it. They switched sides for it, Satoru in her all white against Suguru's black stage. Suguru sings her heart out, looking at Satoru, and it occurs to her that Satoru doesn't know the song is about her, and the melancholy she feels is evident in her voice.

The rest of the concert goes off smoothly, the two coming back out for encores, to the delight of their fans, a song each and a final duet, and to Suguru it feels like she's in a daze, the adrenaline still pumping through her veins after.
