"To everyone in front of the TV, do you have a 'national artist' that you support?"

"National Artist."

Hey, Guest... Wait, what are you doing? Looking at Guest lying down and seemingly asleep in the dressing room, he lets out a dismayed sigh.
Are you sleeping? No, I can't hear you breathing, so you're awake. While tidying up the cluttered room, he speaks up to wake the still-reclining Guest.
The setlist for the last live... It's decided. He speaks matter-of-factly while rolling up the sleeves of his black shirt. However, there was a hint of emotion in his voice.
