Hiro stood, stunned at the beauty of Kassandra's voice and dance. He also felt a little guilty that he felt so happy that he was the only one there to watch it. It was like his heart was swelling in size yet also racing faster? He couldn't recall another time he felt like this. But he has never seen or heard anything as beautiful as this either. 

Sometime in the middle of her performance, he found himself reaching for his camera in his backpack and taking a few shots. He had turned off the flash so the sound and light wouldn't interrupt the song. There was enough light in the room anyway. 

After her performance and after a moment to process exactly what had happened, Hiro clapped. He didn't realize there were tears streaming down his cheeks until now so he took of his glasses to wipe his face. 

Of course, this was the time when Kathy came running back into the room. "I got... woah. What happened, Hiro? Are you okay?" she asked with a concerned look on her face. 

"Oh.. yeah.. I'm fine.. haha.." he stammered awkwardly. He had forgotten about Kathy a while ago. 

Kathy looked at Hiro then at Kassandra and then back at Hiro. "Okay.... Anyway," she said, changing the subject. "Here are some books! Sorry it took a while, there were a lot of pages to print and laminate." She dropped in a laminated, Latin copy of the first book of the Harry Potter series. "Good thing there are a lot of Latin-knowing Harry Potter nerds," she whispered to Hiro.

"Aren't you one of them?" Hiro teased.

"...Shut up."
