🎸🌑 Star Silence: Hitori Gotoh’s Social Panic Backstage! 🧊🎸 (Patreon)

Hello, Bocchi the Rock fans! 👋 We all know that for our Hitori Gotoh, a compliment can be just as terrifying as a horror movie villain. What should be every musician's dream became the ultimate nightmare for Shimokitazawa’s most anxious guitarist when an enthusiastic fan decided he wouldn't stop talking... ever.

The Scene: After the show, the fan went backstage, pouring out praise at a speed that Bocchi’s social processor couldn't keep up with. The volume, the energy, and the proximity made her reality melt. In a spasm of pure despair—a "fight or flight" instinctive reflex—Hitori ended up hitting the fan to stop that infinite flow of words.

Since he kept talking and complaining about the sudden attack, Bocchi's mind entered extreme survival mode. For her, the only way to avoid a total collapse was to nullify his social existence. She decided, out of pure self-preservation, to treat him as an inanimate object. If he’s not a person, she doesn’t have to feel ashamed; if he’s just a piece of furniture, she can finally relax.

Do you think the fan will feel honored to be Guitar Hero's temporary chair, or will he run away as soon as Bocchi allows him to be a human being again? Share your theories!

Thanks for the constant support! 🎸❤️
