What trouble could there be... At first, Bronya had wanted to say that. But considering Verne's endless "surprises," emmm...
"All right, little Pardo, you head back first. Bronya needs to ask Verne a few things, so she might return late."
After saying goodbye, Bronya quickly got up and ran toward a corner of the venue...
Making sure no one was watching, Bronya phased into the Imaginary and vanished from real space.
Backstage
Having just finished a performance, Verne was still in high spirits as she leisurely packed away her props alone, completely unaware of Bronya.
After all, Imaginary phasing... at this point in time, it was just a little, ridiculously overpowered.
Emmm... How should she greet her? Bronya released her Imaginary form and appeared behind her. Most importantly, she had to leave a deep enough impression:
"Verne, I'm your fan!"
With a flying pounce that gave Verne no time to react, Bronya successfully caught her.

"Cute audience member, the show is already over, you know~ But since you're so enthusiastic..."

"Even Bronya didn't expect Verne to be able to break free."
"I'm surprised too~"
