I never would’ve thought that a spur-of-the-moment edit to a score would end up causing Alan this much trouble.
If we wanted to calm this storm down, there was only one way-come forward and clarify as Avi. But that identity had been sealed away for three whole years.
My fingertip slid across the phone screen. Avi’s Instagram login and password surfaced in my mind with crystal clarity, yet I still couldn’t bring myself to tap “Log in.”
For the past three years, I’d deliberately avoided anything connected to Avi-afraid of seeing the fans’ messages waiting with bated breath, and even more afraid of touching the past hidden behind those melodies.
The memories I couldn’t bear to look back on were like a bed of needles-one light brush and my nerves would sting.
“Amanda, school’s out. Why are you still not leaving?” Emily’s voice came from behind me, bright with an easy laugh.
I snapped back to myself, shoved my phone into my backpack, and stood with a smile. “I’m coming. We’re heading the same way anyway.”
Emily nodded obediently. Once I’d packed up, she looped her arm through mine, and we walked out together.
We stayed quiet most of the way, but in the end, I couldn’t hold it in. “Emily, do you know about what happened with Alan-him being exposed for ‘plagiarism”?”
“Yeah. Instagram’s been flooded with it.” Emily’s one was matter-of-fact, not excited in the slightest. Instead, she looked at me curiously. “You hardly ever pay attention to pack public figures. Why are you suddenly asking about him”
“I just happened to see it while scrolling the trending topics.” I brushed it off vaguely, my gaze settling on her face-I’d expected her to be anxious like other fans, but she looked unusually calm.
“I believe he didn’t plagiarize.” Emily spoke up all of a sudden, her voice unwaveringly firm.
“Mr. Alan is my role model. I’ve always wanted to become someone like him-someone who carries the responsibility of promoting our culture, and who’s steady and reliable in everything he does. Ever since I decided to set him as my goal, I’ve believed in his character.”

“You trust him that unconditionally?” I turned my head to look at her. Under the sunset, the girl’s eyes shone like stars.
“It’s not unconditional. His actions gave me the confidence.” Emily counted on her fingers as she spoke.
“He’s been a peace ambassador for two years. He’s traveled to over a dozen border tribes, taking ancient werewolf melodies that were on the verge of disappearing and arranging them into modern tracks to promote them. During the last snow disaster, he quietly donated half a year’s income to build shelters. Those aren’t things you can fake. How could someone like that do something as low as plagiarism?”
Her words were like a pebble dropped into my heart, sending ripples through everything.
All at once, I felt a strange envy for Alan-being someone else’s light, and being trusted so purely. “You’re right. He’s not that kind of person.”
I said it softly, and the hesitation in my chest began to fade.
