“This is Channel 5 news, and I’m Kiara Walkins,” the news anchor announced. “We have breaking news tonight as reports are coming in from all over Seattle that Aria is singing live at the Karaoke Queen. Her mother, Harmony Kageki owns a chain of karaoke bars between San Francisco and Seattle, but she hasn’t been seen in any of them since her daughter was left in a coma over three years ago. Initial reports claimed that the manager of the Karaoke Queen announced the performance of a single band for the entire evening. Most of the patrons began leaving the establishment until they heard Aria begin singing. The most riveting part of the event? Aria is singing the same melodies from her coma, but in English. It would seem that the answer of whether Aria would have any sort of recall after awakening has been answered. Aria and the four women accompanying her are all wearing masks to hide their identities, but most people are assuming that her sister, Melody, and her mother, Harmony, are behind two of the masks. Whether she is wearing a mask as a result of burn scars, or to hide a new face is unclear. What we do know for sure, is that it is most definitely Aria who is singing, as that is one voice that cannot be imitated.”
“Get the keys!” Dianna shouted as she jumped out of her chair and ran for the door.
“Already ahead of you,” Jeanette replied with a grin as she followed Dianna out the door at a dead run with the keys in her hand.
