The party continues.
Cake is served. Music plays.
Members change into more comfortable party clothes.
At some point, Doyun puts on their debut song and they all dance.
Pulling staff members into the chaos.
Even Manager Park participates, looking more relaxed than anyone's ever seen him.
During one song, Haejin ends up near Soorin.
The camera's not directly on them.
He leans close and whispers: "Thank you. For everything. Best birthday I've had in years."
Before she can respond, Jisoo grabs Haejin's hand and drags him back to the center of the room for more dancing.
But the moment lingers.
Warm and private in the middle of very public celebration.

As the party winds down and the energy shifts from chaotic celebration to comfortable contentment, Voice calls for one-on-one interviews.
The confessional room has been decorated subtly for the occasion.
A few balloons in the corner. Fairy lights providing warm illumination.
