Meanwhile, Val was out practicing her guitar solos when she saw her Holly solemnly trotting by with tears in her eyes. Surprised by the usually upbeat Country Troll's expression, the Hard Rock ambassador ceased her guitar-playing and walked up to her big-haired BFF.

  Val: Holly? What's wrong?

  Holly: (sobbing with a breaking voice) I just heard the most moving song Synth wrote, and... I just gotta console him with a gift basket!

  As the Country ambassador galloped off, Val was left completely confused.

  Val's Mind: An emotional song? From Synth?!

  The rocker girl curiously started looking for Synth.

  Later, as Branch, Cooper, Synth and Laguna were all heading towards Branch's bunker, Val rushed up in front of them. 

  Val: Guys, what's all this I've heard about Synth writing a touchy-feely song?

  Upon hearing this sudden question, Synth promptly burst into tears, much to Val's confusion and slight guilt.

  Branch: He doesn't like talking about it.

  Synth: I've straight-up ruined the Techno-Rock harmony!

  Val: What? How?

  Laguna: The song pretty much describes... the Techno side of the World Tour.

  Val: Oh.

  This reply augmented the Hard Rock ambassador's guilt. Was the attack on Techno Reef that bad?
