Dancesport is the name given to competitive ballroom dancing. “[The Last Waltz] is constructed out of bits and pieces that have come to me over a very long time of watching dance movies, participating in Dancesport myself, talking to dancers and whatnot. So it's a collection of [my] experiences.” The visual novel—a specific type of game blending text-based narrative with anime/manga style art—focuses on DDNet’s mascot, Danica and their partner Micah’s two decade career in dancesport. Sainsbury says he hopes to introduce Dancesport to a “wider audience”. “Hopefully, if even one person plays it and is converted into a fan of Dancesport, then I think I would have done something through this project.” “You wouldn't recognise these dances unless you were a dancer.

In Haryana, the BJP achieved a historic hat-trick, securing a third consecutive win, as reported by Ariba, Aradhana Kalia and Vikas Pathak from The Indian Express. Meanwhile, in J&K, the Jammu and Kashmir National Conference (JKNC) led the charge, yet the BJP emerged as a formidable player, bagging 29 seats in Jammu, according to Peerzada Ashiq of The Hindu. Before the results, exit polls had widely suggested a much weaker performance for the BJP. This led to a frenzy of speculation around potential losses, especially in Haryana. The Times of India, in a piece by Ajay Surya, Akhilesh Singh and Saleem Pandit, even highlighted how Congress strategists were already gearing up to analyse a possible BJP defeat.
