Kyoko fumbled with her cellular phone as she reclined on the pink couch in the LoveMe office. The actress desperately wished to contact her senpai to share the news about her upcoming audition, but she fearfully worried that he wouldn't appreciate her bothering him with a rather mundane occurrence for a professional actress. Tsuruga-san had auditions and offers for magnificent parts all the time. She doubted he would want her to disturb his workday just to tell him about her new opportunity.

"I should not be a bother," she sharply reprimanded herself in an attempt to divest herself of the overwhelming desire.

Kyoko resolutely placed her phone back in her large purse. She glanced furtively around the room to confirm that she was still alone before digging to the bottom of her bag. Pulling a creepily realistic miniature of her respected acting senpai from the dark recesses, Kyoko whispered her good news to the handsome homemade doll instead.

"Good job," the figure clad in a replica designer suit replied in his imitation Ren voice.

Kyoko sighed dejectedly. For some unknown reason, the doll's responses just weren't as fulfilling any more.
