The director's office is needlessly large, as always. As the golden-eyed woman behind the desk looks at this year's Pretty Cures, she smiles warmly.
"I see that two of you are doing it this year. Could this be a trend, I wonder?"
The director nods at Cure Muse and Cure Beat, making it clear to all that their dark-themed outfits are what she means. Cure Muse is wearing a hooded cowl, mantle, and platform boots as parts of her all-black outfit. Cure Beat is wearing a black cloak with a white fur collar, but she pulls it off before she sits down, revealing a skin-tight black catsuit. A fluffy white cat leaps into her lap. As if to emphasize that they really didn't coordinate at all, the two girls have taken seats at either end of the large sofa that has been provided for all four girls to sit on. Wearing ordinary clothes and stuck sitting uncomfortably close together, Cure Melody and Cure Rhythm also are making a point of trying not to acknowledge each other.
"Don't think that I'm the same as those delusional girls who have come before," Ellen says. "I intend to be a famous musician, but even if I don't make it big, Siren is my professional name. Don't think that I'll give you any press by performing as Cure Beat."
"And the cat, is it part of your act?" The director seems to be genuinely curious.
"She has a name, I'll have you know. Hummy is here for moral support. She sings only for other cats."
The director chuckles, then turns her gaze on the girl at the other end of the couch.
"Are you a performer, too?"
"Don't get any strange ideas," the girl does not speak, but instead holds up her smartphone. The voice is that of a text-to-speech app, represented on screen by an animated gemstone-like fairy character. "I am neither a deviant nor part of a freak show. I simply do not intend on becoming chummy with this lot, or with you."
"That's adorable," she looks at the two girls in the center. "Anything you two would like to say?"
"No!" The pair answer as one, then remember that they are fighting and turn away from each other.
The director smiles again. "I think we can expect great things from you girls."
