The Midnight Oil
Cast:
Cure Moonlight, Tsukikage Yuri - age 20
Kurumi Momoka - Cure Marine's sister - age 20
July, 2012
Tsukikage Yuri has left home for college, but is not in campus housing. It is close. Kurumi Momoka has left home to be close to work, but is living farther from the modeling agency that employs her than from Yuri's school. It is not that much farther. They are roommates.
Outsiders think that they are an odd couple. Yuri is a serious girl and academically gifted. Momoka, while she was actually no slouch in school, is living her best life without continuing her education. They have been best friends for years now, and Yuri in particular gets along better with Momoka than with her own sister.
"Isn't that a bit much?"
'That' is studying. Momoka has got up in the middle of the night to see Yuri still hitting the books.
"I miscalculated," Yuri explains. "I expected that the introductory course on economics would not be so difficult. I have learned since that the undergraduate courses at my school, in this one field only, are notoriously as harsh as graduate work at universities."
"Couldn't you just drop the class?"
Light glints dangerously off Yuri's glasses. "We are friends, so I will pretend you didn't say that."
