AN: (Cross-posted on AO3) Wanted to write RinYuki due to the current JPdori event, but this turned out to be platonic. Oh well, I love their relationship nonetheless. (This drabble refers to the story of the Neo Aspect event)

Beyond Idolization
The first time Rinko met Yukina, she was awed by the latter's conviction. Since then, Rinko had seen Yukina's darker side - her willingness to sacrifice anything and anyone for her goals. Rinko did not hate her for it, nor did she indulge her. Rinko stood up to her - timid as she might be - for Yukina was now a friend and deserved a chance to change.
Yukina was not a perfect idol, but that was not a sad thing at all. Rinko cherished how much their relationship had grown, and the growth in their own persons as a result of it.
