"Miss Maki! Please come down for dinner!"
"Okay!"
Maki closed her laptop and stood up. What am I doing with my life...
As Maki walked down the marble stairs of her mansion, she thought about her last conversation with the members of μ's 5 years ago.
"Maki? W-why?" Nico stared at Maki with wide eyes.
"I'm sorry you guys..."
"Maki! Please don't leave...You're really important to us..."Umi begged.
"It's over now, Umi. Everyone is in different colleges, and we have already decided to disband three years ago. We're not A-RISE, we're not going to become an actual idol group. I'm going to college in America, and there's nothing you can do about it. Besides, we hardly get to see each other anyway."
Maki turned to leave, but Eli grabbed her shoulder.
"Maki! Promise us that you will come back and-"
"-have a coffee with us." Honoka finished. She looked at Maki with a pleading expression. "One day.."
Maki walked away without looking back.
Maki, now a 25-year-old adult with a stoic expression, has changed in more ways than one. For one, she is not a tsundere. Tsundere doesn't work in college. Secondly, she has longer hair now. Because, you know. Hair grows. Also, she just graduated college. And she's back in Japan...
"Maki! There you are! We have baked tomatoes today. Your favorite!"
Maki smiled thinly. "Thanks, Mom."
"I have made arrangements for you to begin working at our hospital. You have already decided on being a surgeon, right?"
Maki nodded.
"Perfect, because we are short of one surgeon, you know after Anesse retired. I don't want you starting with the difficult operations, so I'm appointing you under Miss Marsida."
Maki's lip curled. Marsida was an unreasonably superstitious woman. "Yes."
"Alright, just start showing up to work next week. I don't believe you have explored Akihabara yet? It has changed a lot."
"That would not be necessar-"
"You need clothes."
Maki lowered her head. She has lost. "Yes, mother."
Maki walked into a shop along the busy streets of Akihabara. If I see one of them...
She had an errand to run, and Tokyo was the second biggest city in the world. There's virtually no way that she would run into the members of μ's.
...Right?
Maki swore she saw long purple hair and stopped dead in her tracks. The woman had her back to Maki and was browsing through some jeans. Maki watched in horror as the woman took a pair of jeans off the rack and slowly turned to go the fitting room.
"Maki!?"
Maki took off running.
My spellcheck doesn't recognize Maki as a word, and now there are red underlines all over my story.
Edit: I just fixed a typo
