6:00 pm [Made it back home safely. Please thank Saitou again for giving Yui-san this opportunity.]

6:00 pm [sure]

6:01 pm [u wont regret this decision. promise]

6:23 pm [I sure hope I don't, especially because I didn't want to get Komachi too involved with any of this. But, well, I guess you've managed to get this far for a reason. So please lend me your strength for this.]

6:24 pm [im good at what I do dw]

6:25 pm [I'm told you're the best at what you do.]

6:29 pm [facts!]

6:30 pm [im always doin my best after all. On the stage, at home, and every other job!]

6:30 pm [I can see that, yes. You're well-liked, they care about you a lot.]

6:40 pm [surprised?]

6:52 pm [It's all too new to me. I still don't know what to think. But I'd say yes. It was a pleasant surprise, all things considered.]

6:53 pm [im just that powerful]

6:53 pm [also spend as much time as I can with them. Never know when things wont go as planned]

6:54 pm [just today we bought some take out for everyone. It was kind of hard getting them out of the office, but I managed]

6:55 pm [Even with the other idols around? I can't imagine how that worked out.]

7:28 pm [nah wtnb and ari left early]

7:28 pm [bet theyl report what happened today]

7:29 pm [whos miura btw]

7:54 pm [Blonde with drills, mean girl kind of vibes.]

7: 59 pm [no idea]

8:03 pm [It's okay. You didn't interact much. What do you mean report, though? Were they randomly selected to participate without being told what they were getting themselves into?]

9:01 pm [nah they prolly just dunno whats up with u nd they want to know]

9:12 pm [Right. Communication is still lacking in that company.]

9:13 pm [everyones stressed out]

9:13 pm [Can't blame them. Even I feel like there's too much on my plate, so I can't imagine how you three have fared thus far. Because it looked to me like your boss is kind of a pushover.]

9:14 pm [Ichigo-san is very good at what he does but little else yknow]

9:14 pm [like, that's why Miyako-san does everything else lol]

9:14 pm [don't tell him I said that tho]

9:15 pm [Your secret is safe with me, of course.]

9:15 pm [im counting on u~]

9:16 pm [I'll do my best. Also, sorry about Komachi's mood. She's great, the best even. It's just that, just like Saitou, I'm no good in a lot of ways and she feels the need to protect me.]

9:20 pm [whats with that?]

9:21 pm [It's just how it is.]

9:29 pm [I don't get it]

9:29 pm [It's fine if you don't, that's just how siblings are sometimes.]

9:30 pm [wouldn't be the first time a girl has talked down on me for reasons I don't understand]

9:33 pm [Again, really sorry. This was all too soon and too much for us.]

9:35 pm [ic]

9:35 pm [maybe I should've thought bout it a bit more or smth]

9:36 pm [Maybe.]

9:36 pm [gee thnx for the moral support]

9:37 pm [Sorry, I'm reviewing what I'm going to tell mom about Ichigo-san's offer. I'm pretty sure she won't be thrilled, and I don't exactly want to reveal everything that happened.]

9:37 pm [ah! Do u wanna talk about it? Im free rn]

9:40 pm [Don't worry about it, I texted Miyako-san before. I know what is "recommended" to omit. I'm just thinking about how to word it so it doesn't sound like we went ahead and poked the wasp nest we were supposed to leave alone.]

9:43 pm [oh]

9:43 pm [well then that's fine I guess]

9:44 pm [good luck tho]

9:45 pm [I'll need all my eloquence for this one. This woman knows me way too well, and I'm afraid even Komachi's cuteness won't deter her this time.]

9:50 pm [SUPER GOOD LUCK]

9:50 pm [tell me how it goes?]

9:51 pm [Will do. I'll cook something good to lighten the mood now. Stay safe.]

9:59 pm [thnx u 2]

11:41 pm [I got disinherited about 3 times. I've also never seen dad this livid before. I don't wanna talk about it.]

9:30 am [rip]


12:02 pm [was it that bad actually]

3:11 pm [It was awkward, difficult, and long-winded. Like all things with parents. Not their fault, really. But still something I'd rather not go through again.]

4:22 pm [guess that's what parents do, alright]

4:30 pm [They know better, have been working for a lot longer. And I think the old man has a bit of a backwards idea of what modeling is.]

4:49 pm [well ive worked with Ichigo-san for a while so I also know a thing or 2 about it]

4:50 pm [u guys don't need permission rite?]

4:50 pm [ur both adults already]

5:02 pm [We still live under their roof. It's not like we can really fight them or we can get kicked out. Well, I can get kicked out. I don't think they'd actually do that to Komachi.]

5:02 pm [eeeehhhh sounds tough]

5:03 pm [if it comes down to it tell me]

5:03 pm [we can figure smth out]

5:10 pm [Thanks, but I don't think it'll be necessary. We can come to an agreement here.]

5:44 pm [is this a normal thing? Like arguing over these things with ur parents?]

5:45 pm [I guess it is. They have an idea of how the world works, and we're just figuring out how we want things to work. Arguments with them, at least with my parents, aren't usually on equal terms.]

6:21 pm [sounds like ur used to it]

6:21 pm [I understand better now, that's all. Comes with the experience of having lived with them. It simply keeps happening, so it's more experience.]

7:36 pm [fighting?]

8:04 pm [Living with them.]


10:00 am [kyun asked bout u guys]

10:00 am [yall not coming back anytime soon rite?]

1:11 pm [I don't think you'll be seeing the others that much, no. No one is doing idol work, after all.]

2:11 pm [Unless your team goes to the director. The guy with long hair. I'll try to go with Saika though.]

4:11 pm [oh cool]

4:12 pm [i took acting classes at some point]

4:13 pm [and it's Gotanda-san]

4:13 pm [the guy talking to ur sensei]

4:14 pm [Was he? I don't remember that.]

4:21 pm [dw hes bad with women]

4:21 pm [I don't see how that'd be a concern of mine. If nothing else, I'd be worried that Hiratsuka-san scares the poor man away.]

4:32 pm [u wud know?]

4:33 pm [You can ask any of the group how often she complains about her love life, it's not just me. If that's what you're implying.]

4:34 pm [idk what ur talkin bout tbh]

4:36 pm [oh rite ill tell kyun u guys aint coming back soon then]

4:44 pm [Kyun is the one that likes the super sweet pastries, right?]

5:18 pm [maybe?]

5:34 pm [What do you mean "maybe"? Don't you spend a lot of time with all of them?]

5:40 pm [whenever possible I go meet other people]

5:41 pm [Oh, of course. I still don't know how that works, but I guess you'd rather spend time elsewhere.]

7:08 pm [still thinking bout it?]

7:09 pm [Indeed. I don't even know where to begin, so my mind is kind of a mess.]

7:10 pm [as long as ur thinking bout me]

9:54 pm [I am. I think about you first and foremost, as you're the one I know the most.]

10:01 am [haha whats with that]

10:02 am [I'm saying you are weird, even for me.]

10:03 am [that I am]

10:03 am [do u hate it?]

10:03 am [No. And even if I did, that'd be wholly on me. Your circumstances are not for me to judge.]

10:10 am [but u do find it annoyin]

10:11 am [Very.]


5:23 pm [I was watching one of your interviews, and something curious happened. You mentioned a kid actor? And it strikes me as funny, because seems like Saitou has a tendency to recruit young, innocent people now.]

5:23 pm [did I? when?]

5:24 pm [Not too long ago, it was about a horror movie I think.]

5:24 pm [rite ye]

5:25 pm [Ichigo-san can see people potential I think]

5:25 pm [so the younger he meets them the better]

5:26 pm [gotta build that career]

5:26 pm [were you watching stuff about me]

5:27 pm [Yes. I remembered a couple of things, and I wanted to see if you left crumbs and details behind. You're very good at keeping your secrets. But it's funny because that happened to you too, right?]

5:28 pm [thnx]

5:28 pm [wanst that young tho]

5:30 pm [woulda saved me some trouble tbh]

5:30 pm [More problems?]

5:40 pm [more]

5:41 pm [I see. No wonder you defend him so much.]

5:42 pm [gotta build that raport yaknow]

5:43 pm [Do you even know what "rapport" means?]

5:43 pm [i can look it up]

5:45 pm [i looked it up]

5:45 pm [i used it right]

5:45 pm [Congratulations.]


8:08 am [Did you see Yui-san? She mentioned she'd be working as staff, but didn't tell me which talents she'd be around.]

9:10 pm [who?]


4:33 pm […which brings up back the main point: I still don't know what this will be all about.]

4:44 pm [its nothin like that]

4:45 pm [to begin with Miyako-san will prolly do most of the actual work]

4:45 pm [u just gotta pay attention to what she does and learn]

4:46 pm [A-chan will prolly have to take some coaching. Modelin aint just striking poses and lookin pretty]

4:46 pm [So… Just babysitting? I'd have to do babysitting and taking notes?]

4:47 pm [ye]

4:47 pm [u should prolly ask Miyako-san bout it in detail tho]

4:48 pm [I thought you'd know, as you've done modeling as well.]

4:49 pm [idk I just strike a pose and look pretty]

4:49 pm [diet exercise and the other stuff I have to do them for idol stuff already]

4:50 pm [Right. My bad.]

4:51 pm [itll be the same whatever route u take btw]

4:51 pm [showbiz already has tested and true models]

4:52 pm [people know what works and how already]

4:52 pm [So… Originality is dead, and you just have to fit the mold or get out?]

4:53 pm [sometimes there are geniuses but ye most of the time its like that]

4:53 pm [dont even mean like me I mean the people that work behind the scenes]

4:54 pm [sometimes someone takes a look at the state of the game and thinks]

4:54 pm [holup]

4:55 pm [sometimes stuff we really put our soul into would get sidelined by someone with a good idea or better timing]

4:55 pm [its annoying but what can u do]

4:56 pm [I see. I can't help notice that you'd still call yourself a genius, however.]

4:57 pm [duh]


11:48 am [sea sand is fish poo?]

11:50 am […Elaborate?]

11:55 am [so theres this documentary about the sea right and it says that theres a kind of fish called a parrotfish which shits out the sand that is on beaches and stuff]

11:56 am [and I mean]

11:56 am [its a documentary its not lying to me is it]

11:57 am [Why are you watching a documentary on… Parrotfish?]

11:58 am [its about the sea]

12:00 pm [Right. So, sand is mineral powder basically. It's rock, I don't think a fish can produce rocks.]

12:01 pm [has to do with its diet]

12:02 pm [Right.]

12:03 pm [swear im not making this up]

12:21 pm [hello?]

1:02 pm [So I looked it up and yes, part of white sand beaches are the droppings of parrotfish. But it's not like ALL sand is parrotfish droppings. It is made out of minerals, after all. Even with the insane amounts a single fish can produce. And it does so because of the stuff it ingests while scrapping for its food.]

1:03 pm [eeewwwww]

1:07 pm [The sea floor isn't the same as what we have on land. The ecosystem works different, so even the droppings of the creatures living there are different. Like in an aquarium, that's why some tanks have snails or these cleaner fish around. They keep the rocks and sand from getting contaminated and disabling the creatures from reefs and stuff from getting nutrients and/or being literally poisoned.]

1:08 pm [like the sea cucumber]

1:09 pm [a wiggly fellow]

1:10 pm [I guess? It's definitely more complicated and weirder, but that's that. In the case of the sea cucumber, it just cleans everything that goes into its body and expels it as-is as far as I know.]

1:11 pm [oooohhh]

1:12 pm [cool and cute huh]

1:12 pm [I wouldn't call sea cucumbers either "cool" or "cute" myself.]

1:13 pm [idk it has a weird appeal]

1:13 pm [It's literally a tube, a living esophagus.]

1:14 pm [cant help it when it was born looking like that]

1:14 pm [still strangely endearing]

1:20 pm [It's a mouth and an anus. Just that.]

1:21 pm [it wiggles so funny tho!]

1:30 pm [It's literally a living pipe. A fleshy living pipe, yes, but just that.]

1:31 pm [wonder if i can get one]

2:00 pm [They live in the bottom of the ocean.]

2:01 pm [so they cant be pets]

2:02 pm [I don't know. Why don't you get in there and try to catch one?]

2:21 pm [never been to the ocean]

2:22 pm [sounds fun tho]

2:22 pm [isnt it all dark and stuff?]

2:30 pm [You're thinking about the abyssal zone. Humans can't go there or they'd be crushed by the pressure.]

2:31 pm [eeeehhhh]

2:31 pm [but what if I get like an astronaut suit]

2:32 pm [It's completely different. Imagine you lift up all the water in the ocean and put it under you. That's basically what happens but in all direction. Space has no "weight" because it's empty.]

2:33 pm [right right]

2:33 pm [so no sea cucumbers]

2:34 pm [I don't think there are sea cucumbers in the abyssal zone. There ARE a lot of bottom feeders, however. The landscape is completely different, even from the rest of the oceans. Literally having organic matter snowing down, getting carcasses of whales and stuff.]

2:35 pm [sounds scary]

2:35 pm [theres no light there right]

2:36 pm [Just like in real life.]

2:37 pm [what]


9:30 am [ur friend is actually showing up]

9:50 am [No way. Damn it, and here I thought Saitou wouldn't pull these sorts of things.]

10:06 am [who is she anyway]

10:06 am [A friend from high school. Some stuff happened and we lost contact, but she really needed a better job.]

10:07 am [Please, tell me she's not going to get bullied or anything. I'd lose my mind.]

10:28 am [dw ill check on her]

10:29 am [Doesn't fill me with comfort, no offense.]

10:46 am [rude]

10:47 am [ill have you know my presence alone can change the mood of a whole room]

10:51 am [I can believe it.]

10:52 am [have some faith in us]

10:53 am [I have none left.]

11:00 am [rude]

11:01 am [trust the small part of my heart i can give okay]

11:01 am [What is that supposed to mean?]

3:01 pm [Fine, be that way. I hope you know what you're doing.]

3:01 pm [im the best at what I do]

3:01 pm [So I've heard.]

3:02 pm [hehehehehehe]
