[ Hello, Idols! Are you ready for a game?

Some of you may have played this before! The area is familiar for sure: today's playing field is an expansive balcony with several mini-tables paired with two patio chairs each, garden umbrellas planted to keep the heat away. You can see the rest of the city from up here, too - it turns out you're pretty high up as you can even see the start of the Rainbow Bridge from here, though the railings are high so there's not a high likelihood of accidentally falling down.

There are a few pink lemonade pitchers scattered around with paper cups if you're thirsty, and some bite-sized chocolates if you're hungry. Cute snack food!

The instructions look familiar, too: it's a light game, with no enforced truth-telling even. No status effects! Just dates!

There are cards on the table, too! ]

That is not at all what this is about.
[ she has dropped the soft thoughtfulness; now, the words are clipped ]

Is it so impossible for you to consider that a person might genuinely care for them—so instead I have to be the kind of cowardly person who would use them, and avante along with them?

[keeps her gaze steady, unconsciously squaring her stance]

I dunno what you have to be. I know they like believing in people more than they deserve...most the time, anyways.

[ still firm, carefully articulated, though without quite as much of that clipped-sounding irritation- ]

Then I will try my very hardest not to let them down.

[Stares back for a long moment, as if examining her for something. Then, abruptly, she pushes to her feet, expression no softer]

...Lets hope that's hard enough.
