Who: Naughty little fishes
Where: Game Tower
When: Day 527

[So there you are, minding your own business on a completely normal day.]

[Then you blink —

[— and find yourself, and many other idols, in an unfamiliar room.]

[The room is large and round and made of glass, like a globe. ...No, like a fish bowl.]

[On the other side of the glass walls, you can see indistinct shapes moving around, but the glass distorts the light so much that anything farther than arm’s length is just vague smears of colors and shadow blending with your own reflection. But something is there. Possibly a lot of somethings. ]

[Two formless shapes approach the glass, and as they do, their images resolve into the shapes of a pair of twins, one grinning while the other pointedly looks away from his brother. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the one who actually looks cheerful about being here is the first to speak up:]

Guess what~? You’ve been chosen to play in our very first game. Isn’t that exciting?

[He throws his arms out theatrically.]

Especially after soooo many boring games. The audience is looking for excitement and thrills here! Why not take the chance to really cement yourself as the fan favorite while you have the chance? Heck, it might even fix your little... “problem.”

[There’s a beat of silence, and he moves to elbow his brother who shoots him a “hey what the hell?” look before reluctantly facing the gathered idols.]

...Make sure you protect yourselves. Otherwise...

[He just lets the thought trail off before looking away again. His brother leans on him, resting an elbow on his shoulder as though waiting for him to continue before finally giving up and shaking his head with a sigh.]

You heard him! Give this game all you’ve got - got it?

[Emu promised to find him first and she rushes to do so. Even burnt and charred as he is, she's not stopping until she finds him.]

Tsukasa-kun!! I'm here now-- it's going to be okay.

[Her hands are shaking but she has sIV's powers of healing. So at the very least she can fix him up. It's horrible but she's absolutely dead focused on taking care of him before worrying about anything else.]

[ The open, gaping, and charred wounds miraculously stitch and sew back together, leaving his entire body covered in massive scars. He's healed, but... he certainly doesn't look like he'd be in any fine state to move around. Fire, unfortunately, likes to leave its mark in the most visible of ways. ]

[She wants to let him rest anyway. There's still time-- until then, she can focus on his scars. While he's out, she's going to go out of her way to pay to have the scars removed for him from her own account... he doesn't need to know.]

[ She truly is a girlfriend among girlfriends. His clothes might... be in poor shape, now. But truly, no one is worrying about that sort of thing at the moment. It is only once she has finished doing what she can for her own part, that Honey revives him.

And, with his cousin having arrived too, almost as soon as he he shoots up, clawing at the air-- cousin seems to wipe his memory.

For a short moment, he's confused and baffled. He was in a game, but... what was he just doing?]

[Her own clothes aren't in much better shape, frankly-- but she doesn't care. The moment he's healed up and revived she's throwing her arms around him and holding him close.

She's trying her best not to cry but-- she can only do so much to hold them back. She can't quite hide the way her body trembles.]
