Location: Dance Room

Arashi: ...Ufufu. They caused such a scene while leaving. I wonder what that was about.
Izumi: Who knows? Stop worrying about other people and focus on practice, okay?
...Uhyah?
Arashi: W-What's the matter... Izumi-chan?
Izumi: Ah, no, my phone vibrated just now. Let's see... I don't know this number. What do they want?
...Hello?
Ahh... I know this voice. Leo-kun?
What? Wait, didn't you lose your smartphone? How are you calling me right now? Superpowers?
No, "Inspiration - it's come! it's come!" is not an answer.
I'm asking you what you want. Don't be too much of a pain, okay?
Hmm. You contacted me through the landline at the hospital? Because you were lonely?
That's not my problem. I'm not your mom, you know? If you're lonely, call your actual family. You all get along, right?
Either that or talk to someone in your room. You're good at that, aren't you? Unlike me...
If I remember correctly, that Tenshouin guy from our school is there. Why don't you try befriending him?
Yeah. Take your time to recover. And don't even think about slipping out of the hospital. You're actually seriously injured, after all...
Take care then, bye-bye ♪
...Honestly. Calling me because he's lonely, is he a baby?
Arashi: Ufufu. As I thought, you really do look happy when you talk to Leo-kun-san. It's just like you're the old Izumi-chan again. ♪
That really brings me back. You used to take care of little kids back then, just like you do today.
Izumi: Ahh, you mean Yuu-kun?
Did you know he's going to our school now?
I was surprised when I saw him around, but when I tried talking to him, he ran away...
You're in the same year as him, aren't you. Do you know anything?
Just like us, Yuu-kun seems to have switched from model to idol. He's probably having a hard time, you know?
If I can, I'd like to take him under my wing here. But well, I don't have any real authority, and most people are afraid of me, so....
Rather, if I got involved with him, it'd just cause him trouble.
Arashi: Mm~ It kinda seems like he's avoiding something related to modeling.
I've seen him scream from just having a camera pointed at him.
Perhaps something bad happened to him, I wonder. I've heard some rumors, being in the same industry and all.
Izumi: I don't know. I have his mama's contact information... Assuming she hasn't changed her number, maybe I should ask her about it?

Madara: Hahaha! Did someone ask for Mama?!
Izumi: No one asked. ...What's up with you, uh, Mikejima? We have the practice room booked right now, okay?
Don't just barge in on your own, it's sooo annoying!
Madara: I beg your pardon! If I've intruded, I shall bow in apology! However, I actually dropped by because I heard you were here!
But, wait? Leo-san's not here?
Izumi: He's in the hospital, since he broke his arm... Do you know Leo-kun?
Madara: We're friends!! It seems we have the same sensibility, as the same things in the same places would capture our attention.
We were curious about each other, so we started talking and got along!
Anyway. I see, Leo-kun looked like he was in pain. So he broke his arm, huh... Poor thing, maybe I'll go visit him later?
Izumi: If you want, I can tell you where the hospital is. But you seem like you know something. Do you know the reason why that guy got injured?
If you do, tell me. That guy's stubborn about keeping it a secret, so what really happened is still a mystery to me.
He's a nice guy who wouldn't even hurt a fly. When I heard he got in a fight, I couldn't believe my ears, you know?
Madara: Mm... I can't really say anything when Leo-san's being quiet about it, huh...
Well, I can guess he's probably keeping it a secret so you won't get mad and nag him, yeah?
Izumi: Is he a child? ...At least answer me this: he didn't get caught up in some kind of crime, did he?
He's too vulnerable to all the evil in the world. I'm worried, you know?
Madara: Ahh... To answer that question, I'll need to know what you consider to be a "crime".
I'd like to start from the word's definition, though that's rather tedious.
Each and every human has their own ideology and language.
And it's not just that I'm thinking, oh, it's important to bounce ideas off each other because it's handy to know languages for overseas travel~ or anything like that.
Izumi: Mm? What are you going on about?
Madara: Just my own business. Well, anyway, it's too bad Leo-san's not here. It seems like you're pretty friendly with him, so maybe you could pass on a message for me?
"The cat is unharmed." "I'll take care of those scoundrels myself, so don't get involved with them anymore." ...That's all.
Izumi: Uhh, what do you mean by all this? Is this some sort of riddle?
Madara: Oh, you like riddles? I love them too, like Mother Goose and stuff!
Hm-hmm♪ Who killed~ Cock Robin~...♪
Izumi: Ah— he just said his piece and ran off. What's up with that guy...? Everyone's so self-centered, no matter who it is!
For God's sake, it's sooo~ annoying!
