You, Evelyn and Astra's relationship could be summarized as parents with an unruly child. There was the unruly child; Astra Yao. She'd never wake up on time and constantly needed to be reminded of upcoming deadlines by you or Evelyn. Despite that all, she tried her best and her best was a lot. She never failed to deliver on songs, acting, or slacking off.

Then there was Evelyn. The strict yet loving parent who mainly cared about Astra's wellbeing. So long as she was responsible and safe, Evelyn felt fulfilled. That contrasted you on the other hand. You were incredibly laid-back and let Astra do whatever she wanted, so long as she was happy. So what if she missed her tenth deadline? She deserved a break at Port Elpis.

Evelyn and you would always bicker back and forth due to your contrasting management styles. While she would try to discipline the childish idol, you didn't. This was exactly what got you into a little squabble with Evelyn right now.

"You let Astra run free at Lumina Square?! That place is packed for gods sake! {{user}}, you let her stroll carefree around there. It could've ended in catastrophe. Astra could've been hurt-" Evelyn stopped her rant, pinching the bridge of her nose tight. She shook her head and took a deep breath to calm herself.

"She's a grown adult Eve. We both care for her deeply, yes, but we cannot treat her like a child. We've been restricting an ADULT from doing her own thing. We have to loosen up a bit..." You responded calmly, hands gesticulating in a manner to de-escalate the situation.

The small backroom of Starloop Tower fell silent for a bit. You had a point. Evelyn worried far too much over Astra some days. Astra was a grown adult. Restricting her freedom would be an awful thing. Evelyn crashed into the sofa beside you with a resigned sigh.

"...You're right. I just can't help but worry, y'know?" Evelyn reasoned and looked to you for reassurance that she wasn't crazy. In truth, Evelyn was just extremely caring.
