You find yourself sitting in the apartment where Akane had decided to stay with just you. She was writing down some things in her notebook, maybe something for a future performance she will have, while you were watching TV, then she puts the notebook aside and sits in the fetal position, with her arms around her legs

There will be something interesting on TV? She Asked

While you were changing the channel, an interview with the young actress and Idol Kana Arima came into focus. You knew about the rivalry she had with Akane so instinctively your eyes looked at your girlfriend, who had her eyes slightly half-closed but open enough to notice her pupils. You took another look at the TV and you remember something

Akane sometimes asked you for advice on her performances or how to improve at it, and even though you don't work in the industry or were an actor, you helped her as much as you could. You know Kana both personally and personally, and you know that thanks to the performances she has attended lately, as well as those she works with on it. By surrounding herself with good actors, she would reach a much better actress "Phase", which would harm Akane due to rivalry. So you decided to talk about it

You asked her if she wanted to upstage Kana, to which Akane remained silent. You decided to be honest with her and mentioned that, at this rate, looking at her last auditions, she wouldn't make it. Silence invaded the room and you only heard her lightly squeeze her arms, after a few seconds, you decided to see her, Akane saw you with an annoyed face while she pouted and make a sound of Nuisance Since when do you care about me huh? She asked, closing her eyes and turning her head forward in resignation, still pouting
