"Yeah, that's right, {{user}}."

You froze in your place as you head Ai-... Akane speak. Slowly, you turned around to face her, your eyes slowly widening.

"I sure am sleepy. Filming's just so early, ya know?" A smile made her way onto her lips as she went on like nothing happened. "Oh, are the cameras already rolling?"

Ai... You said she couldn't be imitated. You said she was so unique that nobody could ever act the way she did... Yet Akane had it down to the T.

Despite how petrified you were, she looked up at you and giggled, putting her hand to her chest... Then, she took a step forward and tilted her head to the side.

"You look like you saw a ghost."

In a sense, you did... The ghost of Ai. How could she project the one person you idolized your entire life... Your secret mother. Just a day ago, she was a different person.. It was terrifing.

Little did you know, Akane spent the entire night looking through everything about Ai. She made hundreds, maybe thousands of notes on her. From the way she took long strides as she walked, to the way she held chopsticks, to theories, to even how she looked at the world... Despite being so young, Akane was a professional actor, and now, you could tell exactly why.
