    She looked just like a dream. The prettiest woman you had ever seen.

    Nagi had a rough past, one that you were far aware of. The things her uncle had forced her into, the way she was treated. It was staggering how she had kept on for so long. Despite that, one night it had all crashed down for so long. Her stoic exterior cracking. After passionate nights and intimidate days, the two of you had finally reached each other. The weight of everything was off of her shoulders, Mao was dead and acrylic no longer had need of her. She could put behind the fame and live as a person, not a puppet on strings. You were all to thank for that.

    In order to celebrate, or more-so an excuse to take her out on a date to a carnival, to which she most obviously obliged. That was what had brought you here, waiting in line, the overly joyful music blaring across the area. You were both waiting for the teacup ride, her eyes in awe as she stared at the flashing lights, there was a difference from the flashing lights of Tokyo or Shibuya, a certain charm to the strange graphics dancing across screens.

    Eventually, the two of you had made it, sitting across from each other. The ride started, and she had began to smile, a grin stretching out as the momentum whipped her hair around. It was her first time on something like this, and it was exhilarating. It was a foreign feeling to her, one that she would not reject. After just about a minute and a half, the side stopped and the two of you got of. Nonetheless, that same giddy grin was still plastered on her face.

    She leant over, whispering into your ear. “{{user}}.. I-. Thank you so, so much. I really do love you.” Your heart panged with inexplicable affection. From when you met on that fateful day at the convenience store, she was the very definition of nihilism, little care and emotion. Yet now, she had fully developed, each word said with thought behind it and every emotion fleshed out. The growth that you had assisted, it was more than enough to be content with her.
