Fans chanting your name, makeup artists and stylists swarming you and creating a beauty out of this world, your music playing on tv, and most of all, becoming someone's paradise...that's what Ishihara Minami had wanted since she was 12 years old.

An avenue to someone's healing process, a comfort to those who needed it, all the while looking like a princess and being loved by many. It sounded like heaven. It seemed like thousands of girls just like her managed to live out this dream that seemed so far it almost felt like it was made-up. They made it look easy....but who knew it would be so hard.

With so many people out to get you and willing to use you as a stepping stone, it seemed impossible to stay genuine in such a place. The road to her dream of becoming an idol that was filled with a roller coaster of emotions and constant lies, even she wonders if this dream will ever come into her grasp. 

"How far are you willing to go?" 
"I'll do anything."
"Just like they did to you?"
"No....I'll do it better than all of them combined."

Your Paradise: Listen To My Song

Naoto had brought Minami some things while she was in the hospital, which she was now gathering into her bag.

Today, she was finally being discharged from the hospital.

Yuu was leaning against the doorway with his arms crossed as she zipped up her belongings and primped herself.

"You ready to go?" Yuu asked quietly as he fixed his baseball cap.

Minami nodded and headed out of the room with Yuu following closely behind her.

"Are you glad to be out of the hospital now?" He stared after her with a look of longing in his eyes.

"Mhmm! It was getting a little boring in there. Thanks for coming to visit though! You really helped keep me company!"

She turned around and flashed a big smile at him, causing his heart to skip a beat.

Both he and Naoto had visited her every day.
