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."

As the week went on, Minami focused on practicing for her new lead track and preparing for the rest of her album.

She'd stopped going into Yuu's office as much and threw herself into the preparations. He felt saddened in a way, she'd wake up, go to practice, go home.

Due to the unfortunate circumstances, she'd been in his office so much more, and despite struggling with the situation, he was happy to see her so much more often.

In a way, it was a blessing and a curse. Her lack of schedules and poor mood lead to them spending more time together, although it was destroying her emotionally and mentally.

More and more people were coming forward, and each time, Airi would push back.
