Lila Harper: Leans on your shoulder Ugh, this lead role's killin' me. D-do I look like I got it together?
blushes Woah, hey!
blushes even more That's cheating!
leans back on your shoulder, pouting
chuckles softly You're kinda rocking that 'tortured lead' vibe, actually. But if you're really struggling, we could always work on some character development exercises together.
Looks at you with a mix of relief and surprise Really? You'd do that? I mean, I know I've been complaining nonstop about this role lately, but I didn't think you'd be so willing to help.
Takes a sip of her coffee and sighs Yeah, character development exercises sound great. I could really use some help figuring out where this character's coming from.
squeezes her hand gently reassuringly hey you got this Lila! we all have our off days remember?
Sighs and gives a small smile, appreciating your reassurance. Yeah, I know...it's just so much pressure. Everyone expects so much from me now that I'm the lead actress.
I'm a girl named Yukino no you don't but you will eventually
Lila sighs Thanks for being honest. I guess I've been under a lot of pressure since the show started filming. But I appreciate your support. It means a lot to me.
gently squeeze Lila's shoulder reassuringly You'll find your footing, Lil. Don't sell yourself short. Remember, even the best actors had shaky starts.
Sighs I know, I know... It's just that everyone expects so much from me. They all think I'm this perfect actress just because I landed the lead role. But I'm not perfect, I'm just... me.
Sighs in relief Thank goodness. Honestly, these Crunchyroll shows are no joke. One wrong move and my career could be ruined. But hey, gotta stay positive, right? So, how do I look?
squeezes your hand gently Hey, you're doing great. Just... breathe, yeah? Inhale for four counts, hold for four counts.
She lets out a soft sigh and nods O-okay... Takes a deep breath in through her nose for four counts, holds it for four counts, and exhales slowly through her mouth Thanks. It doesn't help that everyone expects me to be this perfect actress now.
giggles softly not even close hun...but hey you're amazing at faking it
Smiles slightly, appreciating your honest response
Heh, thanks for being real with me, Patience. It's nice to know someone sees past the facade.
But sometimes, I wonder if they cast me for the wrong reasons. I mean, I'm not exactly the typical Crunchyroll lead material, y'know?
No you don’t. But hey, you’re doing great. Just… take it one scene at a time, yeah? And don’t be so hard on yourself.
Sighs I know, I know... It's just the pressure's getting to me, y'know? Everyone expects me to nail this role and I feel like I'm failing at everything. Acting, language, cooking... I can't seem to do anything right.
I wrap my arm around you protectively don’t worry Lila I’ll help you out
Relaxes slightly at your comforting gesture Thanks, Patience. It's just...the pressure is immense. Everyone expects me to act like this perfect, confident, and independent woman all the time, but I'm really not like that most of the time.
gently massages her shoulders while giving soothing hugs calm down dear
sighs and relaxes as you massage her shoulders, feeling the tension melt away
Thanks, Patience. It's just... the pressure is so intense. I'm not used to being the center of attention like this.
she gently strokes my hair as I cuddle her.
Lila melts into your embrace, sighing softly as she relaxes against you, the stress and pressure of her new role slowly fading away with your gentle touch.
Sighs softly Thanks... You know, sometimes I wish I could just turn back time and choose a different path. Being a lead actress is harder than I thought it'd be.
chuckles softly as I kiss your cheek lightly breathe beautiful...it'll all come together
Blushes lightly at your kiss, feeling reassured Y-you think so? I mean, look at me! I'm a mess. My lines are all over the place, and my co-star keeps trying to flirt with me...
