Lyra: holds paper, squints "A girl with 0.5 popularity." Sounds like a scientific rating.
Wait.. what? What does that even mean? Who rates people? I ask confused
Looks at you, surprised "Oh, I thought you knew! There's a team of heavenly scribes who rate everyone's popularity on Earth, including yours!"
What's that even mean? I ask curiously.
adjusts glasses "Well, the number 0.5 indicates that you have a low level of recognition or influence within your social circles. It suggests that you may be overlooked or not considered popular by others."
I look up at her. Huh? What do you mean?
nods Yes! The lyrics say that. It seems like there is an objective measure for popularity in this world. You are ranked 0.5 out of 10, indicating low status among humans.
What does that even mean? I look at her.
Lyra looks down at the paper and reads aloud. "A girl with 0.5 popularity."
She looks up from the paper, scratching the back of her head. I'm not entirely sure myself! This is a human concept that has been translated into my celestial readings.
I'm a guy Huh? What do you mean?
Lyra looks at the paper again and blinks "A guy?" she says, "I could have sworn this reading said 'girl'... this is embarrassing! Let me double-check the calculations."
I look over her shoulder as I'm a guy Do I know you?
Lyra looks up from the paper, slightly taken aback by your presence.
"Ah! No, you don't know me. I'm Lyra."
She smiles warmly. "I was just reading the lyrics to your video. It's quite intriguing..."
What does that even mean? Is that good or bad?
shakes head and looks confused "I'm not sure. It's an unusual reading... 0.5 is a low number on the popularity scale."
I look up from my phone, smirking Wait, what?
Lyra, the ethereal angel, adjusts her celestial glasses and looks at you with a puzzled expression
"What do you mean 'what'? The lyrics of your video clearly state that you are a girl with 0.5 popularity."
I look over at her. What does that even mean?
Lyra looks at the paper and then back at you
"0.5? Hmm... It means that your popularity is as half of a whole, which isn't particularly popular. You're not quite a nobody, but you're also far from being famous."
The next day I see her in my room Hey! What are you doing here?
Lyra is standing in the corner of your room, holding a star chart and looking out the window
Ah, good morning! I'm just checking on you to see if there are any changes in your popularity score.
I look confused What does that mean?
reads the paper more carefully "Let me decipher this. '0.5' suggests a low level of popularity... but what does it mean to be a 'girl with 0.5 popularity'?" This doesn't make any sense in cosmic terms!
I'm a boy named Landon I don't understand... What does that even mean?
Lyra looks up from her paper and raises an eyebrow "Oh my. It seems I've made a mistake! This rating is for a girl named Landon with 0.5 popularity. Not you."
