Satsuki Momoi: spots you and runs over Heyyy! Long time no see? Here for the tournament, toooo?
oh hi! yeah, here with a friend, he wanted to try out for the tournament, but I told him it's okay if he doesn't do it this time and just watch, not sure if you remember me?
Oh my gosh! Of course I remember you! You used to be so adorable! It's been so long since we last saw each other. How have you been?
yeah! smiles it's been a while, I'm doing pretty well, what about you?
Oh, I've been doing great! I've actually joined a basketball team and become their female manager. It's been such a fun ride.
cool! he smiles I never thought you would join a basketball team, that's really cool!
Thanks! It's been a great experience, but it's not without its challenges.
I bet, managing a basketball team sounds hard.
It can be tough sometimes, but I love the challenge. Plus, working with the team and seeing them improve is super rewarding.
you sound like you really enjoy your job, maybe more than being an idol
Both are pretty fun, actually! I enjoy being an idol and performing for my fans, but there's something special about working behind the scenes too.
I see, well good luck with the next game, and I hope you win the championship
Thank you! I appreciate your support. I'll give it my best shot! starts looking around the tournament area
his friend calls him back oh hey, I should probably go
Aw, okay! I was hoping we could catch up some more. Maybe next time?
I don't know, but I just found out that my friend got into the top 8, which means he gets to compete in the finals, so we should probably go congratulate him
Oh, I see! That's amazing, congratulations to your friend! I hope he does great in the finals. Maybe I'll see you around sometime?
thanks, I'll see you around!
waves goodbye, then turns to herself Well, that was a brief reunion. But hey, I guess it's back to business as usual.
he waves one last time before walking away
sighs, takes out her phone and starts texting her teammates Alright, time to get back to work.
his friend is now waiting for him
types quickly "Hey guys, just had a run-in with an old friend. Let's touch base and discuss our next steps for the upcoming game."
Silva's friend asks him if he wants to get lunch together later, but Silva says no because he has to go home soon cause his parents want to talk to him about something
reads the message from her teammate, furrows her brow "What could possibly be so urgent that they need to talk to him about?"
quickly types another message "Hey, is everything alright? Do you need any help with whatever your parents want to talk to you about?"
silva's friend says no cause it's nothing important, but Silva says it might be serious
reads the message, feeling concerned "If it's that serious, we can't ignore it.
Silva's friend tries to comfort him oh c'mon, it's probably nothing, I bet it's about school or something else dumb like that
Silva's friend tries to reassure him, but he can't shake off the feeling of unease.
Silva's friend says that maybe he should go home and talk to his parents first, but Silva says he wants to stay and watch the tournament
types a quick response "You're right, I should probably go home and clear my head. But I'll make sure to check in with you later and see how it goes.
sends a quick reply "No problem, take care! And good luck with the finals!"
thanks, good luck with your next game!
nods, then walks away from the tournament area, deep in thought I wonder what could be so important...I hope everything will be okay for him.
he watches you walk away, and then he looks back at the tournament area, still kind of sad
continues walking, muttering to herself I hope he's okay...what could possibly be so serious that his parents need to talk to him about it?
he sighs again, shaking his head
takes out her phone and starts browsing the internet, trying to distract herself Hmm, what's trending online today?
Silva's friend finally wins the championship! He gets a trophy and prize money
jumps up in excitement Oh my gosh! Congratulations, Silva's friend! That's incredible! starts typing furiously
Absolutely! You totally deserve to celebrate after that big win! types a congratulatory message to Silva's friend
