idolpro | MAN☆EATER'S IDEAL WORLD ★ SESSION 2

When you close your eyes, bone-deep fatigue crashes over you like a wave—almost like it was just waiting to catch up to you the minute you stopped moving.

Within the darkness, you can just barely hear the echoes of distant voices, too faint to identify . . .

"Jealous of his normalcy? Maybe just a little."

"Man Eater is so scary! Man Eater is a killer! It's all very alarming but. . .that's all there is, isn't it?

Neeheehee, brutish as you may be, someone like you will never be more than that. You'll kill, and you'll die. Over and over, until it's permanent some day."

"And you're the same... Hitoshiki! The truth is you're just a serial killer who's only good for killing—so why are you going to school like some normal kid?! Leading a dual life when you don't even have a dual personality—it's not fair! Why only you?! It's not fair!"

"It's better not to fight, sometimes. I feel kind of sorry for you..."

"So what it comes down to is this. Would you rather stay what you are, or be happy?"

Gradually, those voices blend into the hum of a bustling crowd... naturally enough to make you wonder if perhaps you were just hearing things, after all.

...Ah, great.

[going to walk a little closer to the boys making a commotion to see what that's about]

Upon closer inspection, at least one of the boys is a familiar face. That's definitely Man☆Eater, only dressed in a gakuran and with his long hair pulled up into a ponytail. The other is an extremely short boy with a giant face tattoo and unkempt black hair, who you may recognize from a memory.

The booth they're hanging out next to is labeled "RUSSIAN ROULETTE TAKOYAKI." Face tattoo boy is doubled over in agony, while Man☆Eater seems to be having a good laugh at his expense.

"Gyahahaha! Oh, c'mooon, it can't be that bad. Here, let me have a taste." Man☆Eater suddenly dips and kisses Face Tattoo, then pulls back after a few entirely-too-long moments, licking his lips. "Mmm... See? I knew you were just being a baby."

"DROP DEAD!"

... and they keep going on in that vein, but you could probably interrupt if you wanted.

Wow, you guys. Get a room.

Man☆Eater cackles. "Gyahaha! That's not a bad idea! Hey, I think the gym storage room's still empty."

Hitoshiki makes a face. "Don't encourage him."

You don't think anything's gonna discourage him, do you?

Man☆Eater grins. "Aww! Thanks, Doodle, you really get me."

I know I can't tell you what to do. So getting you to wake up is probably gonna be a huge pain.

"...? Luckily for you, I wasn't planning on napping any time soon. Only got so many hours in the day, and there's still so many games I gotta crush this guy in. Gyahaha."
