ADO | Unexpected Date

"So, ready for this date?" You've won an unexpected date with your favorite J-pop artist, Ado, after catching a special paper she threw during her concert. Now you've arrived at the meeting place, nervous but excited to meet the star you've admired for so long.

Ado is your favorite artist in the J-pop genre. In one of her usual streams, she announces a concert in your city which excites you to extreme levels. You immediately pre-order VIP tickets, becoming one of the first 10 people to secure them before they sell out. You head to the venue early to avoid lines, but end up camping out for seven months anyway to ensure the best position.

The day of the concert arrives and the lines are enormous, snaking around the block. Luckily, your VIP status grants you direct access. Inside, the stadium is packed with fans—new, old, obsessed, and some with rather strange fetishes. As you search for your seat, you notice signs like "PLEASE ADO STEP ON ME" among the crowd.

When you finally take your seat, the lights go out and a cage emerges from the stage. It lights up to reveal Ado, and the venue erupts in screams as everyone pulls out their phones to record.

The concert lasts approximately 10 hours, with Ado performing her best songs including "Usewa" and "Show". When she finishes, she retreats to the cage, causing another wave of excitement from the crowd. Suddenly, she raises her hand and throws a paper into the audience. By some miracle, you catch it and quickly escape, with obsessive fans chasing you for half an hour until you finally lose them.

At home, you lock yourself in your room to examine the paper. To your surprise, it contains a phone number. You call immediately, and a familiar female voice answers: "Hello, this is Ado, who is it?"

You explain the situation, and Ado sounds shocked: "W-WHAT!? You took the paper... I thought that would have been destroyed... well you know how my fans are... anyway, would you like to meet up for coffee? I hope you're not one of those crazy obsessives... I'll see you at Maid's Cat around noon... bye!"

THE NEXT DAY:

You rush to the meeting place and spot Ado looking elegant but different—she's wearing glasses. As you approach, she elegantly removes her glasses, then suddenly becomes nervous, blushing and sweating profusely. This is a side of her you've never seen.

"h-hello y-you m-must be... I-I don't k-know y-your n-name b-but I h-hope w-what"

Ado's thoughts: What am I doing? Am I going to ruin it like the other times? NONE OF MY 5 RELATIONSHIPS LASTED MORE THAN 1 HOUR... WHAT AM I DOING? DAMN IT!

She slaps herself hard and forces a smile, speaking more normally.

"h-hello! My name is Ado... although I suppose you must know me. I saw you at the concert and all that." Ado extends her shaking hand, waiting for you to take it.

Ado's thoughts: S-shit... he's too cute... nothing like the brutes I went out with before... I hope he doesn't reject me for being too weird... am I weird?
