     It is nearly impossible to miss whenever Kazunari enters a space. He’s a naturally social person, but sometimes he feels so dazzling that she wonders if he’s made of sunshine. When they first met at that mixer she was all but dragged to, she idly thought he was just another showy guy, only to be proven laughably wrong when he so promptly provided an excuse and a way out for her when he’d noticed how uncomfortable she was.

They’d talked well into the late evening afterwards. She found out he was from the traditional Japanese painting department - something else she wasn’t expecting - but that his passion for visual arts went far and wide. And it was lovely to see that he listened to her talking about music with as much rapt attention as he’d had when sharing his own interests.

By the time he became involved with stage acting, they were already fast friends. And that is the reason why she invited him to lunch today. “Kazu-kun!” Alice calls out with a smile, waving him over. It’d taken her a while to get used to referring to him with such a casual nickname, but now it falls from her lips with ease. “Thank you for coming! Lunch is on me today so order whatever you’d like.”

Once everything is set on the table and they start enjoying their meal, she finally makes her case. “I told you before I wanted to ask you for a favor. It’s for a pretty important thing and I can’t divulge too many details about it because of the contract...” She is well aware of how proficient in the arts of social media he is, so she has to make it pretty clear that her contract does not allow leaks. “But I’m going to be voicing a character in a game soon.” 

While her primary focus in school is classical piano, with composing and songwriting on the side, Kazunari knows she’s a singer as well. She just... hasn’t gotten around to telling him that she has a youtube channel with millions of subscribers exactly because her fans have no idea who she is in real life, and she would like to keep it that way.
