>>75506980Well from what you have so far, you have Sora facing two, or perhaps even three separate conflicts.
>one with herself in continuing the grind of her virtual idol activities in an era where her prime is behind her and she feels as though she is on an island>one with how audiences and other talents perceive her nowThis one kinda goes in hand with the previous one, since it's still her trying to do her best, but the spark of it all seems to be lost to her.
>finally the one with A-chan and how their relationship is apparently strained, be it from time, their careers, or something else, which leaves Sora with no one to truly confide in with her troubles or feelingsA potential next step might be for Sora to try coping by reaching out to older friends, and seeing how they moved on with their lives, and if they have settled down with someone, that can help feed into Sora's own loneliness and hopefully eventually turn her to act in a way that she won't grow old with regrets.
