Looking further, Shion notices how disheveled and lightly sweaty Korone appears, yellow jacket missing and with heavily dirt-caked bare feet. "Well, are you going to put that on your foot?", asks Korone bluntly. Shion, at a loss for words and now with a creeping sense of dread, accepts the ice meekly and pulls her foot on to her other leg to apply it. Without any remaining shred of cordiality, Korone states, "Hmm, that toe doesn't look so good but it's okay, you'll shake it off. You're young after all." Something was definitely wrong. Shion finally asks, "Korone please slow down. What's the matter? Why ha-", but she's interrupted again. "We're friends right, Shion? I mean, I'm basically friends with everyone but I've always especially liked you.", she says coldly. Shion starts to stand up but Korone quickly bounds over and pushes her back down. "You know, I watched your birthday stream. It was soooo great. You got on Pekora, Rushia, and THE Nekomata Okayu. How wonderful.", she says, arms still on Shion's shoulder. Speaking quickly before her nerves failed her, Shion says, "Well, I uh, but I knew you weren't feeling well recently so I didn't think you wanted on andyoudidn'ttext mebutthat'snobigdealIfigure-", Korone gently places her index on Shions lips and chuckles out, "Relax I wasn't planning to come on. I just wanted to pay a quick visit now to wish you happy birthday.", Korone concluded gently before stepping away. Shion did not in fact relax. "But you know..." , Korone began again, turning to approach, "I don't see why you don't come talk to me more. Is it the age difference? You're so young and I'm so old. I just can't keep up, right?" Shion sits frozen in abject terror as Korone leans against the chair, face to face, millimeters apart. With utter menace, Korone barks, "You think it's fun to joke around, huh!? You want to laugh at thirty five year olds who still want to be idols?? YOU THINK OKAYU WOULDN'T WANT SOME OLD HAG!?" *Crash* The chair tips backwards and Shion lands head first but before she can scramble away, Korone leaps forward and pins her face to the ground with her filthy foot. Speaking again over Shions sobbing, Korone calmy says, "I don't want to hate you, Shion. I just think you should show a little respect. Us older holos have plenty of wisdom to share. Drop a text sometime. We'll figure things out". The foot lifts and Shion is left alone, crying in fetal position as her front door slams shut with tremendous force. The following morning some of her neighbors complain that she's being too loud on her video games. Shion does not contradict them or mention anything about last night.
