"Yo! Has everyone been good?! It's Mitsuru! So many surprising things have been happening. But Number 15's transformation even took me by surprise! What's gonna happen next?! I'm gonna rewind the clock just a little bit."

Yamato: Pardon me. You have a visitor. Number 99-kun!

Yamato escorted Tsukumo to the visiting room.

Tsukumo: Should you not be at the New Year's Tournament?

Yamato: Yes, they're about to start the second event, so I must return to the arena after I escort you to the visiting room.

Tsukumo: Um...Yamato-dono. You're positive it's me the visitor wants?

Yamato: Yes. He seems very eager to see you.

Tsukumo: Eager to see me?

Tsukumo enter the visiting room and he is greeted by his manager.

Manager: Yo. It's been a while.

Tsukumo: Excuse me.

Manager: Wait, wait, wait, hang on, hang on! It's me! Don't you remember me?!

Tsukumo: What do you want?

A girl dashed in the room. She look around for a while until...

"[Y/N]-channnnn!" a cream-hair girl yelled.

[Y/N]: Nene-chan! I've miss you!

Amane: You don't miss me?

Tsukumo: [Y/N]-san, hello.

[Y/N] look over to him.

"Hello, Tsukumo! I didn't since you since you escape with the others!" [Y/N] reply.

Amane: Who is he? 

[Y/N]: A friend of mine! Who brought you here anyway?

Shijima: Me.

[Y/N]: Aww, I knew you'll miss me~

Tsukumo talk with his manager for a while, and [Y/N] kept chatting with her friend.

[Y/N]: Oh, I've gotta go now. Bye~

Amane: We'll visit next time!

[Y/N] walked out of the room and saw Jyugo with a cat.

[Y/N]: Jyugo? What are you doing here?

Jyugo: Seems like Tsukumo is having a tough life, huh?

[Y/N]: Yeah...

Tsukumo exit the room and saw the two.

Tsukumo: Jyugo? [Y/N]?

Jyugo: Oh. sorry. I overheard...or, well I've been listening. 

[Y/N]: So that's what your face look like.

Tsukumo panic and quickly put on his mask back to acting like a ninja.

Jyugo: You don't need to force yourself to stay in character. I heard everything. That was the real you in there, right?

Tsukumo: Probably...I guess.

[Y/N]: Probably?

Tsukumo: I don't really understand my personality or how to have a conversation. So I can't talk to people very well without acting like someone else. Maybe I've been an actor for too long.

Jyugo: You don't like your job?

Tsukumo: It's not that I don't like it. It was fun acting many roles. A lot of people watched me and praised me, and it made me happy. But then I realized...They're not watching me. They're only watching who I'm pretending to be.
