                  "Please don't go" , the words echoed Calliope as she woke up. It has been a total of one week since Kusotori leaving Japan and even though Calliope said she could handle herself she didn't realize the real effect Kusotori had to her.
                   Immortality had blessed the woman with constant good physical health but it didn't  help mental as she continued to abuse what should have been unholy amounts of alcohol to her system making her room look dead inside. And it was dead with bottles strewn by the dozen about and papers scattered with the remnants of what could have been work, Calliope was a mess.
                 Finally grabbing her phone by her side she read to see that unfortunately this was an unavoidable call from her manager.
"Hello" Calliope spoke in a fake joyful manner. Albeit failing due to the cracks in her voice.
"Hello Miss Mori it has been three days since your last stream. May I ask what may be the problem?" The voice on the other end their manager, Emma-Chan spoke to her with the sound of both Japanese courtesy and genuine worry.
                   Calliope checked to realize that indeed. It has been three days with her last being a drinking stream that lasted a total of 3 hours. She didn't respond back to Emma-Chan.
The manager continued. "Does this have anything to do with Miss Takanashi?", "I listened to bits of the stream and although many of your fans thought of this as well acting I as your manager realized that maybe not the case."
"Fuck" Calliope murmured under her breath and gave a short pause, what was once fake act of joy broke to pieces releasing a tearful "yes".
The manager gave a small sigh before continuing in a respectful manner.
"I'll talk too the executives and Yagoo to extend your mini-hiatus for about 4 days" Emma-Chan gave a pause for what she thought was an uncharacteristically her idea.
"But if you can't by then do another stream you may have to graduate. Understood?"
Calliope shivered for a second before gathering the strength to agree with Emma-Chan's deal.
As the two of them hung up their phones Calliope received a message from Emma-Chan:
Emma-Chan: You owe me after this.
And sent a link to a gps location.
At that moment Calliope grinned biggest she has done in an eternity. "Holy shit holy shit I have to pack my bags.
As she began packing her clothes it came to her realization that she might needed more help than she thought. Hey Siri, "Call Amelia Watson".
