Scene: Tsurugi Household. Hiro's Room.
Hiro winced when he was awoken by a bokken jabbing his side.
"Get up." His mother's cold voice demanded.
He yawns, stretching his arms. "What a lovely way to be woken up by my mother." He said sarcastically.
"I don't have time for your smart mouth today. Get dressed in this," Tomoe tosses Hiro some clothing. "This will be your new outfit."
"Where am I going?" Hiro questions, getting out of his bed.
"From today on, you will be a model." Tomoe reveals.
"What? I don't wanna be a model, I want to be a photographer!" Hiro protested.
"Do you think you have a choice? You live under my roof, and as long as you are in this household, you will do as I say, do you understand Hiro?" Tomoe narrows her eyes at him underneath her shades.
"You can't-!" Hiro flinched when Tomoe swiftly pointed her bokken at him.
"Do you understand?!" She yells at him.
Hiro clenches his hands and swallows. "...Yes, mother."
"Good. I've allowed you to disrespect me and be disobedient for too long. It's bad enough that I'm letting you date that girl who doesn't fit into this family." Tomoe said sharply.
"Don't talk about Giselle that way." Hiro glares at his mother.
"Get dressed. Your sister is at her Ikebana class." Tomoe then leaves her son's room.
Hiro clenches his jaw and reluctantly starts getting dressed.

Scene: Inside Tsurugi Car.
Hiro is sitting in the backseat with Tomoe in his new everyday outfit that she gave him.

"I've signed a contract with a few men's luxury fashion brands, such as Dior, Gucci, Saint Laurent, Armani, Louis Vuitton, and Ralph Lauren. You will be modeling those brands for the next few months."
Hiro squeezes his knees, but doesn't say anything.
"I've also changed up your schedule," Tomoe hands his son a high-tech tablet with her company logo on it.
He takes it and reviews his schedule.
"You will be on Mr. D'Argencourt's fencing team and will have fencing class two days every week. Monday and Tuesday after school. You'll also attend karate class every week for two days, Wednesday and Friday after school. For every Saturday, you'll learn to play a single instrument with a private teacher," Tomoe explains.
"It says I have Italian language lessons with a private tutor every Sunday at ten o'clock a.m, what happened to my Russian lessons?" Hiro asks Tomoe.
"Since you speak fluently in Russian, it's time you learn a new language, Italian." Tomoe stated.
"This all seems like so much..." Hiro mutters, scrolling through his schedule. "How will I be able to spend time with Giselle?"
"Stop complaining, all of this is for you to get a high reputation. I won't have you be a disgrace to me any longer. You should be grateful that you won't be as useless as your father anymore." Tomoe said curtly.
Hiro winced at the mention of his father.
"Fool couldn't even give me the daughter I first wanted." Tomoe mutters bitterly.
Hiro frowns and looks out the window.
"Since I co-partner with Tesla, I will purchase a car for you. That way, Tatsu won't have to obey your orders anymore." Tomoe explains.
Hiro becomes hopeful at this.
"The only reason why I'm giving you a vehicle like Tatsu is for business. I'm also giving you this privilege because you won't be a failure to me anymore. Be glad that the car will give you a bit of freedom." Tomoe says.
Hiro sighs quietly and leans his head against the window.

The Tsurugi car arrives outside the building. The back door automatically opens, allowing Hiro and Tomoe to get out.
"This will be your debut photoshoot with Dior," Tomoe says to her son.
Hiro stares up at the building, then winces when Tomoe grabbed his shoulder harshly.
"Do not disappoint me, Hiro." She orders. "Do this right, and you might not just be a disappointment anymore, do you understand?"
"...Yes, mother."

(Sukura41: I wanna make it clear that I don't think Tomoe is a very good mother. She constantly has high expectations of Kagami and is emotionally abusive towards her. This emotionally abusive side was shown in Pretension in season 5. Since Hiro is a boy, Tomoe is emotionally abusive towards him because he's not as perfect as Kagami and because he's also not a girl. In the Tsurugi family, there's all girls, and since Hiro is the first boy, Tomoe thinks he's a disappointment.)
