"Are you sure you know what you're getting yourself into?" CJ asked out of concern.

"Don't think too much about it," I replied stoically. "Remember, this is a one man show I'm running myself. I've thought of everything I wanted to say."

"Alright. Just remember if you ever need backup, I'm here ok?"

"Sure thing. We're here. There's no time to waste."

Crystal Ong: I'm really sorry Crystal Yeo, I don't think I can continue with this.

Crystal Yeo: what?

Crystal Ong: Being your friend. You really didn't have to put down my personal style, y'know. I like drawing more realistic versions of manga but that's no excuse. You can't change who I am.

Crystal Yeo: oh yes I can! I'll do everything to make sure we're best friends forever.

Crystal Ong: Crystal, not everyone in this world wants their life to revolve around being with the same person all the time. I'm one of them. I mean, even I can't condone it when people spam me messages over pair work. I can't even count the times you bugged me to join you on genshin co-op when I had to study. I need to study more than you if we want to get the same marks.

Crystal Yeo: you can manage your time for me. You know that right?

Crystal Ong: not everything in the world can be solved with time management. My decision is final.

Unfortunately, Crystal Yeo snitched on me. She told everyone in her mother tongue about how "big a villain I was," claiming I was a backstabber. Cutting ties with the most unpopular girl in the level when you're next to the student council president's popularity wasn't a small matter, and the whole level got to know of my decision. I was soon flocked with questions about my side of the story,

"Interrogation" #1

?: Crystal, why did you stop being friends with the other Crystal?

Crystal Ong: She got too clingy for me. Every day she'd asked me to co-op on Genshin Impact which damaged my grades for the first term.

?: Damn, tell us more

Crystal Ong: she also criticised my tendency to follow more realistic storylines. You know KCP Boarding? She's criticising about the outfits and asking why they can't be Sailor Moon like

Jordan: so you didn't go with her criticism I hope?

Crystal Ong: I'll never follow criticism that wouldn't be beneficial for me.

Jordan: that's good. We should do what we love.

"Interrogation" #2

Fawn: so you cut ties with Crystal Yeo. How come?

Crystal Ong: it got toxic. She keeps spamming my DMs.

Fawn: I can see why. We should keep friends that respect that we have a life. Yes, we're social butterflies but that doesn't give us the excuse to mess with people, thinking they'd drop their lives for us.
