[GCU Art Exhibition, Friday, 7:00 P.M]

*In a backroom of the GCU exhibition hall, Michi frantically paces back and forth muttering to herself as Kirumi and Ella watch.*

Michi: I better crush him! I swear, I'll show him I ain't no stupid Hanako. Him and his wimpy arms and stupid-

Ella: Michi!

Michi: *She stops pacing.* Huh?

Ella: Slow down! How about we not think about... ya know, him? What about your father?

Michi: *Her eyes widen as she grabs the sides of her head.* AHHHH! I FORGOT! *She goes back to pacing back and forth even quicker.*

Ella: Right? I can't wait to see your father again!

Kirumi: I don't think that's what the yelling was for. *Holding her phone up as she records Michi.*

Michi: *Walking faster* Why, why, why! He's never come to my college showings, why now?! Is my painting going to live up to his standards? Will he be proud? Am I going to live up to the Nagisa name? I'm gonna die if this doesn't work out!

*Worried, Kirumi and Ella look at each other.*

Kirumi: No good... *She crumples a piece of paper and tosses it at Michi's head.*

*Meanwhile, Takumi would find himself in a similar predicament accompanied by Danny and Joey.*

Takumi: Hey, cut it out!

Joey: *Tossing  another paper ball at Takumi.* You gotta relax, Taku. Stop stressing so much!

Danny: He's right, your painting is gonna do fine. You put your heart into it, remember?

Takumi: Oh man, I hope she notices it... What if she does, and doesn't like it? Ahh! Get it together Takumi! *Another paper ball hits his head.*

Danny: He looks like he's about to explode.

Takumi:*Hunching over and clenching his fists, Takumi begins to heat up.* First the talent show then the party then after the fight *Mumbling* it can't get worse I swear, this painting better fix things *Mumbling*

Danny: Uh... *Pointing at the enigma in front of him.*

Joey: Like he exploded his interactions with Michi at the party?

Danny: Oh sh-

 *Takumi explodes in an angered yell.*

[Outside the GCU Art Exhibition, Friday, 7:00 P.M.]

*Outside of the exhibition hall, a stylish black sedan pulls into the VIP drop off zone. Approaching the car, Raffa Rubino opens the back passenger side door. A man steps out, re-buttoning his gray suit and adjusting his tie. He puts a cigarette in his mouth. The man has black hair, sharp eyes, and is an older individual who still retains a youthful side to him somehow. This man would be Mr. Nagisa, Michi's famed father. He takes a deep breath before sighing.*

Raffa: *Frantically taking a lighter out.* Let me get that for you.

Mr. Nagisa: *Slowly starts to chew the cigarette.* Oh this? It's candy! *He holds up a bubble gum cigarette pack.*

Raffa: *In shock, he slowly stuffs the lighter back into his pocket.* Riiiiiight.

*Leah Nardovich, a middle age woman with ginger hair tied up in a bun sporting a black office skirt and a formal top joins the two of them.*
