[ Ryuko hasn't forgotten about any of those things, even if she acts like she has sometimes. The nature of her biology might make her indestructible, but it doesn't mean her Life Fiber heart can't be exposed in a different way. Nonon Jakuzure is an incomprehensible person in her own right, and Ryuko is starting to like it. And it's scary. It's uncharted territory for the delinquent, but... she has never left a road not taken.
Smiling, Ryuko wipes Nonon's sugar-stained lips with the sleeve of her stadium jacket before answering decidedly: ]
Opera house.
[ It's a date. ]

[ That little move makes her face go red. It would have only been worse if it was Ryuko's fingers. But somewhere along the way apparently the two of them didn't feel like there was much distance between the two of them, getting into each other's personal space like that.
Hiding her face, turning away, she just nods. ]
R-Right. Then I'm going to take a shower before bed... make sure you clean up your broken phone.
[ Yeah, she really needs a cold shower right now. ]

[Myriam was having a bad week, she was already reaching her limit of tolerance for daily calamities and handling phone calls wasn't her idea of a break... but it needed to be done. Especially with the paper at stake.]
Hello? Nonon? Myriam Scuttlebutt here...
...
[energy left her and she'd find herself trailing off]
...it's... it's been some week, hasn't it? Kahk kahk kahk...
I'm putting together the paper and need to know if you're going to have an article for your weekly music column ready. I fielded a few questions about it already, so let me know either way!
Other than that... what've you been up to? Did that CEO woman fire any interesting revelations at you? Just, y'know, curious.
Get back to me! Bye!

Cardboard Girl. It's me.
[ Well, Nonon was having a lot of ups and down in hers, but when she calls Myriam back, she's in a LOT better mood... ]
I haven't really had a lot of time to write the column with the stupid shit that's been happening, but I think I'll get something to you. You sure anyone's even going to be reading it? Everybody's going to be wanting to read about some kind of explanation for all those glitches, beyond the bullshit excuses CERES gave us! Why were we able to just get pulled into ViViD at all like that?! What were those ghost things?!
[ Okay, so her good mood hasn't come out yet, just wait for it. ]
I asked Athena about the CEO. She said she wasn't sure if she was lying, and I'm working with a detective friend of mine to try to figure out more about who might have killed that old CEO guy.

[ There's a small box in front of your apartment door. Inside, Nonon will find a bunch of fresh, McCERES apple pies, along with a note. ]
Jakuzure-dono,
I hope you were safe this week. Contact me sometime.
For now, please enjoy these pies.
— Katsura Kotarou ❀
[ oh yeah. He included a toy too.... just for you. ]

[ ...Apple pies. Nonon eats them all and feels horrible about herself but loving every bite, before texting back. ]
Thanks for the pies, McSamurai. I'm surprise you remembered that.
I didn't die or anything, but it was a pain in the ass dealing with everything.
I take it you're alive too.

Nonon! Glad you called back-- yes, good!
Sss, sss, sss! What a silly question! Of course they will! The newspaper always comes out, no matter what happens.
--...If I knew that, so would everyone else! We're working on it. ...no, really!
Was that Athena's professional opinion? Hm... maybe she's operating on a different psychological wavelength than the rest of everyone else...
Detective friend? ...Who's that? Does this detective friend do anything newsworthy ever?

I'm not rude enough to leave a voicemail in my inbox without replying in someway.
[ Yes she is, but she doesn't need Myriam to know that. ]
That seems like a pretty bold statement to make, are you sure you can promise that to your readership? Rain or shine, sleet or snow, apocalypse or power outage?
She said she needs to speak to the CEO in person, to get a better idea. Apparently she's like a human lie detector, but it's not very good over the network.
Don't even try it. She doesn't like to be in the spotlight, and I'm sure she has her reasons. [ Kyouko hasn't even told Nonon about any of her cases in detail, so there's no way she'd tell the newspaper. ]

Sss, sss, sss. Saying I can't do it only strengthens my resolve, you know.
I've seen her do it. It's not so much lie detecting as detecting emotions that shouldn't be there... I think. ...So I guess it is like lie detecting.
Well inform this "detective friend" that I also guarantee anonymity if she does find out anything!

You have a surprising amount of resolve for a girl who can't leave a cardboard box.
[ She calls 'em like she sees 'em. ]
Are you two friends? [ Did she already ask that? Who knows, Nonon is asking anyway. ]
I already did. If she finds information about it we already planned to go to you. Since we know you aren't owned by CERES.

Sss, sss, sss! Not true! Remember? I wore that styrofoam box that one time.
...what? Me and Athena? I told you, we're both from Los Angeles, 2027! We met at Themis Legal Academy, though Athena was already a lawyer by then.
Aww... thanks Nonon! I think that might be the nicest thing you've ever said about me.

I'm glad are in an agreement, Jakuzure-dono.
Ryuko-dono has a few flyers from me you should read sometime. I would prefer not to talk about the flyer specifically over text.
It isn't right— this place.
[ Ryuko has about 84 flyers at this point, nbd. ]

We all wear boxes... metaphorically speaking, that is. Sss, sss, sss!
Nah. I'm not a lawyer. I was a senior in the judge course!
Suuure thing! By the way, what topic are you planning for your music column this week? Something romantic again, maybe?

I can't believe you seriously just said that. [ Shaking her head here, and rolling her eyes. ]
You were? Why the hell weren't you getting a journalism degree?
[ That question though makes her stop. And then answer with a serious, strangely genuine tone. ] ...Yeah, I guess it probably will be.

Because it's so true, it just overwhelmed you? Sss, sss, sss.
Well... Because it was a law school! Obviously! And I planned to be a legal journalist. Though, one never knows. If it didn't work out, I figured I could always fall back on judging...
It's up to you! [Well, that was all the confirmation she needed. Nonon and Ryuko: an item? Or maybe someone else...]

Not even a little bit. [ Double rolling of eyes. ]
...I'm pretty sure being a judge isn't a fall back plan.
I have some pretty good inspiration this week, I'll be sure to make it full of impact. [ If Myriam just asked... Nonon would tell her. She already told Ryuko that she doesn't care who knows after all. ]

I lost. And I couldn't pick who to save in my purgatory.
As punishment, I witnessed somebody dear to me be brutally murdered.
His ghost.. it lingered onto me.
[ his way of phrasing things, you know, old fashioned samurai from the shogunate period. ]
