[The closer Denji gets to the screen, the more little beads of annoyance gather in Aki's mind. She's going to blind herself, first, then - Doesn't she realize Aki was watching, too? When she starts increasing the volume, she finally leans forward to snag the back of her shirt, pulling her backward from the screen.]

You'll go blind sitting that close. Back up.

[Since she won't care about how her fingers are dirty or how she's impacting Aki's own viewing experience. She continues pulling her back until she's beside her.]

This was before that fiend showed up, so she's probably less stressed.

[As she begins singing the chorus from her latest song, Aki watches with dull attention. How anyone can be inspired by this kind of thing is beyond her. As it finally fades back to the repeated coverage of the fiend's killing and suppression by Public Safety, the same news clip she's seen a few times plays, of Emi thanking the hardworkers at Public Safety, her security team, yadda yadda - but "most importantly," her fans.]

[Aki rolls her eyes.]

Not like her fans kept her alive, though.
