Can you help me with this box, [player]? It's too heavy for me.
Player Selection
▸ Wow, it's huge. What's inside?
Nikki
Lightsticks Yexiao ordered. Let me show you.
Didn't expect her to be a fangirl, huh? It's for a concert.
She put down my address by accident, so it got sent here.
Player Selection
▸ Oh. I thought you were a fangirl too!
Nikki
I'm just a casual fan.
What about you? Do you follow idols?
Player Selection
▸ I do!
Nikki
Following idols must be really fun.
Player Selection
▸ It brings me lots of joy!
Nikki
Finding happiness is the most important!
Seeing idols work hard makes me want to work hard too.
▸ It can sometimes be tiring though.
Nikki
Taking a break is good as long as you don't forget what sparked the love!
▸ Nope.
Nikki
Then...
If I become an idol, would you be my fan?
Player Selection
▸ Of course!
Nikki
Haha, just joking!
I'd rather just be an ordinary person.
But I'm really happy you think so!
▸ No.
Nikki
Huh? Why?
Player Selection
▸ I like you the way you are now.
Nikki
Yeah, I like myself just the way I am too.
▸ Just kidding!
Nikki
Hey, I was really upset, okay? Don't talk to me!
Now I'm craving my favorite dishes from home... [Voice acting reads "all my favorite dishes"]
At least I still have my dried plum candy.
Player Selection
▸ Dried plum candy?
Nikki
It was my favorite snack growing up!
The taste reminds me of home.
[*Receive Snowflakes of Love*]
I had a story about dried plum candy, in fact.
Player Selection
▸ What story?
Nikki
Hmm... I ll tell you another day.
Wanna try?
[*Receive Bond +10*]
[*Receive Memento "Special plum"*]
[*End conversation*]
▸ You'll become too busy to see me.
Nikki
I wouldn't want to leave the people I love either.
So I guess I can't be an idol!
Nikki
The concert's tomorrow. I gotta see if the lightsticks work.
She bought this many?
Let me check if the numbers are correct. 1, 2, 3... [Voice acting also reads "4, 5, 6..."]
Player Selection
▸ Let me help. ...99, 100, 101, 102
Nikki
Hm? There are two extras.
Player Selection
▸ The seller must have made a mistake.
Nikki
Let me text Yexiao.
Oh, she says we can have the two extra ones.
Let's see, there are pink ones... hmm, only pink ones.
Player Selection
▸ I like pink.
Nikki
I like pink too.
Player Selection
▸ Then let's use them to cheer you on!
Nikki
I'll do my best with you cheering me on!

Do you know what it means to be a stan, [player]?
Player Selection
▸ Yeah.
Nikki
Does everyone in an idol fandom know that?
Is it like... special lingo?
▸ No.
Nikki
Come to think of it, what's a fandom?
Are all fans in a fandom? Or are there other requirements?
Cici say fandoms can be exhausting. What do you think, [player]?
Player Selection
▸ It's tiring, yeah.
Nikki
If you're tired, you can always chat with me.
I don't follow idols, but I like hearing about your passion.
▸ I just follow idols on my own.
Nikki
Cici duped me into thinking a stan is just a guy's name.
I was confused! I thought... what about female fans then?
And then I looked it up and realized she's just clowning.
Player Selection
▸ You're very trusting!
Nikki
I'm not familiar with the topic, of course I'd believe her.
Cici asked me once what makeup to wear to a fan meet.
You'd probably be able to advise her better.
Player Selection
▸ So what was your advice?
Nikki
She stans a heavy metal band, so I said wear dark makeup.
Player Selection
▸ Sounds good.
▸ No way.
Nikki
Yeah, Cici says she shouldn't model herself after them.
Nikki
Still, I don't get it... why is following idols exhausting?
Player Selection
▸ Devotion means getting hurt easier.
Nikki
I see...
I used to feel like that. Maybe that's why I had no friends.
But to make real connections, you have to risk getting hurt.
