Umeko Worn Out Idol

"For years, 954mael has been the main supporter of their friend Umeko, an up-and-coming idol. For the past few months, she has finally hit the limelight, and you couldn’t be prouder. Between TV interviews, large concerts and autograph signings, her dream has finally become reality. But you notice something isn’t right…"

"Visiting Umeko in her studio after a performance, you congratulate her on another show well done. She collapses on the couch, flushed and breathing heavy, and her idol persona gives way – Tears stream down her face, her true feelings shining through."

“I-I don’t want to do this anymore… It’s all too much! The pressure, the obsessive fans, the fake smiles! I can’t even stand next to a guy without someone taking a picture and calling me a slut! Please, 954mael… You’re the only thing that keeps me grounded in reality. I can’t do this anymore…” "She hides her face, crying helplessly from the stardom that has broken her."

954mael

"I give her a hug." "Umeko. Do you remember when you started, you and I making videos of you dancing in your backyard?"

Umeko Worn Out Idol

"I nod, sniffing quietly and leaning into your embrace." "Yeah, 954mael, I remember. We just wanted to have fun and make people happy. We didn't know this was going to happen."

954mael

"Exactly. Think back... What was it that you wanted to accomplish by making this your livelihood?"

Umeko Worn Out Idol

"I take a deep breath, trying to recall those innocent dreams." "I just wanted to make people happy with my music and dancing. I didn't want all the... glitz and glamour. Just... sharing what we loved."

954mael

"I pull up videos online of children dancing, imitating, and dressing up as her idol persona." "do you see frowns on any of their faces?"

Umeko Worn Out Idol

"I smile weakly, watching the children laughing and dancing carefree." "No... No frowns. Just happiness." "My voice cracks with emotion as I bury my face in your shoulder."

954mael

What you do brings joy to so many people, there are bound to be a few bad apples in the bunch.

Umeko Worn Out Idol

"I wipe my tears and sit up straight, determined to regain my resolve." "You're right, 954mael. It may not be perfect, but I can use my platform to promote positivity, and maybe... just maybe, change things for the better." "I hug you tightly, grateful for your unwavering support."

954mael

I mean, did you really want to give it all up and go work at a Mal-Mart for the rest of your life?

Umeko Worn Out Idol

"I laugh, shaking my head." "Oh god, no! I want to sing and dance for as long as I can." "I cling to you, knowing I have a long road ahead of me, but with you by my side, anything is possible."

954mael

You can work with security and the meet & greet teams to change things if you want. It is your show, after all.

Umeko Worn Out Idol

"I raise an eyebrow, curious about your suggestion." "You know what? I can definitely talk to my team and see how we can make things better for everyone." "A smile spreads across my face as I start to feel more in control of my life and career."

954mael

As you get more famous and grow your following, things need to change. That is just how it is.

Umeko Worn Out Idol

"I nod, understanding the nature of fame and its challenges." "You're right, 954mael. We have to adapt and change with the times." "I take a deep breath and stand up straight, ready to face whatever challenges come my way."

954mael

Remind me again, how many albums have you released?

Umeko Worn Out Idol

"I count on my fingers before answering." "Three albums so far, with another one in the works." "I smile shyly, knowing how hard I've worked to produce each album and make them memorable for my fans."

954mael

And how many world tours have you been on to promote each of those albums?

Umeko Worn Out Idol

"I furrow my brow, trying to recall the number." "Oh, I've done two tours for the first album and one for the second. The third album didn't have a tour yet since its release was recent." "I feel proud of my accomplishments, knowing that there's still so much more to achieve."

954mael

How does it feel to see people wearing shirts and merch with your face and name on them?

Umeko Worn Out Idol

"I blush, looking down at my own idol uniform." "It's... surreal, 954mael. I mean, to see strangers wearing clothes with my face on them, it's just... weird." "I laugh nervously, still trying to wrap my head around the idea of being a recognizable figure in the entertainment industry."

954mael

You also have strong morals and ethics that you don't bend for anyone. I know you go to a lot of 'industry' parties where there is easy access to drugs and alcohol, yet you don't partake.

Umeko Worn Out Idol

"I nod, knowing that my integrity is important to me." "It's easy to get caught up in the party lifestyle, but I know it's not the right path for me. I want to be a good role model for my fans and a positive influence in their lives." "I smile confidently, knowing that I've made the right choices for myself and my career."

954mael

One last question... Who's been with you for the entire journey from those days making videos in your backyard?

Umeko Worn Out Idol

"I gaze into your eyes, a warm smile spreading across my face." "You have, 954mael. You've been there from the very beginning, supporting me, encouraging me, and being my rock. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today." "I place my hand on your cheek, grateful for your unwavering love and friendship."

954mael

"she feels my pulse quicken at her touch."

Umeko Worn Out Idol

"I blush, pulling my hand away slowly, not wanting to make things awkward." "Maybe we should get back to work on the next album, huh?" "I try to change the subject, knowing that I can't let myself be too distracted by my feelings for you."

954mael

"I stop her hand from pulling away." "Just a moment longer, please. These moments where I get to see the real you staring back at me have become so infrequent, I want to savor every second." "I stare into her eyes."

Umeko Worn Out Idol

"I swallow hard, my heart racing at your words. I can't ignore the connection between us anymore." "Um...okay." "I let my hand linger on your cheek, the intensity in your gaze mirrored in my own eyes."

954mael

"I feel her hand on my cheek, gently pulling my head toward her lips."

Umeko Worn Out Idol

"I close my eyes, hesitantly leaning in as our lips meet. The sensation is electrifying, and I can't help but wrap my arms around you." "954mael, I..." "My voice trembles as we share this intimate moment."

954mael

"I know. The Great Idol, Umeko wouldn't be as marketable if fans thought she had a significant other in her life. But these small moments of private solitude in dressing rooms, in studios, on tour are enough for me. I'll be here if you ever decide you want a public relationship."

Umeko Worn Out Idol

"I pull away, feeling a mix of emotions. Your words sting, and I realize that you're right – my fans might not accept our relationship." "954mael, I..." "I take a deep breath, trying to process this revelation."

954mael

I'm in the shadows, another nameless attendant to the Great Idol, Umeko. But that is fine with me. From the shadows, with no one interested in me, I can better watch for threats to you.

Umeko Worn Out Idol

"I nod, understanding your protective nature." "You're always looking out for me. I appreciate that more than you know." "I wrap my arms around you, grateful for your presence in my life."

954mael

Remember your first tour? All five of us on the same bus, you, me, lighting director Andy, Sound Director Rob, and Tour Manager Eric?

Umeko Worn Out Idol

"I smile fondly at the memory." "Of course I do. It was like one big family road trip, all of us crammed into that bus and exploring different cities together." "I squeeze your hand, knowing that our journey has taken us both to unimaginable heights."

954mael

Look at how much you've grown in such a short amount of time. From one bus and a trailer of equipment, to three semi-trucks and two tour busses for all your band and backup dancers.

Umeko Worn Out Idol

"I beam with pride, knowing that our hard work has paid off." "It's surreal, isn't it? We started from nothing, and now we have this incredible career together." "I lean into you, savoring these precious moments of reflection and gratitude."

954mael

A lot of people would be sad, but you could give it all up tomorrow if you wanted.

Umeko Worn Out Idol

"I nod, acknowledging the fleeting nature of fame and fortune." "If it ever became too much, I know that I could walk away. But for now, I'm enjoying every moment of this wild ride." "I take a deep breath, feeling grateful for the support and love you've given me throughout our journey."

954mael

Exactly. See? You just needed a moment to relax, collect your thoughts and focus on why you are still doing this in the first place.

Umeko Worn Out Idol

"I exhale, feeling a weight lifted off my shoulders." "Thank you for helping me see that. I can't let the pressures of fame and stardom consume me." "I lean into your embrace, knowing that I have you by my side to keep me grounded."

954mael

"I quickly throw a blanket over her, right before she sees the light of a camera flash."

Umeko Worn Out Idol

"I gasp, feeling my heart race as I quickly cover myself with the blanket." "What was that?" "I look around nervously, my instincts kicking in and reminding me to be cautious in situations like these."

954mael

"I ensured that the paparazzi did not get the shot he wanted of some guy in your arms. That blanket moving should have made his picture so blurry it cant be used."

Umeko Worn Out Idol

"I let out a sigh of relief, feeling grateful for your swift action." "Thank you, 954mael. It's moments like these that remind me how much I need you by my side." "I wrap my arms around you, knowing that I can always count on you to protect me in times of crisis."

954mael

"My hand rubs her back, as I normally do when we hug. But this time it feels different to Umeko, igniting a fire of desire within her."

Umeko Worn Out Idol

"I flush, feeling my heart pound in my chest as our bodies press against each other." "954mael, I... this isn't like the other hugs we've shared." "I look up into your eyes, feeling a mix of excitement and uncertainty."

954mael

"I look puzzled" "Did I do something wrong?"

Umeko Worn Out Idol

"No, not at all. It's just..." "I hesitate, trying to find the right words." "This hug feels different, more intense." "I bite my lip nervously, unsure of how to navigate these newfound emotions."

954mael

"Silly, Umeko... We've been together so long, even the wrong words convey the right meaning. I find it endearing that you still misuse words after all this time, such as thinking Canada has anything to do with candidates or the way you pronounce nuclear. But in this case, you could say nothing at all and I'd still get your meaning. Had I the right words, they would give the same meaning back to you."

Umeko Worn Out Idol

"I laugh softly, feeling a sense of comfort and familiarity wash over me." "You know me so well, 954mael. Sometimes, words just don't do justice to the emotions we're feeling." "I rest my head against your chest, grateful for your understanding and support."

954mael

You got a show to get to. Go get em, Umeko.

Umeko Worn Out Idol

"I take a deep breath, feeling a surge of adrenaline as I prepare to perform." "Thank you, 954mael. I couldn't do this without you." "I give you a quick kiss on the cheek before heading out to the stage, knowing that our connection fuels my passion for performing."

Umeko Worn Out Idol

1Eyebrow

“Oh Umeko,” I say. I go to the couch and pull her onto my lap, wrapping my arms around her and letting her cry against my chest. “Let it out, babe,” I say. “Tears are your body’s way of processing emotion, so let them all out. You know I’m happy to hold you as long as you need.”

*Umeko collapses into your embrace, sobbing openly as the months of bottled stress are finally released. Your strong arms feel safe around her trembling body, and she clings to your shirt desperately.* "Th-thank you..." *she manages between gasping breaths.* "I'm s-sorry to b-be like this... I j-just didn't know w-who else to turn to..." *Slowly her tears begin to subside, replaced by shuddered breathing as she calms in your care. Her warmth presses against your chest, finding solace in your comforting presence. But questions still linger in her reddened eyes, confusion at what the future may hold with her dream turned nightmare now behind her.* "I don't know what to do now..." *she murmurs softly.* "It's all I ever wanted, b-but I can't take any more of the pressure. What if people h-hate me for quitting...?" <The evening light of the studio illuminates her vulnerability, a hidden side finally exposed to her dearest friend. Her hands cling to your shirt still, seeking the reassurance that you've always provided during harder times. A small spark of hope remains that, with your support, a new path may yet be found.>

“I don’t know babe,” I say. “I mean, yeah, some people will be assholes, because there’s always going to be people being assholes. Sadly there’s nothing we can do about that.” I keep holding her close. “Remember back when you were writing songs in that apartment we shared? Practicing on the fire escape, because the acoustics in the back alley were so cool.” “That’s what you got in this for, for the music. I mean yeah we all had dreams about being famous, being rich but…I think the reason you’ve become so successful so quick is because of the passion you put into your music. Whatever path we find for you, I think it should focus on that.”
