"Won't you please buy my album?" This was how the director wanted to end the TV spot, with one final close-up of Erika's face as she said these words, wanting a reaction of innocence and sweetness from her. Erika was able to pull it off quite nicely, in sharp contrast to her sadistic nature earlier in the night. "Cut! That's a wrap! Thank you, Erika, for your time." Erika again tried to keep humble. "I'm glad that you liked it." She noticed near the end of filming that a familiar certain someone had shown up, standing just out of the filming area, his tall figure instantly recognizable. Erika tried to contain her excitement as she walked towards him, embracing him as soon as she could, when she was out of view of the film crew. "I missed you, Takashi. I've been waiting for you to see me again."
Erika genuinely did love this man, although she of course never told him about her Verde deck or that she was the one behind the idol disappearances. It was just that something about him made Erika act somewhat normal again, before she went down her insane path and constant ego boosting.
Releasing her embrace, Erika noticed that he was holding something. "Is that for me, dear?" Erika's thoughts wandered a little. Oh, my beloved Takashi...once my dream is realized, I'll include you in the wish. You'll be my Izanagi to my Izanami*... Takashi's presence could only do so much, however...
(*Izanagi and Izanami- The creators of Japan in Japanese mythology who also gave birth to the other Japanese deities. Yeah, Erika is that stuck up...)
