Mm, yes, that's her. [they say it while hastily swallowing a mouthful of slightly cooler noodles.] And the wolf and Toraguma are about as good friends as anyone with money and anyone with power are, I'm sure.

[what they do not say is quite how good a friendship they think that is, but they're not sure they have to.]

I think she was taken just because she's a high-profile name who's easier to get to than some others. Maybe she was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I'm not sure—all I know is that when I finished having drinks with her, I walked away wanting to believe in her happiness instead of what her father said would make her happy. [they try not to make that statement quite so pointed, but as with most things about ringo, it's hard not to get a little passionate. so instead, they redirect that energy and try to stay calm about it:] Anyway, are you a musician yourself?
