A miserable looking girl, with puffy, red eyes is sitting on the couch in the communal area, huddled under a warm blanket. She is dressed in her pj's and on her lap is a large tub of chocolate icecream.
The final piece of evidence is the movie playing on the big-screen tv: 'The Fabulous Destiny of Asahina Amiko'.
Uh-oh.

The twins were passing by and saw the girl. Koko pulled Kiki so they could help a lost soul. "Konbanwa... Crane sama..." the two girls got in. "Lollipop?" Koko offered.

As Ryoko went through the communal area her 'radar' went off. Girl dressed in pjs with red eyes huddled under a blanket with a tub of ice cream and a romantic movie on? She'd seen it with her older sisters!
Almost immediately Reiha would feel the couch sink nearby, the small Phoenix girl from her enigmas and drama classes getting as close as decorum permits. She smiled sadly to Koko and Kiki to acknowledge them as well, then opted to remain silent until addressed, not wanting to interrupt any of the three girls.

The twins were passing by and saw the girl. Koko pulled Kiki so they could help a lost soul. "Konbanwa... Crane sama..." the two girls got in. "Lollipop?" Koko offered. Reiha shakes her head and holds up the ice cream. Who cares that everyone knows she's a fox? Or that foxes really sound likes a baby slowly getting tortured to death? "Yip! Gek gek gek yip gek!" Which translates into Fox as: "No, icecream's better. Chocolate. Want some?" As Ryoko went through the communal area her 'radar' went off. Girl dressed in pjs with red eyes huddled under a blanket with a tub of ice cream and a romantic movie on? She'd seen it with her older sisters!

She smiled sadly to Koko and Kiki to acknowledge them as well, then opted to remain silent until addressed, not wanting to interrupt any of the three girls. "Hey... Ever seen this movie? It's really good..." The Doji girl sounds absolutely miserable. "It's a feel-good movie.", she adds. "Want some chocolate icecream? I can't all of it on my own anyway..."

"You can use it as a scoop... Makes it minty..." Not to be disrespectful to the Asako. "Besides..." She looked at the screen "It isn't that good of a movie... We wonder if you mind us sitting down..."

Ryoko listened to the conversation between the two three girls and blinked, but then just offered a smile before getting up and going to get a spoon. She sat back down and offered a wink to the three of them before sticking her spoon into the ice cream tub.
"Isn't it said that not finding contentment is the greatest disaster?" came her reply about the ice cream, it clear she would like some with the offer given and actions taken. As for the movie, a much simpler answer, "And what's the movie about?"

Reiha nods at the twins. "Please, sit. And no, thank you, I already had enough. I promised Okaa-sama never to binge-eat again, and well..." She shrugs and sighs, looking at the ice cream longingly, but passes the bucket to the Asako girl.
"Well, Asahina Amiko is obviously about a girl called Amiko. Her childhood was messed up by her Father's mistaken concerns of a heart defect. So she gets hardly any real life contact with other people. So, Amiko constructs her own fantastical world and dreams of love and beauty. When she becomes a young woman her Mother dies in a weird accident and she moves to the central part of Toshi Ranbo. Her family is poor and she ends up working security in a tea house.
After finding a lost treasure belonging to the former occupant of her apartment, she decides to return it to him. After seeing his reaction and his new found perspective, she decides to devote her life to helping the people around her. Such as, her father who is obsessed with his bonsai tree, a failed writer, a hypochondriac, a man who stalks his ex girlfriends, the "ghost", a suppressed young soul, the love of her life and a man whose bones are as brittle as glass. But after almost losing herself with these escapades she finds out that she is forgetting about her own life and her quest for love. Amiko then discovers she must take a hold of her own life and capture the beauty of love she has always dreamed of!"
She shrugs and sighs again, shifting her position and hugging her knees.
"What can I say, I've seen it like a thousand times. It is really funny and has never failed to make me feel better. But it's not working yet..."

Koko sat down with Kiki on her side. "We aren't that big on movies... Kiki cannot read the subtitles fast enough. Sometimes it is better to talk it out. You know..." Koko smiled as she licked her lolly. Kiki took her lolly from her sleeve and took a bit of the ice cream.

She shrugs.
"There is nothing to talk about." Reiha tears up, but contrary to her previous statement she continues, at first hesistant, but then the words come tumbling out. "I thought she meant... I really did, so I told her how I felt, you know? I messed up! I shouldn't have done that! How can I face her now? I can't even go to my room! Her scent is all over it!" There's a sob, and a pained look to Ryoko. "I'm a kitsune, great sense of smell.", she explains. "And she smells sooo good you just can't help falling in love with her."
Another sob wracks the girl.
"Okaa-sama will kill me if she finds out. I'm getting married. That's what we foxes do. Okaa-sama is traditional like that. I can't like women!" There's a rather canine whine. "And now she hates me, I'm sure!"

As the girls converse, Aiko makes her way into the room, carrying a couple volumes of manga and a pot of tea and some mugs. She pauses as she hears Reiha's little confession. The Mirumoto makes her way to the girl, and 'accidentally' drops one of her manga into the Doji's lap.
"Ah. Gomen-ne, Doji-san."
