[When the Warp Band feed first clicks on, it shows the wall of a girl's bedroom, several posters of famous Pokemon coordinators hung up. But once the sound kicks in, it seems there's a bit of an argument happening.]

N-no...! I'm not ready!

Gardevoir!

I-if I can just have another minute or-

GARDEVOIR.

[And then Hanayo is pushed into the frame by a blue hand. Sutra the Gardevoir has had enough of this camera shyness. Her trainer is making changes in her life, and she wants her to show them off.]

A-ah! H-Hello, everyone... this is Hanayo Koizumi of μ's. I-I'm trying a new look for on stage.

[It certainly is new. Anyone who knows Hanayo will immediately notice that she isn't wearing her glasses as she addresses the camera. And on top of that, she doesn't seem to be squinting or showing any other obvious signs of having difficulty seeing. And although she's embarrassed as anything and still feeling shy, she does briefly attempt a cute pose, raising a hand and extending her index finger to point at her right eye while winking with the left.]

P-please continue to support us! Thank you very much!

[It quickly collapses into a polite bow that is much more characteristic of her usual manner before she takes a deep breath and reaches out to turn off the feed. She'll reply once she's calmed down.]

Hey, lookin' good, Hanayo! And your pokemon knows it too.

Thank you, Nico.

Gar.

[Hanayo giggles a little at that.]

And you too, Sutra!

[AKA the oddly Nico-like shiny Gardevoir responsible for this.]

So... no more glasses? Your eyesight get any better?

[Well no wonder Sutra has such good ideas then]

No, it's the same... I just met someone recently who's been working on a new invention, and I'm testing it for her.

[Hanayo leans in close and points at her eye, opening it up wide.]

It's a soft lens that fits in your eye. You can see it if you look close.

[Which makes Nico lean back a bit but okay]

R, really?

[Okay fine she'll take a closer look and... yeah, she sort of sees it?]

Oh, wow... that's really neat! So you don't have to wear glasses anymore?

Not as long as I'm wearing these. Lucca said the lenses are curved the same way as my glasses, so they correct my vision the same way. I can't leave them in all the time, so I still have my glasses for those times, but these should at least be good enough to wear on stage.
