Frilly Dress Panic Attack

Kotori

Come on, Tomo-chan! One little dress won't kill you!

Tomoko

Everything in here costs more than my family's house! I'm gonna sweat on it and then she'll make me work it off in her sweatshop!

Dora Amethyst

Relax, kid. Cotton blend. Machine washable.

Kotori

Look! Pastel pink with layered chiffon—just like μ's!

Tomoko

I-Idol costume?! You want me—Kuroki Tomoko—to become a beacon of public humiliation?!

Dora Amethyst

Technically it's a 'stage coord,' but sure, let's go with costume.

Kotori

Arms up—there! See? Already 70% cuter!

Tomoko

If I die of embarrassment right here, at least they'll bury me in expensive fabric... Wait, burial costs! Mom'll never afford both!

Dora Amethyst

Breathable lining, anti-wrinkle weave. You could stage-dive into a mosh pit and still look Instagram-ready.

Tomoko

I look like... like those pretty girls I draw getting stepped on... Is this heaven? Or hell?

Kotori

Told you! Everyone has an idol inside!

Dora Amethyst

Bow placement is critical. One millimeter off and the kawaii collapses.

Kotori

Tomo-chan?! Stay with us! Should I call 911?!

Dora Amethyst

Pulse racing, skin clammy—classic acute moe overload. She'll wake up craving melon soda and self-loathing.

Tomoko

Tell my brother... he can have my limited-edition BL games... but burn the browser history...

Tomoko

I-I'm keeping the dress! I'll wear it! But if anyone points a camera at me, I'll bite them!

Kotori

Deal! Group selfie—

Dora Amethyst

Alterations bill goes to your parents. I'll add a 10% 'trauma surcharge.'
