[ Of all the tiny hole-in-the-wall places Saitou could have picked out for her, Ai could have ended up somewhere worse than Inaba... probably. The hospital had been a dour sort of place, but it'd been quiet and she'd been left alone and on the nights she managed to sneak up to the roof, the stars had been more lovely and vivid than anything she'd seen in Tokyo. And the little apartment she, Aqua and Ruby had been squirrelled away into until they could return to Tokyo for real... well, she's lived in worse places. So long as there's a roof over her head and everything works as it should, Ai's learned not to be picky.

Not being picky doesn't mean she can entirely forego standards, though. She has Saitou's credit card and a very strict warning not to go too wild with it, but she's found herself drifting over to the electronics even so. She might be on hiatus right now, but it's only right that an idol should keep up with what's going on in the entertainment world, right?

Which means she's just in time for Akechi's grand entrance and his not-so-grand excuse. Ai blinks at him, then casually pops off her shades just so the total lack of conviction on her face is nice and visible.

If you're going to lie to me, have something better prepared in advance. 'Magic trick' isn't going to stand up to follow up questions at all.
