Grounded Catgirl

[Instead of the usual obvious selfie video, the video seems to have a perspective from a position on a dresser covered with makeup supplies. It provides a view of an extremely pink and girly room behind Mina.]

...I got grounded. For messing up my dad's golf club and for 'putting myself in danger'. They took away my phone, too, so I had to write my number on a mirror. Someone talk to me. I'm bored.

...you got yourself grounded. How sad.

[dictator_ko]

I know! It's really sad! I shouldn't be grounded!

[mangata]

Not up to you though, is it?

[dictator_ko]

It should be! They should've at least listened to me!

[mangata]

...I'd make a comment about parents, but all I have are memories of two other people's parents. It's hard to make a connection.

[dictator_ko]

That must be weird. [She hadn't really seriously considered what it's like to be one of those doppelgangers. It's kinda unsettling to think about.]

[mangata]

It is. It... makes me feel like I'm not a person sometimes - but, ah, I shouldn't make this all about me. I also do not have to worry about being grounded.

[dictator_ko]

You're so a person! ...I don't like being grounded, but I still wouldn't want to have no parents. [Now she's in a melancholy mood.]

[mangata]

Academically, I am aware of what I am... but that does not always work. And, I suppose, being grounded means your parents care about your wellbeing.

[dictator_ko]

Well, just remember I know you're a real person. And I wish my parents wouldn't worry so much.

[mangata]

I... I will remember that, when I feel... less so, thank you.

[ Is that friendship? ]

For how long are you grounded?

[dictator_ko]

Until they decide I'm ungrounded.

[mangata]

That is perhaps the worst case scenario.

[dictator_ko]

I know, right? It's just terrible!
