Hi, I'm Akari Hayaki. I became pregnant at the age of 15 and gave birth at the age of 16. Although some people might think of me for being careless, we did that for a reason, hehe. But the first time I found out I was pregnant, I was happy. I knew the moment I finally got to hold my baby for the first time that she was a blessing to me.
Knowing that my last school was in America, I switched to online education there when I found out I was pregnant before I moved to Japan. After finishing my online lessons, I made the decision to continue my high school studies in Japan as a second-year student. I believe that the new school year will begin around April, which gives me plenty of time to care for Akari until she begins to grow a bit.
My boyfriend went back to America for some 'business' he needed to attend to. But it's also to get on the good side of my father when he found out he got me pregnant.
Ahh, I wonder how he is doing right now, but the reason why I'm staying in Japan was for another reason, it's to find that culprit and to find Ai-
[Breaking news, Aqua Hoshino revealed that he and his twin sister, Ruby Hoshino, are the secret children of the genius idol, Ai-]

"W-Wait, what?"
My jaw literally dropped in disbelief as I dropped my spoon. Until I was able to collect my thoughts, I was unable to move a single muscle.
"So Ai had twins?", I cried with tears of joy. But...
[It's pretty shocking, some fans claim it's because of her having twins, that a late fan of Ai who learned about it killed her.]
My hearing began to go due to shock, and my vision went fuzzy. I began to breathe heavily and my face began to sweat out.
"S-So you're saying, A-Ai, d-died?"
I collapsed to my knees on the floor. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. In shock, I placed my hands on my head.
This is not real, this is not real, this is not real!
I was sobbing uncontrollably from the bottom of my heart while shivering with guilt and fear.
"S-Sorry Ai, I was too late once again. S-Sorry... Sorry!"
When I said "Sorry," I yelled at the top of my lungs. I continued to sob on the floor, wailing uncontrollably. Before I-
"Aqua Hoshino..." I murmured.
I was familiar with Ruby and Aqua. To track down the culprit who was linked to idols and celebrities, I started carrying out research on Japanese celebrities, idols, and other influencers. The well-known twins Aqua and Ruby Hoshino were also among the targets of my investigation. They both began to become famous, but what drew my eye was how much they resembled Ai. I made the decision to watch the music videos of Ruby's idol group and Aqua's drama videos. They won my admiration, and I became a fan.
But I was foolish.
I was so naive that I never considered why they appeared familiar to her. I was stupid, which is why I never asked myself again, "Why do they resemble her?', or... 'Him'.
Wait a minute... 'Him'...? I recall seeing a man that resembled Aqua. Oh wait, Aqua is the one who resembles him the most!
I quickly got to my feet, wiped away my tears, and took Ai up from her crib.
I glanced at Ai as I carried her and said, "Sorry for being so loud, but mommy has to find out who hurt her idol," I smiled and carried Ai to the second floor to my office.
I put Ai in a small baby chair as I walked into my office, sat in my chair, and turned on my computer.
With a look of rage on my face, I uttered, "Now then, let's find out who killed Ai."

/Ai Pov/
Why is Akari, crying so hard?
I then looked at the TV, listening at the news.
[It's pretty shocking, some fans claim it's because of her having twins, that a late fan of Ai who learned about it killed her.]
*Thud*
I turned to face Akari and watched her fall on the ground sobbing and yelling.
I gazed at Akari, confused and sad. But I wondered, why?
Akari suddenly picks me up from my crib and takes me to her second-floor office. I had never gone to her workplace, so I was really interested to see what was there.
As we entered her office, I was really shocked.
Whoa! Super cool! Akari has a ton of drawers and monitors.
I searched the area for details about her past but was unable to find any. I noticed that the labels on the drawers are arranged alphabetically.
A, B, C...? Hmm, I guess Akari is really protective...
Akari then places me in a little baby chair before turning on her computer and starts searching for information about me. I started of having questions if she was a past fan of mine, or...
Have we ever met before?
I started recalling the words Akari said before, 'S-Sorry Ai, I was too late once again. S-Sorry... Sorry!'
Did I do something to her in the past to say such things? Or did something happened to her before?
I kept trying to remember if I had ever met her before or how I might have touched her life to cause her to think such things since I was so confused.
Akari... Who are you?

/Akari Pov/
I turned on my computer and started to search-
"Genius Idol, Ai."
And a ton of news and videos started to appear. There are numerous headlines such as "Young genius idol Ai has captured the hearts of the viewers in her new show," "The top searched idol/celebrity is the young idol, Ai," "Ai from B-Komachi is on hiatus for unknown reasons," and "Ai plays a huge role in the famous reality show by ###."
But what hurt me the most is when I read-
"Ai was murdered on the day before their dome performance...", reading this hurt me so much, I could feel my heart aching.
I then began reading more and more news articles regarding her passing and the people she was connected to. I was so concentrated on searching that I couldn't help but read aloud my ideas and what I'd read.
I took a deep breath and said, "Aqua is trying to find the killer. There are a few people that Ai was associated with, and most of them are people that Aqua has encountered. The director who cast Ai and Aqua for a horror movie, and that director who used to support Ai in the past, is the person who is in a part of that drama series that focuses on promoting new comers.
Ai pov, "(H-Hold up a second! Aqua is looking for the killer?! So that means he trying to get revenge for me!)"
I can confirm that Aqua is looking for the killer, but is Ruby...?
I then looked up recent and old news on Ruby, and a thought came to mind.
When I saw Ruby, it appeared like she was working more harder to get popular than before. "There was a time when I was wondering why Ruby suddenly gained popularity out of nowhere."
I then remembered that they went to a place to shoot for their music video.
What was the name again?" When I suddenly remembered, I gasped and said, "Miyazaki Prefecture! That's where the new B-Komachi filmed their video! In addition, according to Aqua on the news, I believe that's the location where Ai gave birth to her twins!"
Ai sighed and said, "(I guess my whole secret is out. Actually, I don't care about it anymore. But I'm sure there was a reason for it. I'm just sad that both of them aren't living the free life I wanted them to live...)"
"Did Ruby find out who killed Ai? Wait a second, the person who killed Ai committed suicide, and that person was just a regular college student; but it looks like Aqua and Ruby are on a search for someone, but the killer is already dead... So that means it had an accomplice! Someone who knows Ai so well!"
I began to consider who it may be, but I knew it couldn't be the CEO because during Ai's funeral, he appeared to have treated her like family. And because Ai has always had a secretive past, especially when she was on hiatus, her crew members, the other people with whom she was previously associated don't know much about her. No, they were colleagues, but seeing the recordings of their former daily lives, it doesn't seem like they were close.
"Ai is so secretive! So it's definitely no one in their company!" I realized, as goosebumps spread across my body, "So the only person left is...!"
As Ai realizes who it could be, her eyes widen and she exclaims, "(D-Don't tell me it's-!!!)"
I exclaimed "Ai's lover!" and banged my hand on the desk, "B-But why?!"
And I had a memory of something. something crucial. I remembered that before I arrived to Japan, I had done some research on idols and celebrities.
"It's him, it's definitely him!" I searched for his name, saw his photo, and said, "Hikaru Kamiki! I knew something was familiar with his looks! They are almost identical with Aqua's!"
I then started looking up a lot of Hikaru's history stuff and began making connections between earlier incidents. And I couldn't believe what I saw.
I gasped in terror.
"He i-is a serial killer!"
When Ai felt goosebumps, she questioned, "(W-What?!)"
"T-The guy Ai dated is a serial killer! Seeing this murder-suicide case years ago when he joined Lalalie Theatre, h-he impregnated that actress only at 11 years old and made her husband to commit a murder-suicide! All these past events makes sense! I could see the connection with all of them. Most of some deaths were caused by him without killing them with his own hands! Every girl idol and celebrity, including Ai... H-He killed a total of 33 people!"
I started to shake, my thoughts became blank, and my heart began to ache.
Ai! Ai! What happened?! Why did this happen to you!
I started crying, and crying. I was devastated, hurt, and in pain.
"(I... I!!! H-How could I do that! Why?! Why couldn't he just leave me alone! Why?! Aqua! Ruby! W-What if he goes after them!? He knows they are alive!)" Ai cried out in despair as she turned to Akari, asking, "(You... Why?)"
*Cough* *Cough*
*Thuds*
Ai gasps in shock and cries out, "(S-Somebody! H-Help!!!)", "Waaaaaa! Waaaaaa!"
