"¡Hola, Sr. Kirito! I absolutely love your new book! Will you sign my copy for me, ¿por favor?"

"Of course, child. Now, ¿cómo te llamas?"

"¡Marisol! M-A-R-I-S-O-L."

"Tu nombre es bonito, pero eres más bonita. Here you are."

"Thank you so much!"

"No problem. Hey, Susy, I need a break."

"All right. Attention, book fans! Kenji Kirito will be taking a short break now. If you want to leave and come back, please return in fifteen minutes."

"I love seeing my fans, but it's so exhausting."

"Only one month—"

Riiiiiiiiiing. Riiiiiiiiiing. Ri—

"Excuse me, Susy. Ken on the line."

"Ken? It's Beth."

"Hey, Beth. What's u—"

"Please! I need help!"

"Beth, I'm going to text you Doc's number, and you call him and tell him what's going on after we calm her down."

"Okay. Okay. Ken, what's going on?"

"Let's not worry about that now. Put me on speaker and try to comfort her. Whispered reassurance and soothing gestures work best."

"Okay. Okay. Erunai? It's fine. You're fine."

"Shh, Eru. Shh, baby, don't cry. Please don't cry. You're okay. You're safe."

"Erunai, please calm down."

"Help! Someone, please!"

"Beth, try to get her to bed."

"Help! Helphelphelphelp shaking falling breakingshakingdyinghelpsomeonehelpme please please, please, please! Please!"

"Shh, Eru."

"Come on, Erunai. Please calm down."

"Don't cry, baby. Let Beth help you to bed, yeah? Let's sleep, baby. You're okay. You're safe. Please don't cry, Eru. Shh, baby, you're okay."

"Please. Please."

"I'll sing for you, yeah? Eru, baby—"

"Ken, break's over. It's time to get back to the signing."

"I heard that, Ken. I think—I think I can handle this. Just—I'll call you if it gets worse."

"No! I can't leave her like that!"

"Help me!"

"Ken, no, no, no. You're all the way in Spain. There's not much you can do."

"I'm coming home right now."

"Ken, your fans are waiting!"

"Just leave me be, Susy. Eru needs me right now."

"Ken, no. I—I'll get Erunai to calm down, I promise. And if you come home now, you know she'll be disappointed."

"Does it sound like I care?"

"Someone, please!"

"Ken. She'll be okay. Right? Right. I have whoever's number this is."

"Just—I can't leave her."

"You're not. She's just—You're not, Ken."

"…Stay with her until she falls asleep, yeah?"

"Of course. Yeah. Of course."

"Let her know I love her."

"Everything's falling, shaking, breakinghelpmeplease!"

"She loves you, too. She's—She'll be okay."

"Call me if she doesn't calm down?"

"Yeah. Of course."

"Ken, get back over here!"

"Tell her I'm sorry."

"Goodbye, Ken. She'll be okay. Right? Of course."

"I need help! Please! Pl—"

Click.

"¡Sr. Kirito! Kenji! Kenji Kirito! We all love you!"
