JSR - Noodle Bar Recording

Keiwa: "I know, it's just....*sigh*" *Food noises*
Miyako: "Ugh..."
Keiwa: "Oh....is everything ok? Can I help you, Miss?"
Miyako: "I dunno, do you have a time machine?"
Keiwa: "Uh, no, sorry. But maybe you can tell me what's happening, I'm sure there's something I can do to help."
Miyako: "Hgh...It's just... everything. Beat Riders, monsters, my unit breaking up... happiness feels so far away now..."
Keiwa: "Wow, really? That's... Wait, what do you mean, Unit?"
Miyako: "I'm... was, I guess, an idol. I was in AOH-1, for a while, but they reorganized a bunch of us, and I guess I didn't make the cut..."
Keiwa: "Oh, I see, ah... I....I don't know what that is."
Woman: "Keiwa, AOH-1 is one of the major Idol Super-groups in the city!"
Keiwa: "Ah, Like as in, that streaming you watch?"
Woman: "....No?"
Miyako: "...yeah, that AOH-1. For a while, I actually believed in that whole idol army fighting for everyone's smiles thing." She shakes her head. "It's just not safe for dreams like that any more in this city. Happiness and peace, really...? More likely you'll just get chased off stage by some Nebula Gas-huffing Beat Rider..."
Keiwa: "H-hey!" *Chair scraping noise* "Y-you can't just give up on happiness and peace!! It's an important part of our lives! Of the planet!"
Miyako: "Really? Nobody came to protect us when we needed it most, and now those thugs are acting like they're the real heroes...*sob* I hate this..."
Keiwa: "Ah...Y-you mean those dancing guys, who think they're Kamen Riders? They're upsetting you?"
Woman: "Keiwa, didn't you hear about the concert were that singer died?"
Keiwa: "Ah...Vaguely."
Miyako: "...yeah. *sniff* It's just not right..."
Keiwa: "Ah...I-It's going to be ok! It might be tough at times, but....people are trying to save the world! It's just, ah, hard sometimes. But they'll try harder!" *sound of plate being put down* "I know, I'll get this for you. I don't think idols are exactly rich."
Woman: "Keiwa, you have to budget your food, remember?"
Keiwa: "Ah, but Sara, this is something I can do for her!"
Miyako: "Nah, it's... it's okay. I... I have an allowance..." *Rustling near microphone*
Keiwa: "Ah, s-sorry, I didn't mean to intrude in your affairs! I just thought I should protect someone's smile, b-but if you're alright, I can leave!"
Miyako: "W-were you peeking inside my purse?!"
Keiwa: "Uwa! I-I-" He takes a step back.
Sara: "Keiwa!! This is how it always is with you, trying too hard to help people and becoming a nuisance! Apologise to the lady!"
Keiwa: "I'm sorry!! I'll go immediately! I need to apply for more jobs anyway!"
Miyako: "I... I must look terrible right now..." *Rustle of money, and a bag clasp* "I-I, sorry... you wouldn't do something like that. It's been so tough lately..."
Keiwa: "Ah....Oh, you're too kind. But really Miss, I am genuine, I do want to see everyone smile. I know that the world gets depressing sometimes, and you wish you could just smash it up and put it back together...I've tried my best every day to be a saviour of the world, in the little ways I can. So, if there's something that'd cheer you, I'd like to help that happen. A-after your soba, of course."
Miyako: "Ngh..." Eating noises, awkward pause*
Sara: "I'm sorry ma'am. He's had a rough day, and putting himself in an awkward situation to help others is how he deals wit-"
Man: "Keiwa! Are you finally getting around to having women troubles? Good for you!" *Camera click*
Miyako: "No photos! You have to pay for those! I must look terrible..."
Man: "That's a pretty selfish attitude. You're part of the world, and the photographer's job is to 'capture the world', no?"
Keiwa: "....Tsukasa, what are you doing out this far? Aren't you busy? Don't you have-"
Tsukasa: "I am busy. I'm picking up colleagues all over." *Finger snap* "But I can't just bump into my old friends and not say hello. Though, I figured you'd have moved out of places like this by now."
Sara:"Don't talk us up so much, Tsukasa. We don't all have a jetset life."
Older man: "Sir, a little heartwarming scene is not a luxury we can afford. Can't you leave this?"
Tsukasa: "Keiwa, you can see how demanding the world is..."
Keiwa: "But even so...It was nice to see you out and about. It shows there's hope for all of us."
Miyako: "S-sorry... it's just, I'm used to having to charge for photos and autographs. We have to pay for outfits out of our own pay, so it'd be really bad if we just let people take candid photos of us whenever they want..."
Tsukasa: "Music industry? It's a dirty old thing, a necessity turned into a commodity. Hopefully in the near future, people will just be able to make music whenever. Shino-chan, if you're so insistent, we'll go."
Miyako: "Um...Are you a Kamen Rider? S-sorry, I just... since Keiwa-san said about Beat Riders thinking they're Kamen Riders, I thought maybe he knew a real one, like CEO Hiden..."
*Odd static on the recording*
Tsukasa: "No no, I'm no such thing. Aren't Kamen Riders just an urban legend anyway? I'm just a passing through photographer...Remember that."
*More static*
*Eating noises continue in silence for atime
Keiwa: "Ah, sorry, I got distracted seeing my friend... Will you be ok?"
Miyako: "...yeah. I mean... no, not really, but... maybe things are going to come through?"
