Miyuki (finally) meets Suzuko!
Miyuki glanced at what Suzuko was looking at, and desperately tried to cover it up. “Um, uhh…! The measurement was…Uhh…Off that day!” she said, making something up on the spot, then sighed and gave in. She was a terrible liar. “Okay, I’m 181cm…I just don’t like being so close to 6 feet tall.” She shuddered. “I mean…That’s kind of freak-ish for a girl, isn’t it? Not to mention that Akibastar, being Japanese and all…Well, the average height in my class for girls was around 155-160cm.”She frowned. “Come to think of it, the average height for the boys was only around 165-170 too…” She blinked and shook her head as she tried to wipe the memories of being half a head taller than almost everyone in her class. “Not to mention that my physician said I might still be growing.” Her face looked pained for a second, as though she was imagining what it would be like if she grew even more.
‘There must be a height limit or something for an idol, right?' she thought miserably to herself. 'I mean, there’s a limit to how cute someone can be when they’re a head taller than you.’
Suzuko listened quietly to Miyuki. When Miyuki began to look pained Suzuko felt worried. Miyuki always seemed to be cheerful.
Makoto had body issues…but Miyuki’s seemed to be rooted in some painful memories, not just self doubt.“How ever tall you are, Miyuki-san, ” She replied firmly. “There is no reason to feel ashamed of who you are." And Suzuko meant it. "Everybody has it’s own appeal.”
AKB0048 was full of different girls who were all unique, and Miyuki was one of them. Who knew, perhaps one day she would inspire girls who were too tall to feel happy with their heights.
Right now she doubted Miyuki would belive her if she told her, but she really did believe in that.
“Of-of course…” Miyuki replied, yet still wondering if Suzuko truly understood her. Suzuko was the ideal height for an idol - not too tall, not too short, cute, had breasts that actually created some sort of cleavage, and had a unique personality that any fan would recognise immediately. What did Miyuki have…? The only thing she’d be picked out for would be her height.
But she was an optimist. And optimists didn’t spend time thinking about depressing things like that. If her friend told her it was alright, it would be alright. And besides, if the upbeat, cheerful and always energetic member of the 78th generation appeared depressed, what kind of impression would that give to others?
She relaxed a bit, and smiled at Suzuko, her true, slightly cheeky grin coming through instead of a forced one. “Thanks, Suzuko. This height thing’s really bugged me a lot my entire life, but I feel like that with 0048, I might just be able to fit in. After all, we’re all rather unique.” She laughed as she said that - it was true that they had some rather…special characters, to say the least.
