Read Astra's DM[]

Is it... a song title?
Is it... a movie title?
I'm not sure either. I was chatting with my mom just now, and she said, "Actually, I've been on TV too." My curiosity was instantly piqued!

I think I remember now!
Ah, it's neither a song nor a movie!

Let me look for it.
I've seen the videotape of this show.
Could you please help me find it? Or I can do it myself. I just really want to see what my mom looked like back then.

In the time it took us to chat...
I found it!
Talk to Astra about the videotape[]
- (Idle)
- Astra Yao: Did you really find it?
- (Talk to Astra)
- Astra Yao: You really found it? I've been searching for years. I've looked through tons of stuff online, but I still couldn't find anything. I really have to rely on you guys.
It's this videotape.
- Astra Yao: Now, we'll just have to find scenes of Mom in it. I wonder which season she was in...
This show has so many seasons...
- Astra Yao: I see... Do you have a video recorder I could borrow? I can use it to fast-forward everything and snap some photos for my mom when I find the right scenes.
I'll help you. I'm a little curious myself.
- Astra Yao: Sure! More eyes will make it faster! I have my mom's eyes, so she's super easy to spot!
- You and Astra start watching the variety show, "Upon a Wishing Star". After fast-forwarding through the first two hours, a black-haired woman and a little girl appear on the screen...
The following is recorded in the Partner Archive
"An Idol's Idol"
Story Description: You watch "Upon a Wishing Star" with Astra Yao and you see a familiar, unexpected individual...
- Astra Yao: Look, it's Mom! I recognized her immediately! She's so young~ What do you think? She looks like me, right?
Who's the little girl that she's leading by the hand?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): It looks like she brought a little girl along to be on the show. But who is she?
- Astra Yao: Huh... I don't recognize her either. She's so young... Wait, wait, hold up. What am I saying? That's me!
- Astra Yao: Ah, I remember now. My Mom did take me to be part of a show when I was little. I had no idea what it was for at the time, which is why I nearly forgot about it.
- Astra Yao: Haha. Here I am being nosey about my Mom's past and yet I end up uncovering my own!
- Just then, the host's voice announces from the TV: "What a pretty little girl! What's your name? How old are you?"
- "My name is Astra Yao and I'm six years old." Says the child without any trace of stage fright.
- "So tell me, what do you want to be when you grow up?" And just as little Astra was about to answer, grown-up Astra presses the pause button.
- Astra Yao: Hold on, take a guess! What do you think I wanted to be when I was younger? Really, just take a guess, and don't hold back! I bet even Eve would be surprised by the answer.
A singer?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): When you were little, you dreamed about being a... (singer?singer? /
singer!singer!) - Astra Yao: Wrong. The way I asked should have already made it obvious that the answer isn't something like a singer or an actor.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): When you were little, you dreamed about being a... (singer?singer? /
Definitely not a singer
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): When you put it like that, then we can rule out becoming a singer... A scientist? Pilot? An astronaut?
- Astra Yao: I like your train of thought, but unfortunately, none of those are the right answer! Maybe... those are what you wanted to be when you were little?
A princess!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Then I'll take a bold guess! A princess! It's only natural for a little girl to want to be a princess, right?Then I'll take a bold guess! A princess! It's only natural for a little girl to want to be a princess, right? /
A princess!A princess!) - Astra Yao: Hmm... Although that's not the answer I gave back then, it's not a bad guess. That was little Astra's second career choice! Wait, being a princess isn't really a job.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Then I'll take a bold guess! A princess! It's only natural for a little girl to want to be a princess, right?Then I'll take a bold guess! A princess! It's only natural for a little girl to want to be a princess, right? /
- Astra Yao: Alright. I've kept you guessing long enough. Time to reveal the answer!
- And with that, Astra presses PLAY, and, waving her mother's hand, the little girl onscreen exclaims for all to hear—
- "I wanna be... the manager of an antique store!"
Huh?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Huh? An antique store manager?
Somehow... I guess that makes sense!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Somehow... (I can see how that makes sense!I can see how that makes sense! /
I guess that makes sense!I guess that makes sense!)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Somehow... (I can see how that makes sense!I can see how that makes sense! /
- Astra Yao: I've always liked sparkly, shiny things ever since I was little. Y'know, stuff you'd usually find in antique stores, like hairpins, brooches, glass marbles, and whatnot. So back then I really admired antique store managers.
- Astra Yao: Speaking of which, (WiseWise /
BelleBelle), you're a store manager. So... - Astra Yao: You're someone that little Astra would have idolized~
Think it's too late for me to become the manager of an antique store?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Think it's too late for me to open an antique store?
- Astra Yao: Of course it's too late... Because I'm going to open one myself! One of my life goals is to "open a sparkly, shiny collectibles shop."
Just little Astra?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Just... little Astra?
- Astra Yao: After I grew up, I realized that I could just buy all of the shiny things I wanted without being the manager of a store. However, I've always fantasized about opening my own shiny, sparkly collectibles shop. And this dream has never faded away.
- Astra Yao: Alright, I've finished the part where Mom and I make our entrance.
- Astra Yao: Videotapes are really quite the invention. They can clearly capture memories that I've almost completely forgotten.
They are great for making memories last
Does this count as your debut performance?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (They areThey are /
They'reThey're) great for making memories last. So, I suppose this counts as... your debut performance, right? - Astra Yao: That's right. If it weren't for your help, I'd probably have searched for "Upon a Wishing Star" without finding anything, simply chalking it up to something Mom had just imagined...
- Astra Yao: Well, I should bring the videotape back to show Mom. Let me treat you to a nice meal next time as a thank-you!
- (Astra Yao can now promote the video store)
- (Idle)
- Astra Yao: Mom would definitely be happy, right...
- (Talk to Astra again, optional)
- Astra Yao: I can't wait to show Mom this! I bet she'll be so happy.
- Astra Yao: But I get she'll tease me about my declaration of wanting to be an antique store owner.
