[r8] talking head: du ruo

[loveauthority]

[ Du Ruo is led to a quiet room within the resort with a pair of hammocks to suit the scene, and upon one of them is where the overseer sits. She beams, shuffling her cards in hand (she will not use these), and motions for Du Ruo to take a seat already!!!

This is the Talking Heads room, and there are cameras. Prepare to loosen those lips! ]

[Surely it's not a bad sign for Du Ruo's prospects if she's sitting here taking over the interview like she's the one in charge of hosting the show, right? It's just that she's indulging her intellectual curiosity...of course.]

You sound a little sadistic. I can't say I wouldn't feel the same way in your position.

[She chuckles, a soft and mysterious noise.]

Since I'm on the other side of it, I do admit to finding it vexing. How is it that you tout the outcome of this show, when some could point out that the results seem like pure coincidence?

The moment that changes someone's feelings can't be predict. That's all!

[ that's just it. the matchmakers can try all they want to guess, but it's the moments that make the difference. the same moments that turn them out "right" could be missed and turn out "wrong". ]

Oh, but there were people who were both matches and head over heels for each other in my round, at least. So the success rate isn't too bad! Like... three out of our five couples were? I would say six, but one of them doesn't count in this case.

[ sorry minami she loves u tho ]

[Fortunately for poor Minami, Du Ruo will be accounting for him and his match in her calculations, if only because it allows her to ask the following question:]

Tossing a coin a few times could yield the same results. Knowing the outcome of that flip, would it change your feelings and actions and contrive those "moments"?

[She hums. Her voice never stops being melodic and calm.] I look forward to seeing them as they occur.
