[Akari's Morning Activity] Alice Daily Life Episode: Parting with a Best Friend [AI Image Generation x Creative Writing x Psychology] ChatGPT | Gemini | AI Illustration | Creative Fiction

Wow! Good morning! Today is the morning activity for February 18th.

In yesterday's survey, I received many requests for a 'daily life episode.' Thank you so much!

So today, I'll be delivering an episode of Alice's daily life before the meteor shower.

Alice has purple hair now and possesses superhuman combat abilities due to the parasitic entity, but before the meteor shower, she had silver hair and lived a peaceful daily life.

And she was still with her best friend, Riko...

Alice in a peaceful era, knowing nothing yet. She is still unaware of the turbulent fate that will visit her after this...

I hope you enjoy this daily life story, filled with that bittersweet feeling, until the very end.

Well then, let's start our morning activity together again today!

🎵 Today's Daily SUNO: Silver Serenity

For today's BGM, I created some quiet and gentle music that fits Alice's peaceful daily life before the meteor shower.

It's a soft melody of piano and strings, the kind of song that might play in a quiet library or an afternoon cafe. I tried to express the way Alice's silver hair sways in the wind through music.

If you listen to this BGM while reading, it will resonate even more with your heart.

📖 Creative Story Main Part: 'Silver Daily Life: Record of Lost Peace'

[Chapter 1: Afternoon at the Library]

<February 2030, One Month Before the Meteor Shower Attack>

In a quiet corner of the library, a girl with long silver hair was reading a book.

Alice, 24 years old.

Her silver hair shone softly in the light, and her golden eyes were quietly fixed on the pages of the book.

'Hmm... this record of ancient civilization is interesting.'

Alice was a researcher of history.

She specialized in the linguistics and cultural anthropology of ancient civilizations, and was pursuing the mysteries of lost civilizations.

"This sequence of characters... could it be related to the arrangement of the constellations?"

She takes careful notes in her notebook.

Her research style was always quiet and meticulous.

[Chapter 2: The Appearance of a Best Friend]

"A-chan!!"

Suddenly, a bright voice echoed through the library.

"Sh-quiet... this is a library, you know💦"

When Alice turned around in a panic, a flashy girl with long blonde hair was waving at her.

Riko, 24 years old. Alice's best friend since their university days.

"Ahaha~ sorry, sorry✨ But man, A-chan, you're reading difficult books again~"

Riko sits down next to Alice.

"This is research material."

"Seriously? That looks super hard💦 No way for me~"

Riko peeks into the book and tilts her head.

"Riko, you're a sociology major, so it's a different field, isn't it?"

"I guess so~. Hey, hey, shouldn't we take a lunch break soon?"

"It's not even 12 o'clock yet..."

"It's fine✨ Let's go to a cafe~💕 I heard they have a new parfait~"

"...I suppose I have no choice."

Alice closes her book with a wry smile.

"Yay! A-chan, you'll get tired if you keep reading books all the time!"

"I'm saved because Riko always takes me out."

"Hehe! That's my job, after all!"

The two of them left the library, laughing.

[Chapter 3: The Usual Cafe]

The two headed to their favorite cafe.

"Welcome, Alice, Riko. The usual table?"

"Yes, please."

Sitting at a window seat, Alice orders a hot coffee, and Riko orders the new parfait.

"Wow! It's super cute! Let's take a picture!"

Riko takes a photo of the parfait with her smartphone.

"You never change, do you?"

"Because it's Instagrammable! A-chan, let's take one too!"

"I'm fine, thanks."

"Aw, what a waste. You're so beautiful, A-chan!"

"That's not true."

Alice drinks her coffee, looking embarrassed.

"Oh, that's right! They say we can see a meteor shower next month!"

Riko says happily.

"A meteor shower?"

"Yeah✨ They say it's a once-in-a-century event. I think it'll be super beautiful💕"

"I see..."

"Let's go watch it together, A-chan✨ Do you think we can see it from the roof?"

"I think we can. Let's watch it together."

"Yay~💕 It's a promise then~✨"

Riko smiles happily.

The two of them did not yet know.

That these would be the last days they could spend together...

[Psychology Column 1: The Power of Contrasting Friendships]

Time for a little psychology talk here~✨

The Law of Complementarity is a psychological phenomenon where "people with opposite personalities can build a good relationship by complementing each other"💕

Contrast between Alice and Riko

• Alice: Cool, studious, introverted, serious

• Riko: Cheerful, sociable, extroverted, easy-going

It is precisely because of these opposite personalities that the two were able to become best friends✨

Riko takes Alice out into the world, and Alice becomes Riko's calm confidante.

A relationship where you complement each other is truly wonderful, isn't it😊

Akari's Creative Tip💕 When creating relationships between characters, "opposites" often lead to more interesting developments than "birds of a feather"✨ A relationship where they compensate for each other's flaws stays in the reader's heart, doesn't it💕

[Chapter 4: A Night Walk]

At dusk, Alice and Riko were taking a walk in the park.

"It'll be spring soon, won't it? ✨ The cherry blossom buds are starting to swell."

Riko looks up at the cherry tree.

"I wonder if they'll be in full bloom by next month."

"They'll definitely be beautiful! 💕 Let's go cherry blossom viewing! ✨"

"Yes, that sounds nice."

The two sat on a bench and looked up at the sky.

"Hey, A-chan."

"What is it?"

"We'll be friends forever, right?"

Riko says with a suddenly serious expression.

"Of course. Why bring that up now?"

"Hehe~ ✨ That's right, isn't it? 💕 We'll be together forever from now on, too!"

"Yes, we'll be together forever."

Alice smiles, which is rare for her.

"Promise! ✨"

Riko holds out her pinky finger.

"...We're not children anymore."

"It's fine, isn't it? ✨"

"...I suppose I have no choice."

Alice smiles wryly and hooks her pinky finger with mine.

"Pinky promise, if you break it, you have to swallow a thousand needles~✨"

"You really are like a child."

The two of us laughed together.

But this promise—

was never kept.

[Chapter 5: Night of the Meteor Shower]

<March 15, 2030>

Finally, the day of the meteor shower arrived.

Alice and Riko were watching the meteor shower from the roof of Alice's house.

"Wow~✨ It's so beautiful~💕"

Riko's eyes sparkled.

"It really is... I've never seen such a beautiful meteor shower before."

Alice also looked up at the night sky in silence.

Countless meteors adorned the night sky.

In the city, people were cheering and pointing their cameras upward.

"Hey, let's make a wish~✨"

"A wish?"

"Yeah✨ They say if you make a wish on a shooting star, it comes true💕"

"There's no scientific basis for that... but, I suppose it's fine."

"Well then, I..."

Riko stopped mid-sentence.

"...I hope I can stay friends with A-chan forever✨"

Riko closed her eyes and prayed.

But her expression was—

somewhat lonely.

"...I feel the same way."

Alice smiled faintly.

"Hehe~💕"

Riko laughed, but her smile was a little weaker than usual.

For a while, the two of them looked up at the shooting stars in silence.

"...Hey, A-chan."

"What is it?"

"You know... I..."

Riko started to say something.

"Huh?"

Alice turned around.

"I... actually... I'm sick..."

Riko's voice was trembling.

"Riko? What's wrong?"

...!

Riko looks down.

I didn't hear you clearly. Could you say that again?

Alice peers into Riko's face, looking concerned.

...No, it's nothing✨

Riko looks up and puts on her usual bright smile.

Are you sure? If you have something on your mind, I want you to talk to me about it.

I'm fine, really! It's just... I was thinking about how happy I am to be watching such a beautiful meteor shower with you, Ar-chan💕

I see... well, if you say so.

Alice still looked a bit uneasy, but she didn't press any further.

Let's stay together like this forever, okay?✨

Riko says with a smile.

Yes, that's a promise.

Alice nods.

The two of them quietly looked up at the meteor shower once more.

But—

Riko's eyes were brimming with faint tears.

Alice did not notice.

If only she had heard the rest of what Riko had to say at that moment—

If only she had noticed Riko's tears—

The fate that followed might have been a little different.

[Chapter 6: The Lost Daily Life]

<A few days after the meteor shower - March 2030>

Riko woke up in a hospital bed.

"…Where am I…?"

Her consciousness was hazy.

Her condition had deteriorated rapidly, and she had been rushed to the hospital.

"I have to… tell A-chan properly…"

Riko tried to reach for her smartphone, but—

She had no strength, and lost consciousness again.

<Two months after the meteor shower - May 2030>

The world changed suddenly.

Anomalies occurred in plants, animals, humans, and machines.

Clouded memories, personality changes, and abnormal machine behavior.

The city fell into a panic.

Alice tried to contact Riko.

"Riko… please answer the phone…"

No matter how many times she called, it wouldn't connect.

Even on LINE, the messages remained unread.

"Riko… where are you…?"

Alice's hands trembled.

<Two months later: July 2030>

The world had turned into a living hell.

The infected became violent, and the surface was overrun by monstrosities.

Alice herself was infected, but she managed to get a vaccine just in time and took it.

Her silver hair turned purple, and chronic pain remained in her body.

But what Alice found most painful was—

"Riko..."

The fact that she had no idea what happened to her best friend.

Was she infected?

Did she manage to evacuate?

Is she still alive?

She knew nothing.

"Riko... where are you..."

Alice began her survival on the surface alone.

Holding the promise she made to her best friend close to her heart...

<Epilogue: The Lost Promise>

<Present: Start of the Story>

Alice met Akari and the others, and is now living in an underground shelter.

But somewhere in her heart—

I always think of Riko.

"Riko... please, stay alive..."

I stare at the pinky finger we used to make a promise.

"We promised... that we would be friends forever..."

Tears well up in Alice's eyes.

"...I want to see you again..."

A lost best friend.

A lost daily life.

But Alice did not give up.

Someday, once more—

Believing that the day will come when she can laugh with Riko again.

~To Be Continued...~

I've created a sequel, so I'll leave it here ヽ(=´▽`=)ﾉ

✨ Today's Lesson

[1. The Beauty of Contrasting Friendships]

Alice and Riko have opposite personalities, but that's exactly why they became best friends ✨

Cool and introverted Alice, and bright and social Riko. A relationship where you complement each other is truly wonderful, isn't it? 💕

It's the same in our own human relationships; there are many things we can learn precisely because we are different 😊

[2. The Preciousness of a Lost Daily Life]

The peaceful daily life of Alice and Riko was lost after the meteor shower 😢

However, it is precisely because of this "lost daily life" that Alice's current battle gains meaning🔥 The desire to "reclaim that daily life once more" is what sustains her✨

[3. The Weight of a Promise]

The promise to "stay friends forever," the pinky swear we made.

The fact that this promise was not kept is the most painful thing for Alice😢 But because this promise exists, Alice can continue to fight without giving up💕

It's the same with selling on Note; I realized once again that keeping my "promise to my readers" is more important than anything else✨
