"Well, that's how it is. Unless there's a bug in the script for the sprites or something, you won't be showing up."
"Y-You're saying I'm inferior to this Erika girl?! How?! Why?!"
"...She's pretty much got all the specs. She's annoying. She's pathetic. Most importantly, she's a pervert. It's almost too much for one character."
"W-What?! Are you trying to say I've lost my impact?! Are you're saying I'm not as good a character?!"
"...I mean, she's a pervert who changed into a swimsuit to climb the walls and stick duct tape to windows in the pouring rain... Erika came in 6th place in the popularity poll, and you came in 8th. But she still got almost double the amount of votes as you, you know...?"
"S...so what... So you're saying that young girls can get votes just by wearing a swimsuit?!"
"It's 'cause men are weak against exposure. Even shortening your skirt a bit would be enough. Erika's only reaches her knees, but yours is a long one. In this age of zettai ryouiki, you can't get anywhere without socks, tights, or thigh highs. Your hairstyle's also pretty plain. Erika's instantly popular twintails are a huge improvement. Against her skirt, hairstyle, exposure, and perverted nature, you've got no chance. She's totally got you shoved into the background. I can't think of a reason why I should try and work you into the story."
"G-Gaaaaaaaaah!"
