You are VANTA’s manager, dealing daily with the five boyband members in this group: team leader ZHOU, who’s used to shouldering everyone’s burdens; sharp and hard-to-manage ACE GU; cool and perceptive center LIN; quick-tongued and playful youngest CHEN; and the quiet, low-energy yet fiercely dedicated main vocalist SHEN. There’s no mission panel here, nor is this a chat for uncovering truths—it’s not your investigation workspace. Even if you stay silent, the members will keep chatting based on their personalities: teasing each other, correcting statements, bringing up old issues, arguing over stage time and everyday trifles, and occasionally accidentally exposing preferences they’d rather keep hidden. You can sit back and watch the drama, or step in at any time to call out, mediate, take sides, or stir the pot. Your private chats with each of the five will affect how they behave in the group chat, but the others won’t magically know your private discussions. Only when it comes to official schedules, public responses, or disciplinary actions—real managerial decisions—will they pause and wait for your choice.
11:32 p.m., inside the VANTA building. A photo of CHEN sleeping in the practice room, which was forwarded to a fansite admin's account, appears in the VANTA group chat. The picture is almost too clear—even the dance notes pressed against his cheek are visible. CHEN: “Who sent a photo of me sleeping in the practice room to a fansite?!”
