I am so normal about them I promise (this is a lie)
I already love Raika. My little brother now!
Detailed spoilers for !!!-Era below cut btw. You have been warned.
So according to a timeline I read on Twitter Raika is apperantly a kid Rei rescued and the Sakuma brothers take care of since. So it could kind of make him a little brother.
Now I think about how that affects Ann and all I can see is Raika calling them 'neesan' since Ritsu might keep mentioning them. The two meet by accident, Ann mistaking Raika for a lost child, until bumping into Ritsu.
"Huh? A kid you and Rei-San take care of?"
"That's Neechan?"
And the siblingship starts since then. Also yes, gonna add Raika as a familial f/o (thinking of a tag).
As for Nyeli... He hardly hates anyone, I think he and Raika will get along just fine.

Hi hi!! Did you read the valkyrie climax event? What are your thoughts on it? Do you think it was a good development for Valkyrie as a unit (and for shumika)? 🤔
Hi!!! It's lovely to see you again :)
So originally this post started off with a Le temps des fleurs analysis...that got so long that rather than subject everyone to a five page post, I've decided I'll post separately in the future lol.
But yes, I have read through Raison D'etre! To be honest, I don't think this post will be able to sum up all my thoughts, but I'll try to hit the important parts!
I feel that first I need to define what, to me, makes a good climax event. A good climax event, by my personal definition, ties up loose threads of the current storyline, addresses built-up conflicts with good pacing and in-character reactions, and resolves the current story thread of the unit while still allowing many more narratives to be weaved in the future. So far, of the other units we've gotten climax events of (fine, Crazy:B, Ra*bits, Double Face, and as of recently, 2wink), I think this has all been done fairly well - a couple character slip-ups, a few pacing issues here and there, a shoved-in conflict or two - but ultimately, they did their job, and I came away feeling fairly satisfied by their current conclusions.
I think I also need to state that I do not expect, nor frankly want, all of the character's issues and relationships to come away squeaky clean and unproblematic. I'm always for development of course (Neverland's garbage talk made me sob over how far Shu and Mika have come), but ultimately, this game is about a bunch of screwed-up kids in an exploitative industry, and how they navigate it while facing their own personal issues. Like other gacha games, from otomes like Obey Me to fellow joseimukes like Twisted Wonderland, the end goal is not to make the characters perfect, or even relatively good people. It's to weave a satisfying narrative, something that hooks and engages people. And while I will be the first to say the Enstars writing is not always "good" and can be riddled with problems, I still see a lot of potential in it and ultimately enjoy it, which is why I'm writing this.
I'm happy to say that Valkyrie did not break the pattern of satisfying climax events for me, and in fact, has come away as my favorite of them thus far. I readily admit that bias does in fact play a factor in my enjoyment - as it did with 2wink's and I'm sure it will when Alkaloid's drops - but I truly did feel that Valkyrie's climax event was incredibly satisfying for both of them.
So, onto the story!
Some of my favorite bits:
Shu defending Nazuna's autonomy was so asdfghjkl 😭 GODDAMN that hit me right in the feels! I liked that despite Nazuna being part of the event, the writing didn't try to dredge up ex-valk issues, and instead used Nazuna as a person close to them in order to forward their development, rather than as an angst tool, if that makes sense? He also seems to be doing a lot better since Ra*bits climax (poor man finally caught a break), so good for him! Also, Mika gaining weight! He is finally eating properly 🥺 I'm so proud.
Ok, so adding onto the above, initially the Kuro-Nazuna crossdressing subplot made me wary since I was afraid enstars was backtracking into some of its more...iffy writing choices (*stares at Poltergeist*). However, after reading the story through, I can safely say that the way it ties back into the theme was good, and ultimately, neither Kuro nor Nazuna exhibited any behavior that impacted my enjoyment of the story (+ this thread addressing issues people had with Kuro here, because my dude was getting attacked when this dropped).
Instead of "haha man in a dress", it showed a good progression of attitudes with old vs new era and Japan vs West that I felt was explored pretty thoughtfully, and the way Shu and Mika honored that by having such gnc stage costumes was very lovely! Kuro and Nazuna's good reactions to it also showed how much more open-minded they were as compared to Shu's grandfathers era, and also showed a reflection of enstars own writing changes between ! and !! era (ex. Koga and Subaru dropping their slur usage towards Arashi, Kaoru being more thoughtful towards Adonis's background, etc). I'm not trying to be a suck-up to the writers, since there is some stuff they've written that is...less than lovely. However, I don't think this situation was one of them, and overall, it tied back into Shu's journey well.
One scene I really want to talk about is the foie gras conversation because that was just!!! so!!! It's a very small scene in the grand scheme of things, but I thought it showed their development really well (Raelyn get new phrases challenge lol), so I wanted to mention it here! Mika wants to try foie gras, and Shu is like "why. it's gross and inhumane and there are so many better foods" which is totally fair (foie gras is often inhumanely created). However, Mika doesn't automatically apologize and back down like he would in the past, stating that he knows, but he still finds it interesting. Shu also does not shut Mika down; he states that maybe at another time, though he sticks to his own boundaries of not having it himself.
What I really like about this scene on Shu's end (and his relationship with Mika as a whole) is that he does not regress into treating Mika like he did Nazuna; he does not try to insist that Mika is perfect and should not soil himself with such indelicacies, nor does he put him on a pedestal and automatically throw out his own opinions for Mika (essentially, treating him as Mika treated him). Shu truly treats him as an equal here, by stating his own opinion and having an open and meaningful conversation with Mika, getting his view on it without completely sacrificing his own thoughts. Mika, in turn, does not treat Shu's words as gospel, nor does he feel the need to plead his case; the conversation is entirely casual, a mere exchange between partners, but its so important because its one of the first times they've demonstrated that they've made it to this point. The whole thing is wrapped very nicely in a bow by Shu creating something with a similar taste and texture to foie gras to give Mika a similar experience, without having to cook the actual thing - its a great compromise both are satisfied with, and gives us a look into how their current art and performances are being created.
(Translations below by mika_enstars)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Shu's whole-hearted acceptance of Mika also comes back into play during the grave-robbing aftermath, which is something I have a lot of thoughts on, so I'll save it for a separate post.
Getting into what blew every enstars fan's mind, time to discuss the very queer themes of Raison D'etre. This shocked me when the translations first came out - I think the closest we've EVER gotten to this amount of explicit rep was Beasts and Pretty Mission, and even those can be argued for different interpretations, though I feel their text is pretty clear. Lots of queer fans (including me) gravitate to Valkyrie, and enstars as a whole tbh, for good reason - lots of their story aspects can be considered queer, from Shu's feminine interests and subsequent bullying, Nazuna feeling "trapped" by ex-Valk's expectations, and Mika's alt interests and unwavering devotion.
The doll plot was confusing as hell lol, but I get why it was done in such a convoluted manner, since it was supposed to be left up to interpretation, and force Shu and Mika to come to their own conclusions. Shu's grandfather deliberately set it up in such a way that Shu would be forced to weave the story he wants, and in doing so, accept the parts of himself he had hidden away - a fairly thin parallel to his grandfather's queer youth.
However, the difference here is that Shu does not plan on hiding, he does not plan on bundling away his feelings in a neat little box (or journal, in this case), and leaving them behind. In Antique Legend, we see that Shu's grandfather clearly tried to conform to what was expected of him, and impart those same values onto Shu - though Shu never fully stuck to those principles in favor of forging his own path, which I think his grandfather was secretly proud of him for.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Antique Legend: Dumps of Dreams, Ep 8)
Shu internally monologues about how different his grandfather's time and the current one he lives in are, and how things are evolving in such a way that he can stand on stage without the ridicule his grandfather may have faced. This, along with the ending of "Let's live together happily, Kagehira" as an ode to his grandfather's dreams, really does read like a love story to me, especially the part right before where Mika compares the love Shu's grandmother has for his grandfather as the same love Shu has for him - which Shu doesn't deny.
A couple other things to wrap up:
I found it so interesting how Mika and Shu had different takes on his grandfather's life, and trying to unravel the truth was both fun and a chore and a half for me lol. All in all, the audience isn't meant to know fully, but I think Mika's theory might hold a bit more water (Shu's grandfather being gnc and dating the landlady), since he had extra info and is bffs with Naru, giving him a bit more insight. However, I can definitely see why Shu went with his theory of "grandpa had many different male lovers in his youth", as not only is it the one that does not imply cheating, but it is a closer representation of how Shu feels, and I think that's what grandpa was trying to get at.
The use of "boku" and "ore" was also pretty good storytelling imo, and adds an extra layer of projection, since Shu uses "boku" while Mika uses "ore" in day-to-day life. "Boku" is also seen as politer and more formal, while "ore" is more casual and was at one point seen as crass, which reflected their story roles well!
The fact that Shu's grandfather just??? Fakes his death on a regular basis is???? So???? I can't even asdfghjkl. Kuro being like "yeah, I comforted him the first 5 times, but then I got kinda sick of it" is so funny too. I wonder if any of the rich enstars kids are gonna do this in the future, my money's on Eichi (for profit), Ritsu (for fun), or Hiyori (for drama) personally.
I know I said I wouldn't talk about it here, but the grave-robbing aftermath where Shu describes Mika as a fairy during their first meeting, as a contrast to how he had always described him as a ghost? That got me so good, especially since it's something so idealistic being used when Mika is currently cold and covered in dirt. It's just such wholehearted acceptance of his partner, it's so beautiful.
Anyways, I think I'll end it here, but again, thank you so much for the ask and patience Dia!!!
(Edit: accidentally included RYUSEITAI with the climax units, it's fixed now)

Playing Cards - They Stand Shoulder to Shoulder 2
Location: ES
Tumblr media
Hiiro: I told you that…I had a talk with Tenshouin-senpai before our conversation on the phone in the rose garden, right?
Mayoi: Yes. On the car ride home…You had told us that you were in the office reading fan letters.
Hiiro: It was a confusing, unclear series of questions and answers. However, from that moment on, I really began to care.
How will I meet my fans’ expectations? How should I grant Tenshouin-senpai’s wishes? What is an idol, even?
I was told to think a lot about it, and I’ve been really thinking about until today but—
In the end, I wasn’t able to answer that question for myself. On reflection, since I was a little kid, nothing has changed.
Tatsumi: Since you were a little kid?
Tumblr media
Hiiro: Even at that time, I would always keep thinking about what Nii-san had asked me.
At that time, I had an answer in mind, more-or-less but—
Because I didn’t want to disappoint him by saying the wrong thing, so I thought that I just wanted to think about it more carefully.
Because, if you cannot give the right answer, it’s the same as being unable to fulfill your duty. It’s only meaningful to answer the question when you have the right answer, right?
Aira: Yeah? But it’s not a problem on a test, it’s just a question, right?
It’s not like a test at school where you get a score, so isn’t it harder to give an answer that fits perfectly?
It’d make me happy to hear your thoughts on just that, Hiro-kun.
I look at you, who can do anything, and there’s times where I think to myself “What the hell is guy?” and get super frustrated.
If even Hiro-kun is worrying and thinking like this, I can see that we’re really just the similar in that way.
Hiiro: …hm. I wish I could have a flexible way of thinking like you, Aira.
This time around though, I understood that both back then and now, I’m only brooding about, and that I have no confidence in the conclusion I reached. I felt like I didn’t grow.
Tatsumi: Don’t be so hard on yourself.
While you are bold enough to take action, on the other hand, you are also capable of holding your ground to make a careful judgment—
Hiiro-san, isn’t it possible that your virtue to thoughtfully react to questions has stayed the same since you were a child?
Mayoi: That’s right. And you have had a lot of growth, too.
Compared to when we first met, you’ve grown dramatically in singing, dancing, and movements. If you can take my word for it, I can guarantee that.
Being a person who doesn’t know much about idols, I’m amazed at the amount of growth you’ve accomplished over just one summer.
Even if you’re not similar to the others, we can work on the parts that you feel inexperienced at from this point on. Because we will help you as much as you need…♪
Aira: Senpais, you’re very parent-like when you say that.[1]
Hiiro: Was that just a haiku? No, if you don’t use the seasonal word, isn’t it considered a senryu haiku?[2]
Aira: No, I’m not reciting a poem…
Tumblr media
Hiiro: Fufu. Thank you all for really talking with me a lot.
If only I could have answered with self-confidence. If only I could have been able to take action for Alkaloid, with my own judgment…
I feel very guilty for the crisis that I have caused to everyone, and I will reflect upon my actions.
To know that I have comrades who are close to me, it’s very reassuring. I feel more light-hearted now.
Mayoi: We are happy to see your smile, too, Hiiro-san…♪
Tatsumi & Aira: ……♪
Hiiro: Like Mayoi-senpai said, I was able to grow a lot.
I’ve come to learn the common sense of the city, and of course, there are countless things I’ve gained since becoming an idol…For me too, I’m sure I figured out a couple of things, too.
I’ll think more optimistically from here on again. For a clear answer to Tenshouin-senpai, and what I can do for Alkaloid.
Tatsumi: That’s right. There is nothing that you have to face by yourself, Hiiro-san.
The fact that a good result is required of Alkaloid, it’s a problem that affects the entire unit.
Sooner or later, regardless of who started it, we would have something to confront.
Aira: I think if I had started it, and if Tenshouin-senpai had come at me like that…To be honest, it’s a scary thought.
That’s why it’s great that Hiro-kun thinks through everything and speaks up about it properly ♪ You’re fine! Have some self-confidence!
Hiiro: It’s a bit of a strange feeling to get praised by you, Aira.
Aira: Hah~? I’m trying to cheer you up here!
Tatsumi: There, there. It’s embarrassing to get praised by Aira-san, isn’t it, Hiiro-san?
Aira: Eh~? Then choose that kind of language from the start.
Tumblr media
Mayoi: ………
Hiiro: Why are you so quiet, Mayoi-senpai?
Mayoi: While I was listening to your pleasant conversation I…I began to think again.
I thought about what I’d like to try with Alkaloid, and what I’d like to act on.
Hiiro: Did anything come to mind?
Mayoi: No…
Nothing comes to mind, so I’ve started to wonder what we can do to get something we can call a good result, and also remove the obstacles in the way of our objectives.
To put it simply, to win some sort of award. But in reality, to become so popular that you’ll have a schedule where you’re counting down by the minute—
It’s the height of being an idol…It’s not like we ourselves covet the status of being popular figures.
Aira: We're the younger generation. Yeah, we’re not really hungry for power. 
I mean, have you ever thought of aiming to become one of ES' Big 3?! Honestly, I haven’t.
Tatsumi: The Big 3….Hm. If popularity ranking is visualized on the foundation of a clear, numerical value of L$, it may be an appropriate indicator of authority within ES.
Aira: But numbers aren’t everything, right?
Even for a term like “top idol”, everyone has different criteria for what makes someone at the top.
In my case, I call someone a top idol when I can point at them and call them great but…
How well they sell, their ability, popularity...Financial power? It's not like the top idols in every sphere are all the same
Mayoi: Yeah. Even after this much deliberate thinking, there’s no way that we can just come up with something so suddenly, after all…
Tatsumi: The realization seems to be setting in that viewing things from an ordinary perspective will not do—For both close goals, and far goals
Hiiro: ….That’s right but. It’s just one thing, but something came to mind for me.
Aira: Huh, when?
Hiiro: Less of being something that I want to do, it’s more of something that came to mind.
It’d be a job for everyone in Alkaloid, and not only can we act on it at once, but I have a feeling that we would rake in some good experience.
I was told it was a happening on a large scale…We should be able to get good results from it.
Aira: W-Wait a sec. Don’t leave me hanging, hurry up and tell us.
Hiiro: —Yes.
Let’s do a live. With Alkaloid, let’s participate in Underland.
Tumblr media
In Japanese, what Aira says here is a 5-7-5 syllable pattern, which is a haiku
A senryu haiku is a type of haiku that is usually a dark comedy about human fallacies

I read the whole story of trickstar's climax event and honestly this is my favourite climax event story so far (there are still 4 units left though but I think this is probably my favourite at the end)
Trickstar's story (with anzu) representing high school life spending with those guys that are young and energetic just like those stories in shojo manga or otome games. This kind of story is rarely found on most boys' idol or games with handsome guys (especially for those are not dating sims)
Below are some spoilers of this story:
During trickstar's Christmas live concert, a video of Subaru's father was shown which is related to !'s main story act 2, the first appearance of Subaru's father's past. I think many people reading this scene cry out (I did not cry but being touched)
And...these guys will gonna graduate with anzu in the epilogue 😭😭😭 I don't want anyone of them to be graduated since they are the first classmates that anzu met and produced during high school year 2...
I think none of the remaining stories will become better than this ever (just my subjective opinion, not necessary to agree with me)

So because I want to record my progression of where I am in the story, I'm posting my impressions of the units so far. (Disclaimer: I haven't read many of the stories, and about half the knowledge I have is from osmosis and spoilers. The other half is actually reading wiki entries and the actual stories. So if these takes are inaccurate, that is probably the point XD)
Without further ado....
fine - unit of 2 rich kids who are sort of trying to be slightly less evil but kind of still are evil, one (1) theatre kid who is just there for the ride and his crush, and a butler with the face of an angel and the threatening aura of a ezekiel-accurate angel in disguise. Also another impression I had of it was one chronically ill idol stan with three of his idol crushes. But they're solid, if slightly flowery; not exactly my style but their songs are good.
Trickstar - literally my sons. Traumatised idiots who choose to continue to see the bright side with a slice of anarchy. They're all so dumb. Their leader looks straight laced but is more insane than his co-leader who is perpetually wearing the ^u^ expression (except when trauma slapped). The other two members are a camera-phobic gamer boy who is also a model and a guy who exudes reliability and sanity but is also kind of an insane workaholic with inferiority issues. I'm adopting them all and their songs are like…both generic but SO sincere you can't hate it.
Ryuseitai - Me when first meeting them: Awww! A power ranger themed unit! So cute! Me, after hearing stuff about the two senior members' lore and how they recruited their youngsters: (clutching my heart, trying not to sob/lose my mind) Aww! A power ranger themed unit! S-so cute! I would die for literally all of them…WHY. Such silly happy sincere tunes sung by such silly, devastating characters??? Found family, to me
Alkaloid - everyone here believes they are holding everyone else back with their psychological problems (Mayoi), disability problems (Tatsumi), ability problems (Aira), or culture shock problems (Hiiro). And yet they're the unit whose songs have mostly all been ones I absolutely loved. Which means the assembly machine factory idols Eichi's got going on are working and idk how I feel about that
Eden - A bunch of guys with severe family issues who probably have never read the bible (well, maybe Nagisa has). So, like, tw inaccurate depictions of the bible? Anyway, deranged quartet of a softie obsessed with cool rocks but really he has sort of a god complex, a guy with a perpetual :D who is as smart as he thinks he is but is also kind of oblivious to all of his other skills and flaws (and thus is a combo of terrifying snake and kind of someone you're sort of humouring because he's funny), a spoiled princess who might have a bit of a savior complex, and a dude who kinda just got swept along for the ride but is actually really fond of them. And it shows in their music.
Valkyrie - Just….theatre kids, who put the drama in dramatic and the intense in intensity (that's definitely not how the expression is used). They also have a very strange thing going on even though they're trying to be healthier, but I'm too afraid to ask. Unfortunately, though, they have some killer compositions and so many references to Classics and Things, not to mention their songs are genuinely good for those who want that quick theatrical vibe
2wink - Adorable twins that I was lured into thinking were the normal mischief twin duo trope but what in the actual ensemble were the writers DOING? They deserve at least half the cw/tw tags. Also, one of them is kinda like Trickstar (just wants to make things brighter) while the other one has schemes and will not hesitate to destroy you while giggling, yes. All that angst but they have such cheery tunes. Like, boys please….
Crazy:B - I mean, with a name like that….listen. You think it's the guy with the metabolism-related medical condition who has a dad implied to be accused of cannibalism and his freeloader who is a literal prince but also constantly broke that would be the most insane. But, no, we also have a fifteen year old assassin who has definitely killed and a guy who is literally both committing identity theft AND helping in witness protection. But, yes, their songs are fun, as is their dynamic. Also…Amagi brothers. Ough.
Undead - This is just…four urban fantasy love interests thrown into a unit. I'm not exactly sure what urban fantasy race Adonis and Kaoru are (though sometimes I'm inclined to think adonis is the protagonist who just kinda got swept along for the ride except he does have the vibe sometimes (aka casually kidnapping HiMERU)) but a vampire and werewolf are very obviously there. Really do love their rock and roll style, like come on (though I sometimes do think it'd be cool if they let Rei's love for jazz into their songs)
Ra*bits - Look. I love them. It really is just a single dad with one of the most messed up backstories doing his best. But like, also, leave them alone please?? The writers really just made them the damsel in distress character that makes Subaru go "oh, I have to take this revolution stuff seriously" and that's not even mentioning all the other stuff they seem to go through??? Like they do not belong in whatever genre Enstars is going for but they make it work but….let them rest. Songs not my style but they fit their vibe of "smile and spread joy" which works cause I do feel joy. Like Trickstar without the revolutionary goals.
Akatsuki - TBH, I'm still kind of wondering why these three (a warrior, a mangaka, and a tailor who used to be a delinquent) are still idols. I mean, they do have talent and traditional aesthetic is fire, and they're definitely sort of found family, but why still idols guys? That said, again, songs not my style but they definitely capture their aesthetic and vibe and that's always cool to me. Also, one of the members was raised in a Buddhist temple and helped with funerals, and I do not know enough about Buddhism enough to say if they portray a Buddhist accurately but given how they portray everyone else's quirks, it probably still has a giant dose of deranged on it.
Knights - HAHAHAHAHA. They're all insane. But they have talent and earned their place in the big three. But that does not make them less insane. That's all because I will go a bit barmy if I think about them too much. Silly, insane knights who enjoy hobbies like kidnapping (affectionate) and dancing/singing (will kill you in a duel)
Switch - Look….at heart, I can't hate these fantasy game isekai themed group. I enjoy their music because I do like the electropop remix/edm thing they have going on. And it DOES kill me that the only two 3-people units (Akatsuki and Switch) both have the dynamic of "a couple of parents and their beloved and most treasured cinnamon roll of a chaotic son." But like Valkyrie, I don't know what's going on with the senior members and am too afraid to ask, especially since they seem fine with it while their son with synesthesia cheers them on.
MaM - He is literally a cowboy. I - is there a thing with Japan and cowboys? And did someone at the writer's table see that samurai, Victorian thief, cowboys, and pirates post? Because somehow, the only member of this unit is all of them. A very stark contrast against his weirdly cheerleader/mom friend songs. I know he has mommy issues (mafia thing, I think) but.....son, are you okay?
Double Face - Yeah, okay, I love them. They might be the murder unit and I still have no clue to their formation but I love it. Put the Victorian cowboy thief samurai pirate and the child assassin together and you get secret agent type music that sounds like it could be in an old spy flick? How can you not love it?

(possible tamayoris haunted dollhouse spoilers ?)
hear me out .. yan black haired livin doll mika with his darling as his master .. iirc tamayoris haunted dollhouse mentions mika most likely bein a hinnagami fer the haunted house .. what if he actually was one .. silly little mika makes me sooooo happy ~ ! >_<
~ 💟
i have not read this story, but now i really want to...!!! i love japanese folklore so much, i used to study it in my freetime.... this request called to my soul...... i hope this is good for you......!!
warnings: murder, blood mentions (read safely)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
you never expected to come into posession of such a doll. inherited, really. mika was so sweet, it was hard to believe that someone as nice as him could be any sort of cursed doll. he loves to hold your hand as you walk to school and stuck to your side as if he was glued to you, unless you had asked him to do something.
but it's then when he gets scary. he follows your orders and to a T. but if you're vague at all, he will take advantage of it for your benefit. you have to be careful of what you say. you never realized before how the smallest things would be used as a wish for him to fulfill.
"if only i wasn't so busy today," you say. mika ruffles your hair before dashing off, and a few minutes to a few hours later, you get messages from your higher ups that you should go home early, and someone else will handle your work today. mika always returns in time to see you reading the text, hugging your waist and asking what more you want from him.
"this person is annoying me, i wish they would leave me alone," you say. the first day you say this is as soon as you realize need to watch what you say. it was after school, and a classmate of yours had just finished speaking with you as you walked with your doll, who had been holding you against his body protectively during the conversation. as they walked away, and you said what you had, you felt mika's body tense. you watch as he storms up to that student and leads them into a side alley. the two disappear around the corner, which is immediately followed by screaming, and then a loud crack. a few more cracks are heard and the yelling stops suddenly, and mika returns to you with a spattering of blood up his arm and on his face.
that person won't bother you ever again, darling! now, what should he do for you now? what more do you want from him? ask more of him. be more selfish. be greedy. spiral into your desires and let him take care of every single one.
let him take care of you—!
