Doesn’t matter if it’s lie or true?
Apps where AI determine valuable rumors and buy them are all the rage.
It seems that even if there are no roots or leaves, or even if there are none, something is enough to add value.

In despair, after school, I went to school for the first time in a while.

Thank you for choosing me for such a wonderful award. Acting was my first attempt. It was exciting because it was full of first time, but I hope to take this opportunity to try out a variety of acting. I will continue to do my best using this experience as a source of energy.
