Chapter 9

Hoshino Ai - Fallout is the ninth chapter of the Oshi No Ko's manga series.

Flashforward
An actor, assumed to be Aqua, talks about acting and what it is for him.

Summary
The man said hurtful words about how betrayed he was as a fan when he found out she had kids, and Ai explained in her ragged breath how she wanted to love her fans. She even remembered the man's name, Ryusuke, and how she still kept a trinket that she gave him. The man run away in anguish.

Aqua tried to help out his mother, calling ambulance and identifying the wound, but Ai knows there's not enough time for her. Ruby were on the other side of the door, not allowed to see what's truly happening.

She rambled on about her last thoughts. How troublesome this might be for everyone, asking Aqua to apologize to the director for the scheduled movie she'll miss. She thought Ruby might become an idol and they might have a parent-child event, and how good of an actor Aqua is.

She wanted to watch them both grow up, and how glad she was giving birth to the both of them.

She manage to say "I love you" to her kids, remarking that it is definitely not a lie, before she dies to her injury.
