The "Full Version" of the video turned out to be a grueling, three-hour-long instructional live-stream playback. Ui had anticipated exactly what kind of fans would click a clickbait title like "Loveho Date Hen." To punish them, she had recorded a marathon session of her doing the most mundane, exhausting parts of an illustrator's life.

Whenever the video reached a moment where it seemed like it might get soft or romantic, Ui would aggressively break the fourth wall. She would point her stylus at the screen and say things like, "Why are you blushing? The only thing getting hot in here is my graphics card because I forgot to turn on the AC." Or, "Don't look at me like that. Focus on column B of the expense report, or we are never getting out of here."

As the video faded to black, a final drawing appeared on screen. It was a custom illustration of Ui wearing a smug, victorious smile, holding a sign that read: Go touch some grass.

"Welcome to your fantasy date," Ui's voiced rang out, dripping with heavy sarcasm. "I hope you brought your wallet, because we are going to do something incredibly romantic and intimate today." Kenji leaned in, holding his breath.

With a mix of intense curiosity and profound dread, Kenji double-clicked the file.

By the end of the video, Kenji hadn't received a single cute anime trope or sweet confession. Instead, he had unironically learned the fundamentals of independent contractor tax deductions in Japan and the most efficient way to render digital foliage.
