For Shimizu, it's a no-brainer when Iwaki decides to leave her agency: she'll go wherever he feels compelled to go, but no matter how it may look to others, it's not blind trust on her part. As a young girl, Shimizu worshipped talent across the board, but over the years, she has become far choosier about who deserves her devotion. What makes Iwaki her ideal client is his willingness to twist and train his talent into any direction demanded of him. It raises Shimizu's own game, and she would rather clean toilets than spend her time on anyone less dedicated.
