Wow, it's really coming along! The choreography for the new song is perfect.

Really? It's a relief to hear you say that!

It was definitely worth doing that special training with Shizuku.

Aaargh! I don't want to remember that!

Really? But you were so cute, Ai.

The vampire princess's heartbreak triggers this film's tragedy and is the key to its solution as well. I want to make sure that we explore that properly.

Shizuku, I love you!

That's not what I mean. And Ai, you're the one who's supposed to receive the words of love anyway.

I'd love to get to PASS ON my passion, though! Geddit?!

Well, this is practice. Just be quiet and accept my whispers of love.

Wh-What?

[Fade in/out.]

So, Shizuku whispers her love to Ai and…

Nooo! That's enough of that!

All that aside, there's something else I'm having trouble understanding.

What's that?

It's just… I do kind of get it a bit, thanks to Shizuku, but I feel like I'm having trouble with…I dunno, the mystery aspect? Or maybe the scary aspect?

Yeah, you're more used to the lighter side of life, aren't you? Well then, why not watch some horror movies for research?

Yeah, I'd love that! Why don't we watch some together?

[Fade in/out.]

What do you think, Ai? Have you got a better grasp of it now?

Hmm, I think so. Instead of just trying to strike fear directly into people, it's more mysterious and scary when you keep your feelings close to your chest.

Yeah, it was creepy when you couldn't tell what the character was thinking in that movie, wasn't it?

*Whimper* This just keeps getting harder and harder for me.

*Chuckle* That makes sense—it's pretty easy to figure out what's going through your mind, Ai.

Yeah, I know. I mean, I can't see any reason to hide what you're thinking.

Huh? Wait a second, I feel… I feel like I'm being watched! Can't you feel someone's gaze on you?

Still, the two of us alone watching this movie is kind of scary. Here, hold on to me tighter so we can watch the rest!
