*Sigh*

Are you all right, Dia? Do you still feel ill?

No, I'm much better now. I apologize for worrying you. Imagine, a silly little thrill ride wearing me out to this extent! Pathetic.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. There are lots of people who aren't into thrill rides, you know. I'm really sorry I goaded you on…

I was the one who chose to ride that thing. Anyway… While that was a nasty experience, this has turned it into a rather pleasant one.

I can use today's trials to steel myself for whenever I am next presented with the chance to ride a thrill ride.

If you say so…

Now that we've taken this little rest stop, I feel completely refreshed. What ride should we try next?

Good question… We could try a different thrill ride? There's one where the seats spin around, and one that sways up and down like a pendulum…

Wha?! W-Wouldn't you say it's better to limit yourself to one thrill ride a day? The whole point is to be thrilled, after all, and if you ride too many the appeal is sure to—

*Laugh* I was kidding. It's fine, really. You don't need to refuse so emphatically.

I wasn't refusing! I merely wanted to express that we need not continue to ride the same rides…

Yes, I'm sure. As for what to do next… Do you want to watch the parade?

The parade?

This theme park has a really flashy parade. It's super popular! According to the pamphlet, it's due to start soon.

I would like to see that very much. Where is this parade held?

On Main Street, I think. Let's get going!

[Fade in/out.]

Here…?

This should be it… There's a lot of people crowded around here, huh?

It reminds me of the crowds in Harajuku.

*Laugh* Yeah, I think there's about that many people here! Unfortunately, I don't think we'll have much chance of seeing the parade like this.

We might have secured a better viewpoint if we had arrived earlier. I'm sorry, this is all my fault for making us rest for so long…

No, it isn't. The parade is gonna be on for a while, so we can try moving somewhere with a better view.

That is a good point. It is a popular parade, after all, and I would like to at least catch a good glimpse of it.

All right then! Let's go ahead of the parade to one of its stops.

Okay. I do hope we can find a place where the crowds aren't so thick.

[Fade in/out.]

*Sigh* Wherever we go, there are crowds upon crowds upon crowds. This parade really is popular! I can't find a good spot anywhere.

Hey, Dia, this is just an idea… What if we didn't watch from Main Street, but found somewhere a bit further out? Maybe somewhere a bit higher…

…Dia?

Huh? What the…? D-Dia's not here! Where'd she go?!
