Dia Ep. 24: What's the Problem?
After rethinking what Ruby would like best, Dia and Eli decide to give her a joint performance together as a present. As showtime approaches, you notice something off about Dia during their latest practice…
Player
How're things going, you two?
Dia
There's no problem at all.
Eli
Same here. Now that we've settled on a day for our live show, I'm even more fired up for practice.
Player
I bet. I'll do everything I can to support you all until showtime. Now let's get today's practice session started!
[Fade in/out.]
Dia
One, two, three, four! One, two… Oh!
Eli
Dia! Are you okay?!
Dia
Yes… My apologies. I made a mistake again. Can we try once more from the top?
Player
(I feel like Dia's making way more mistakes than usual… She'd normally have the routine down pat more or less by now.)
| Option 1: “Will this choreography work?” |
|---|
| Player Dia, will this choreography work? Are there any segments that you think should be changed to make them easier to do? Dia No, I think the dance is fine as it is. Why do you ask? Is something about it bothering you? |
| Option 2: “Are you feeling under the weather?” |
| Player Dia, you're not feeling under the weather at all, are you? Dia Me? N-No, I'm perfectly healthy. Why do you ask? |
Player
I feel like you've been off your game ever since we started dance practice is all…
Dia
…………
Dia
Well… A-And it's fine if you want to laugh at me for this, but…
Player
We won't laugh.
Dia
Whenever I think about sharing the stage with Eli… I feel incredibly elated of course, but even more than that… I-I get extremely nervous!
Eli
Huh?
Player
Ahh, now I see. You are a huge fan of μ's, and especially of Eli…
Eli
Err… Th-Thanks…
Dia
N-No, there's no need to thank me…
Player
Dia and Eli, you're both beet red.
Eli
How could I not be?!
Dia
I'm disappointed in myself… Not only am I going to disappoint Ruby, but I'm also going to embarrass Eli on top of it…
Eli
Dia, I know how strong you are. You have an inner strength that never compromises on even the hardest practices and pushes you toward your goal no matter what.
Eli
You'll be fine this time too. If you're truly the Dia Kurosawa of Aqours that I respect so much, that strength will lead this live show to success!
Player
You said it! We're talking about Dia and Eli joining forces here. Together, you two have nothing to fear!
Dia
Thank you…so much!
Dia
Having you at my side is all the confidence I need, Eli. Now that I realize that, I don't feel the least bit anxious or nervous!
Dia
I apologize for troubling you two. Now let's restart our practice!
