Dia Ep. 3: A New Door
The Japanese-style room you find Dia in is actually the flower arrangement clubroom. Dia, who is also held in high regard by this club, invites you and Ruby in to try out flower arrangement.
Player
So even the school has a Japanese room like this. The soft tatami is so soothing.
Dia
Yes, this room is usually used for the flower arrangement club.
Player
So the people in the club must have done all of these flower arrangements. They're beautiful. The members must be really good.
Dia
…
Player
Dia, why are you blushing?
Ruby
I think my sister did these flower arrangements.
Dia
Ruby! There is no need for you to say that!
Ruby
She's learning flower arrangement, so people from the club often invite her to come help out.
Dia
Only sometimes! I cannot refuse considering I use their room so often.
Player
I see. So you play koto and do flower arrangements. Your family really is proper.
Dia
I'm still fostering my capabilities!
Player
No, you're already amazing! If someone asked me to arrange flowers, I think I'd just drop them in a vase and that's it.
Dia
Then… Shall we give it a try?
Player
Wait, me?! Doing a flower arrangement?! I'm not very confident.
Dia
It is not easy, and some people just aren't very good at it. However, the door is always open for all possibilities.
Dia
Besides, choosing which flowers to put together will help you refine your sensibilities. It is not just for nothing.
Player
My sensibilities? I think that would help with school idol-related activities. Okay, I'll try it then.
Dia
Wonderful. Luckily, we have all the materials we need here. You should join too, Ruby. I haven't seen your work in quite some time.
Player
Wait, you do flower arrangements, too?!
Ruby
N-No! I just did it when I was little because Dia was doing it. I'm not good at all.
Dia
What ever do you mean? No one creates a perfect arrangement on their first try.
Dia
You said you were unable to do it well and quit. Our teacher was very disappointed. She said you had a knack for it.
Player
Really? What a waste, Ruby! Let's do it together. Come on, it'll help with school idol activities, too!
Ruby
O-Okay. I guess I'll try it one more time!
[Fade in/out.]
Player
One more flower here and…it's done! Dia, I'm finished!
Dia
Yes. I thought from the start your arrangement was very glamorous.
| Option 1: “I think flowers should stand out.” |
|---|
| Player I think flowers should stand out. Dia Hm… Although they are vibrant and gorgeous, each individual flower's presence is too strong, making the overall impression muddled. |
| Option 2: “Oh, did you?” |
| Player Oh, did you? I wasn't sure how to do it, but I thought I was being pretty subtle. Dia You might be even more dynamic on the inside than I thought. It isn't bad, but I think it needs a bit more balance. |
Dia
Instead of just big flowers, you can use small flowers and other plants, like this.
Player
I get it now. It's much more balanced. I knew I wouldn't be too good at this. Flower arranging is so deep!
