Emma Ep. 14: In the Clubroom at Dawn

You head over to the clubroom early one day to find Emma already there. What has she been doing all morning?

[Fade in/out.]

Emma

Morning! You're early.

Player

Good morning! Speak for yourself. I thought for sure I'd be the first one here.

Emma

Sorry, not today!

Player

I know Shizuku's a morning person, but I didn't know you were too.

Emma

Haha, I wouldn't call myself a morning person. It's just a habit for me, I guess? I used to help out around the house before the crack of dawn back in Switzerland.

Player

Ah, that makes sense.

Emma

So why are you here? Don't you normally come with Ayumu and Kasumi?

Player

I left my practice notebook here yesterday, so I figured I'd come in early to write my thoughts.

Emma

Oh, the notebook you always fill up with notes about us, right? *Chuckle* I can't wait to see what you've written.

Player

More importantly… Emma?

Emma

What is it?

Player

What's with the broom? Were you cleaning?

Emma

I sure am!

Player

Oh gosh, I'm so sorry! I just realized we never decided on a cleaning schedule!

Player

But it's always been so clean… Have you been keeping it clean for us all this time?

Emma

Well, I don't do it every day. Just sometimes.

Player

I'm SO sorry!

Emma

This is our precious club room, so it's only natural to want to keep it looking nice, right? I wouldn't do it if I didn't want to. You really don't need to apologize.

Player

We can decide on a cleaning schedule with everyone later. For now, you'll have to put up with me.

Emma

You really don't have to…

Option 1: “Two sets of hands are faster than one.”

Player

We'll get the job done faster with two sets of hands instead of one anyway.

Emma

You're right about that.

Option 2: “The guilt is killing me…”

Player

The weight of this guilt is crushing my very soul. Please let me help…

Emma

Don't be so dramatic…

Emma

The two of us can take care of all this before the rest of the girls even get here.

[Fade in/out.]

Emma

Look at this! Clean as a whistle!

Player

Yup! I promise I'll take much better care of it from here on!

Emma

*Giggle*

Player

You know what? I still don't feel like I've done enough. Let me buy you a drink or something. Any requests?

Emma

Come on! You're really over-thinking this!

Emma

Oh, but if you do want to make up for it, there is one thing you could do.

Player

What is it? I'll do anything!

Emma

I want you to write a whole bunch about me in today's practice notes.

Player

That's it?

Emma

Well, you'll have to keep a close eye on me if you want to write all about me, yeah?

Emma

I was hoping maybe you could focus on me today.

Emma

Is that too much?

Player

Of course not! I'll do my very best!

Emma

Hee hee! Right back at you.
