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.
