Emma Ep. 22: Songs Precious to Me
At Mai's last live show, she passed down Emma's beloved song to her. While Emma is sad that Mai retired, the school idol inside Emma rejoices.
Emma
Hey, look at this! I've received so many letters from the people who came to watch my live show the other day!
Player
Whoa, that's incredible!
Emma
Just the mere fact that I got to cheer for Mai at her last live show made me super happy already. Now all of this?
Emma
I got to sing the song that's been with me for so long and then the people who watched me sing became fans of mine. I'm so happy I don't even know how to express myself.
Emma
The connections between people…I think they're called “bonds”? They're just so mysterious and wonderful.
Emma
I'm glad I came to Japan. I'm so happy I became a school idol.
Player
And I'm also happy that you came to Japan and became a school idol, Emma.
Player
I'm glad I got to support you at such a warm and wholesome live show.
Emma
*Giggle* I'm glad that we're both glad!
Emma
Wait, huh? Glad we're both glad? Is that kind of an awkward expression?
| Option 1: “It's awkward, but it's also true.” |
|---|
| Player I think the wording of that might've been a little awkward, but it's fine since it's true. Emma Is it okay for me to just push through that with my passion? |
| Option 2: “Hmm, what would be the right way to word it?” |
| Player Hmm, what would be the right way to word it? Emma Hmm… It's great that we're both happy? Emma But it still feels like I'm glad that we're glad! |
Emma
No matter how you try to word things, it's difficult to explain your emotions accurately.
Player
That's where songs come into play, Emma.
Emma
Whoa! You're totally right!
Emma
I can completely show how I feel right now through a song.
Emma
Oh, speaking of songs, something occurred to me.
Player
What was it?
Emma
After inheriting the song that's always meant so much to me from Mai, there's something I've reaffirmed.
Emma
It's that the songs you write are truly amazing!
Player
Th-Thank you… You're making me blush.
Emma
I mean, the song Mai passed down to me was special because it's what started me on my school idol journey.
Emma
But now the songs you write for me are just as special.
Emma
Because when I sing your songs, I feel as though I've grown as a school idol.
Emma
And I want to continue improving and becoming a better school idol from here on out by singing your songs.
Emma
That's why I'm so happy I met you! Here's a big hug to wish us the best for our future!
Emma
*Squeeze* And here's to more of what we're already doing!
