Hanayo Ep. 18: Distant Ambitions
While doing an interview, Hanayo starts to worry that her ambitions are too high. She asks Dia and Setsuna for advice to soothe her worries.
Setsuna
Was there something you wanted to discuss with us?
Hanayo
Y-Yeah. There's something that's worrying me.
Player
Dia, Setsuna. Since you both love school idols so passionately, I wondered if you might help Hanayo out with what's worrying her.
Dia
Of course it's no trouble for us. What is it that's worrying you, though, Hanayo?
Hanayo
Um, I'm embarrassed about how high my ambitions are.
Setsuna
High ambitions?
Dia
You're embarrassed by that?
[Fade in/out.]
Setsuna
I see. So you talked about your ambitions in an interview and now you're embarrassed about them.
Hanayo
Yeah. They're so far away from where I am now that I felt really ashamed.
Dia
I understand the details of the situation, but I still can't comprehend what's embarrassing about it.
Hanayo
Huh?
Setsuna
I feel the same way as Dia. What's embarrassing about having distant ambitions?
Hanayo
What?! Wh-What do you mean?
Dia
If your ambitions rest close to where you actually are, then they're hardly fit to be called ambitions.
Dia
Is it not specifically the height of one's ambitions that spurs on one's effort to reach them?
Hanayo
When you put it that way…you have a point.
Setsuna
Simple goals that you can reach right away don't really qualify as ambitions at all. I think you have your eye on your true ambition, Hanayo.
Hanayo
I see. Does that mean that it's not a bad thing to have lofty goals?
Dia
You should in fact strive to reach those heights. Knowing you, I'm sure you can do it, Hanayo. Keep on doing the best you can!
Setsuna
We'll always be cheering you on, Hanayo! Keep on fighting!
Hanayo
Okay! Dia, Setsuna, thank you!
[Fade in/out.]
Player
Hanayo, have you gotten over what was worrying you?
Hanayo
Yeah! I feel much better after having Dia and Setsuna listen to my problem.
Hanayo
Now I know that big ambitions are nothing to be ashamed of and that there's no need to hide them.
Hanayo
Originally, I felt like there was a bit of hesitation within me, but…it actually turns out that I want to try my hand at everything!
Hanayo
I'm allowed to say that I want to be the star of the performance!
Player
Oh, Hanayo!
| Option 1: “I'm so glad you realized how you really felt!” |

| Player I'm so glad you realized how you really felt! Hanayo Yeah! I guess I told myself that there was no way I could do it, and so I shut all of my feelings away. |
| Option 2: “You don't have to hide it anymore.” |
| Player You don't have to hide how you feel anymore. Hanayo Yeah! I'm going to try my best to make my ambitions real. |
Player
Great. So do you think we can use that interview from earlier as it is?
Hanayo
Sure! This is how I really feel right now, so I have to show these feelings to Honoka and Kotori!
