Hanayo Ep. 8: Nothing's Going Right?!
Hanayo seemed excited and ready to give it her all for her solo live show, but she clearly appears to be worried about taking the stage on her own. You step in to help put her mind at ease.
Player
Hello! Is Hanayo around?
Maki
Hanayo's out running on the school field. She said she wanted to finish up her practice before you came.
Player
Really? Wow, she's amazing!
Rin
I'm so excited for her solo live show! Just the thought of it right now gets my heart pounding!
Maki
But it sounds like she's under a lot of stress. I'm sure she can handle it, though.
Player
Right… I know it must be difficult, since usually it's all nine of you going up there together.
Player
(I hope I can relieve some of her stress, even if it's just by a little bit.)
[Fade in/out.]
Hanayo
Oh! You're already here? Sorry for making you wait.
Player
Not at all! More importantly, you're amazing! I heard how hard you're practicing for your solo performance!
Player
Is there anything you're worried about with it? I wanna give you some support wherever I can.
Hanayo
*Whimper*… It's all messed up…
Player
Hanayo?! What's wrong?
Hanayo
Everything! Everything is wrong!
Player
E-Everything?!
Hanayo
There's a part of me that can't believe I'm really doing a solo performance! And I totally feel like I can do it if you're cheering me on.
Hanayo
But then there's another part of me that's like, maybe I can't do this on my own after all… And these two sides of me are just duking it out.
Hanayo
It's all I can think about during practice, so I can't even do that right…
Player
Hanayo…
| Option 1: “I love seeing how much fun you have when you sing!” |
|---|
| Player I love seeing how much fun you have when you sing! Hanayo Huh?! Wh-Where did that come from? Player I'm sure you've gotten nervous or insecure about shows in the past too, but you always seemed to enjoy every time. Hanayo Now that you mention it…maybe you're right. Player So I just know you'll enjoy yourself at a solo live show too! |
| Option 2: “You'll be absolutely fine!” |
| Player You'll be absolutely fine! Hanayo What? But… Player I've been around you for a while now. I've seen how hard you work at practice and when you're throwing out ideas with the club. Player You might not believe in yourself just yet, but I believe in you! |
Hanayo
Thank you. I had no idea you believed in me so much.
Hanayo
I feel like your words are enough to give me faith in myself, slowly but surely.
Player
We still have plenty of time before the live show, so I want you to try to believe in yourself just a little bit more every day.
Hanayo
Okay! I also gotta figure out what kind of performance I want my solo live show to be pretty soon.
Player
Yup. I think it'd be amazing to see a performance that's uniquely Hanayo-esque. Do you have any ideas?
Hanayo
No, nothing yet…
Hanayo
I used to be someone who just watched school idols, so I never thought I'd actually become one myself. I don't know if I can make something that's uniquely me.
Player
You never thought you'd become a school idol yourself, huh?
Player
Hanayo, I think I've got a great idea!
Hanayo
What?! Really? Tell me, tell me!
