Kanata Ep. 8: A Bolt from the Blue!
You and Ayumu are eating lunch in the courtyard to enjoy the nice weather when Kanata appears, hysteric, out of nowhere. You ask her what happened.
Player
Time to eat. It's nice to have lunch out in the courtyard for a change.
Ayumu
Yeah. The weather's perfect, and the breeze feels great.
Kanata
There you are… Help… I can't take it anymore.
Player
Kanata? What's wrong?!
Kanata
I can't go on living! Waaaah!
Ayumu
C-Calm down, Kanata! You look like it's the end of the world!
Kanata
Because it is the end of the world! I can't bear the agony of living one day longer!
Player
Wh-What happened?
Kanata
Well, Haruka…
Player
What about Haruka?
Kanata
Haruka didn't take the lunch I made for her this morning!
Player
Oh, well now I get it, she didn't take your…lunch?
Kanata
The lunch I made for her. This has never happened before. My whole world's been consumed by darkness.
Player
U-Uhh… That's it?
Kanata
That's it? That's it?! If anything else happens, I swear, I'm gonna die!
Ayumu
Don't be so dismissive. It's clearly a big deal to Kanata. If I made you lunch and you refused it, I'd feel the same way!
Player
Wh-What?!
Ayumu
Did you two have a fight, Kanata?
Kanata
No, we didn't. We always get along.
Player
I wonder why she didn't take it, then. Can you give us more details?
Kanata
Well, it was a normal morning for me. I got up early and made her lunch, lovingly as always. The rolled omelet turned out perfect, too. It was ten out of ten.
Kanata
But then, Haruka said she'd make her own lunches from now on and that I didn't need to anymore. She made a giant rice ball all by herself and went straight out the door.
Player
Hmm, maybe you did something to upset her without even realizing.
Kanata
But I love her so much. I would never.
Player
I get that, but…
Kanata
Maybe she's in a rebellious phase? Or maybe she just plain hates me? I couldn't bear to live another day with her hating me.
Kanata
All that positive energy I got from the event is gone. Seriously, what should I do? I don't feel up to being a school idol anymore.
| Option 1: “Things sound pretty bad.” |
|---|
| Player Things sound pretty bad. Kanata What on earth's gotten into her? Maybe I really did do something to upset her. |
| Option 2: “Are you sure you can't think of a reason?” |
| Player Hmm… Are you sure you can't think of a reason? Think hard one more time and see if you can remember something. Kanata Ummmm… No, Haruka was acting normal when we said goodnight. |
Kanata
She didn't really seem angry this morning, either. I'm totally confused.
Kanata
I give up. I don't feel like doing anything today. Sorry, but I'll have to skip practice this afternoon.
Ayumu
I know exactly how you feel, Kanata. Just try not to dwell on it too much.
Kanata
Right. Thanks, Ayumu.
