Hm, I think I've hit a dead end in my practice, though.

Then why don't we take a nice break? They say you need input to create output, after all.

Yeah, I've been stuffed up in this club room for a while, so maybe taking a break will be good for me.

I know! Ai told me about this great dance game for me. Want to check it out?

Of course!

I wanted to invite Ai too, but it seems like she already went home. Looks like it's just me and you today.

I can't wait!

[Fade in/out.]

I don't usually come to arcades. They're really lively, aren't they?

There are lots of different games. Where's the dance game Ai told you about?

She said it was all the way in the back. Oh, is that it?

Looks like when that person is finished we can play.

Hmm…

(She's really watching that person play. Karin gets so into her research.)

I see… So you step on the buttons on the floor that are shown on screen… Heh, I get it.

That person was amazing. Wait, Karin? Why are you taking off your shoes?

I can't do my best in heels. Okay, let's do this!

[Fade in/out.]

Huh? Wait, this is weird. The timing is faster than I thought!

(She's not moving much for how enthusiastic she is. Proves that dancing is dancing and gaming is, well, gaming.)

Oh, oh, no! I messed up again! Hold on! Wait a sec! Ahhh!

[Fade in/out.]

Game over. Um, good effort.

Y-You know… This is my first time playing, that's why this happened. If I just get used to it, I know I can get a perfect score.

(Is Karin competitive when it comes to games, too?)

R-Right, I know that.

That being said… Can you go exchange some money for more coins?

What?

I'm not mad. I swear. I just have to get better by the time Ai and I come here, so…I won't be going home until I get it perfect.

Okay, I'll go get some change.

(I didn't know Karin could be so childish. Okay, I guess we'll do this until she's satisfied!)

I'll clear this in no time!

I know you'll get the hang of it soon!
