Kotori Ep. 14: Cherish Yourself!

Kotori is in two minds after being asked to design costumes for the fashion show at the fashion school's culture festival. However, she just can't seem to hide her passion for clothing.

Kotori

I'm glad I was able to buy a notebook as adorable as this!

Kotori

Sorry for making you tag along with me today. You're not tired are you?

Player

Nope! I have fun when I go shopping with you since I find so many cute things.

Kotori

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately, so sometimes I want to spend a relaxing day out with you.

Kotori

*Exhale*

Player

(It looks like Kotori's still in two minds about whether to take on the clothing design gig or not.)

Player

Come to think of it, we've only been to trinket shops today. Wanna check out some clothes as well?

Kotori

Oh, but…maybe we don't need to look at clothes right now.

Player

Don't be like that! Fashion trends are always changing, and today's a new day. We gotta check them out!

Kotori

Wh-Whoa! Wait!

[Fade in/out.]

Player

Sorry for dragging you here. Are there any stores you'd recommend?

Player

H-Huh? Where'd Kotori—

Kotori

Oh my gosh! These clothes are SO cute!

Kotori

Last season's colors were subdued pastels, but the latest styles feature such bright colors!

Kotori

Yet, these ones here opt for a chic and monochrome look. They've really captured a perfect balance.

Player

So this is where you were, Kotori.

Kotori

And the accessories have a weight to them… Hmm, I see!

Kotori

Oh!

Kotori

Sorry, I got completely carried away in my own little world.

Player

No, don't worry about that at all. You know what, Kotori?

Option 1: “You really can't hide how much you love clothes.”

Player

You seem so happy when you're looking at clothes. There's no hiding how much you love them.

Kotori

Yeah, you're right. I really do love clothes.

Option 2: “You should totally take on the clothing design gig!”

Player

Why don't you go ahead and take on that clothing design gig? I think you'll end up feeling relieved if you do.

Kotori

But what should I say to everyone?

Kotori

Honestly, whenever I look at clothes, I can't help but think that those kinds of designs would look good at a fashion show and other things like that.

Kotori

I've avoided looking at clothes so that my head doesn't get completely filled with them.

Player

Kotori. If you pass up on this chance, I think you might be lying to yourself and your love of clothing.

Kotori

*Gasp*

Player

I want you to respect those feelings instead of looking away from them as if you don't want to do what you love.

Kotori

You're right. It's not right to lie to myself.

Kotori

But I can't make that decision on my own…

Player

You said you wanted to design clothes, but you're afraid it might pull you apart from the others, right?

Kotori

Yeah…

Player

I've been doing some thinking since the opportunity came up, and I had an idea. Why don't you get everyone to participate in the fashion show with you?

Kotori

What?! Is that even possible?!
