Mari Ep. 26: A Day with No Farewells

You invited Mari to spend the night at your house, so now you two can hang out without worrying about the time. Where do you decide to head first?

Mari

C'mon, hurry up! Or else I'll leave you behind!

Player

We're not in that big of a hurry, Mari.

Mari

We're cutting into our fun time! I want to enjoy my day together with you as much as I can.

Player

Of course, but we're not pressed for time, are we?

Mari

Oh! That's true! I'm sleeping over at your house tonight. We don't have to say goodbye even when it gets late!

Player

Exactly. We can take all the time we want today.

Mari

*Giggle* Just knowing there's no time limit makes me feel more relaxed. So, where d'you wanna go? What's first on our agenda?

Player

Let me see. First is…

[Fade in/out.]

Mari

This is wonderful! So many stores and so many people! I always love coming to the mall. It makes me so excited.

Player

Um… Sorry about this…

Mari

Oh? About what?

Player

Since I invited you out, I figure I should have taken you to a more fun and touristy place, you know? Not just the mall.

Player

But I was thinking that with all the stores here, this is one of those places you just can't get bored of. So, this is where we ended up.

Mari

What, you're worried about a little thing like that? Malls rock!

Option 1: “Sorry for making you have to reassure me.”

Player

Urgh. Sorry for making you have to reassure me…

Mari

Oh, c'mon! No more negativity! I'm serious—I'm really happy!

Option 2: “Really?”

Player

Really?

Mari

Yeah, of course! Didn't I say so earlier? I'm always so jazzed to come here.

Mari

Besides, in terms of places to come with you, there's something else malls have in their favor.

Player

What do you mean?

Mari

A shopping mall isn't just a place to buy things. It's somewhere you come to have fun when school's not in session, right?

Player

That's true. There's the movie theater and lots of restaurants. Sometimes they even put on events here.

Mari

Then let's hang out here today, and when it gets dark, we'll head home together. Just you and me.

Mari

Now that I think about it… *Giggle* It's almost like we live together, isn't it?

Player

Huh?! We? Us?!

Mari

But today, we're going past “almost like” and actually living together! That's pretty eye-popping, rip-roaring, and mind-blowing, don'tcha think?

Player

Y-Yeah, I guess it is a little exciting.

Mari

Just a little? And here I am saying that my heart is burning up with joy!

Mari

Well, the day's only just begun! I'm sure spending the day with me will have your heart burning by nightfall too. Let's go!

Player

Wh-Whoa! Wait up, Mari!
