Mari Ep. 28: A Night to Act Cool

While enjoying some shopping with Mari, you start to feel like you really are living together. As the sun begins to set and Mari suggests you head back home, you tell her that there's one more place you want to visit.

Mari

Now, where next… Wait, maybe your house?

Player

Oh, are we going home?

Mari

Well, the sun has already set. My parents will get really worried if I stay out any later. I didn't think we'd run out of time, but I guess that wasn't the case, huh.

Player

Mari… Can't you stay a bit longer?

Mari

Huh? But…

Player

It's fine. I told our moms that we might be late. So will you come with me to one last place?

[Fade in/out.]

Player

We're here, Mari.

Mari

Amazing! What a wonderful restaurant!

Player

*Giggle* You like it, I take it?

Mari

Yeah! The night view from the window looks like sparkling jewelry. It's so beautiful!

Player

This place just opened up. People say it has a stylish interior and great food, so I knew I had to bring you here.

Mari

That's so nice, thank you! I never expected you to bring me somewhere like this!

Player

I suppose I don't usually go to fancy places like this…

Player

But you're always the one taking care of me, so I thought I should show off my good side for a change.

Mari

*Giggle* So that's why you've seemed so on edge all day.

Option 1: “So you noticed…”

Player

*Groan* So you DID notice…

Mari

I think you did a good job hiding it. Nobody else would've been able to tell. It was fun to watch you keep trying to figure out the best time to tell me.

Option 2: “On edge?!”

Player

What? I looked like I was on edge?!

Mari

Bingo, huh? I was just trying to trick you into spilling the beans, but I guess I got it right!

Player

Ack, Mari…!

Player

Awww, I wanted to play it cool, but you totally saw through me. How uncool of me…

Mari

No it's not. I'm so happy that you were trying to do something nice for me.

Mari

Hey, you said I'd get your heart pounding whether we were living together or not, right?

Mari

Whether you're acting cool, helping all the girls, or going bright red from embarrassment and being all cute, each and every moment…

Mari

You always make my heart skip a beat. You always have, you are today, and you always will.

Player

Mari…

Mari

Come on, let's turn that frown upside down! We've got a fun dinner ahead of us, after all!

Player

*Groan* I ended up letting you cheer me up after all. But it doesn't matter, so long as you're happy.

Mari

You'll have your chance to get back at me. The night's still young, you know!

Mari

I wonder what sort of heart-racing occasion you have in store for me. *Giggle* I won't be able to sleep a wink tonight with all the excitement!
