Nozomi Ep. 31: Study Date
Nozomi starts her work-study at Mito Sea, but has so much trouble with the work that You has to bail her out. Knowing things can't continue like this, Nozomi comes to you for help.
Player
I can't believe the Mito Sea people were so happy to let us in on a day they were closed just because we wanted to study the exhibits.
Nozomi
I'm so glad you could come with me! Thanks a bunch! I can't get over how quiet Mito Sea is with no one else here…
Nozomi
But the staff are still taking care of everything. Whether it's cleaning the tanks or feeding the animals, they don't actually have the day off.
Player
For sure. There's lots of work that needs to be done even in places where you don't normally see.
Nozomi
Yup yup, they're the unsung heroes of Mito Sea! The staff here are all so cool!
Player
Unsung heroes…
| Option 1: “Kinda like you, Nozomi.” |
|---|
| Player Quietly supporting everyone in ways they never notice. That's kinda like you, Nozomi. Nozomi *Snicker* You think? I wouldn't say I'm all that special. |
| Option 2: “I'm glad we got the chance to see for ourselves.” |
| Player It's great that we got the chance to see the work that gets done behind the scenes for ourselves. Nozomi Definitely. In fact, we should probably try a little harder to notice it. |
Nozomi
But–
Player
Hmm?
Nozomi
Walking around checking out the exhibits together, just the two of us… Kinda feels like a date, doesn't it?
Player
Huh?! Y-You can't just say that outta the blue–
Nozomi
Ah ha ha, I'm just messing with you! We came here to study after all.
[Fade in/out.]
Nozomi
Huh? Wait a sec…
Player
One of the exhibits catch your eye, Nozomi?
Nozomi
These are all the same species of fish aren't they? Look how the colors are pale on some and vivid on the others. I think the patterns on their scales vary a little, too.
Player
Now that you mention it, I see it too! Do they have a poster or something that explains why?
Player
Lemme see… The variations can be due to diet, the depth of the water, or even how they're feeling at the moment.
Nozomi
Wow, that's amazing! I never even thought of that.
Nozomi
The fish are all unique individuals just like us people are. We have to show each one the same respect and take care of them all.
Player
Yeah! Gosh, you sure do learn a lot when you take the time to really look carefully at the displays!
Nozomi
I just wanted to read the explanation closely. What else? Suruga Bay has a depth of 2,500 meters at its deepest point… That's why there are so many different types of fish.
Nozomi
Someone asked me again today why we see so many different species of fish, and I didn't have an answer…
Player
I see. So that's why felt you had to look at everything so thoroughly.
Nozomi
Yup! I want our visitors going home having learned as much as possible. And to do that I need to be as knowledgeable as I can!
Nozomi
Plus I wanna be more capable so I can show off to you and You!
Player
Nozomi… I'll work really hard to learn everything I can too. I'll take lots of notes so we remember all our new discoveries from today!
Nozomi
Thank you! Having you with me is a huge help. Let's do our best together!
