Rin Ep. 18: A Trembling Heart
Rin is eager to help Nozomi and Umi during their sub-unit live show. However, she soon feels that she's hindering rather than helping them and becomes distressed.
Rin
Nozomiii! Let's go to the clubroom!
Nozomi
Oh? You came to the classroom to get me? That's so nice. I'll go to the clubroom as soon as my student council duties are finished.
Rin
You've got student council stuff again today? Shall I help you out?
Nozomi
*Giggle* Thank you, Rin. I appreciate the thought, but I'll be fine. Anyway, see you later.
Rin
I guess that's a no then…
[Fade in/out.]
Rin
Ah, Umi! Let's go to the clubroom together! I've thought up even more lyrics since last time.
Umi
Rin! Sorry, but the teacher asked me to give out some handouts. I'll go to the clubroom as soon as I'm done, so could you go ahead without me?
Rin
Aww, Umi and Nozomi are both busy.
[Fade in/out.]
Player
So you came to the clubroom ahead of them.
Rin
That's right! I mean, they were busy after all.
Player
Oh well. Since we're here, why don't we go ahead and have a brainstorming session for the sub-unit live show?
Rin
*Groan*
Player
R-Rin? What's the matter?
Rin
It's just, well! I decided to help Umi and Nozomi with this sub-unit live show, but I haven't been any use at all yet!
Player
What? Are you sure about that? The kitty-cat fortune-telling and the kitty-cat song that you came up with before were really good!
Rin
Really? But Umi and Nozomi are so busy that we aren't making any progress with the live show preparations. I guess I really am useless by myself.
Player
It's not like Umi or Nozomi have told you that you're useless, right?
Rin
They're both so kind that they'd never say it to my face. But I'm sure they think so.
Player
Rin!
| Option 1: “This isn't like the cheery Rin I know!” |
|---|
| Player This isn't like the cheery Rin I know. What's the matter? Rin Even I have less-than-cheery days, you know. |
| Option 2: “There's no way that either of them would think that.” |
| Player There's no way that either of them would think that. Absolutely not. Rin I want to think so too, but— |
Player
I don't think Umi or Nozomi would lie to you, Rin. You should trust them more.
Rin
But…
Player
Rin, do you think that I'm lying to you too?
Rin
I want to believe what you're saying, really.
Rin
It's just, you're kind too. So maybe you're just saying it to make me feel better, since I'm so useless.
Player
I'd never do that!
Rin
Arghhh, my thoughts are in such a mess! I need to take a second to calm down.
Player
Rin!
