Rin Ep. 33: Cheerful Gallery
Having learned how important understanding things in her own way is to enjoying art, Rin gradually begins to like the art gallery. What will happen when she has to greet a group of elementary schoolers who are looking around?
Rin
Hello, everyone! Welcome to the art gallery!
Rin
I'm sure you've made paintings in your arts and crafts classes at school before, but today you'll be enjoying looking at the paintings.

Nice work, Rin! So a group of elementary schoolers are looking around the gallery today?
Rin
Yes. There are so many, but I'm managing to show them all around just fine.
Kanata
The children here today are all first graders. They're so tiny and cute!
Rin
They seem to be having such fun looking at the paintings. I'm so happy!
Kanata
Oh! Rin, it looks like the child over there has a question.
Rin
Oh, okay! Here I come!
Rin
Ugh… I'm not sure if I can give them a good answer.
| Option 1: “If anyone can do it, it's you, Rin!” |

| Player If anyone can do it, it's you, Rin! Believe in yourself! Rin Thanks! I'll just tell them what I thought. |
| Option 2: “Tell them how you really feel!” |
| Player I hope you'll just tell them how you actually felt when you saw it in the gallery yourself. Rin That's right. I can do that! |
Rin
Okay, here I go!

Rin
This painting's name? Well, this one is called “Blue.”
Rin
You wonder if this is the sea or the sky?
Rin
I see… It can look like the sea with fish swimming in it and it can also look like the sky with birds flying in it.
Rin
But to me, it looks like a forest! *Giggle* Surprised?
Rin
I think everyone feels like they have to look very closely at the paintings in an art gallery, but you're free to enjoy them however you like.
Rin
I think it's interesting to think about what you'd do if you stepped inside the painting, or what it would smell like! Try looking for a painting you like today, okay?

Player
Nice work on your work experience, Rin! You really did great!
Kanata
The children all really looked closely at the paintings after you said that. You're seriously impressive, Rin!
Rin
Yay! Thanks, you two! All I did was tell them what I thought!
Rin
I feel so overwhelmed, knowing that I can do a job properly and enjoy art!
Rin
And it's all thanks to you two telling me to do my work experience at the art gallery! Thank you so much!
Player
I'm glad you enjoyed your work experience!
Rin
It really is important to throw yourself into things you think you aren't interested in, isn't it?
Rin
I thought art galleries were dark, quiet, kind of nerve wracking places…but I felt so bright and happy today!
