Rina Ep. 5: Hearts Connecting
The day of Rina's first show has arrived, and she's ready to stand on stage with her new equipment. She performs, hoping she can connect with everyone that came to see her, but will her feelings get through?
Player
It's finally time for the show! Rina, how do you feel?
Rina
I'm great! This new board is great, too.
Ai
Whoa, Rinari! What's up with that new face?! That's super high tech!
Kasumi
Is that like, a computer screen?
Rina
*Giggle* This is a new item we developed just for concerts, the Auto Emoticonverter Rina-chan Board!
Kasumi
Auto-who-what-now?
Karin
I was wondering what you might do about the board. I never imagined you'd come up with something like this, though.
Player
*Chuckle* I had the computer club and data analysis group from school help make it.
Ai
Seriously?! The techies at our school are incredible! I should get them to make something for me, too!
Rina
They might help you out if it's something productive.
Karin
Can you see in front of you?
Rina
Yeah. Its internal camera shows me all my surroundings on a screen inside.
Ayumu
Really! I thought it was so weird how you could walk without falling everywhere with that thing covering your face!
Shizuku
This is so cool, Rina! You're like something straight out of a movie!
Setsuna
How surprising. I bet you're the only school idol in the country with a getup like this!
Emma
Rina, this is great. Now you can dance on stage no problem.
Rina
Yeah! I'll do my best. Now I can have a passionate, exciting concert just like that one we saw!
Setsuna
Which one? You went to go see someone's concert?
Player
*Giggle* Well, everyone. It's almost time for the show to start. We'll be cheering for you, so do your best!
[Fade in/out.]
Rina
*Huff* *Heave*
Player
Rina! Nice job!
Rina
Did you see me? Did you? Did you see my concert?!
Player
Yeah, I was watching the whole time.
Rina
I was so nervous I could hardly breathe, and my chest was on fire. It was so much fun!
Rina
The people that came were singing my song with me. They matched my dance moves, too!
Rina
The… The feeling of pure enjoyment and…of wanting it to never end enveloped the whole venue. I felt it.
Player
Yeah, me too. My heart was in it as well. I just felt what everyone was feeling.
Rina
I'm so glad I became a school idol. If I hadn't become one, I never would have experienced so many people's hearts connecting at the same time.
Rina
Thank you. Thank you for making me a school idol. I'm going to work harder, so I can put on another show just like today!
Player
I should thank you for becoming a school idol. I'll do my best, too. I'll help you connect with as many people as possible!
