Ruby Ep. 14: True Feelings Emerge

You're in a depressive funk due to the rift between you and Ruby, but after realizing how happy your clubmates are to see you, it helps you to see your past actions in a new light.

Player

*Sigh*

Kanata

You haven't been going to Uchiura much lately. Aren't you gonna see how Ruby's practice is going?

Player

…Yeah. I just think I might be getting in her way if I butt into everything she does.

Emma

What? Did Ruby tell you you are?

Player

No, but when I think about it rationally, all I've done is interfere. I'm not even in her group, but I keep visiting her and pushing my own selfish whims on her…

Player

That has to be inconveniencing her. Ruby's just always been too nice to turn me down when I asked, even if she wanted to.

Karin

That's a fair assumption, but wouldn't it be better to go to Ruby directly and ask her how she feels?

Player

I don't know…

Ai

Howdy! Wow, there's already four of you in here!

Kasumi

Prez! Thank goodness you're here today!

Player

Why wouldn't I be here? Today's a club day.

Ayumu

Well, yes, but…we haven't had much chance to do club activities with you recently.

Player

*Gasp*

Kasumi

I brought along the latest school idol magazine, hot off the presses! I bolted to the bookstore at lunch just to buy it. Let's read it together!

Player

That sounds nice. We can all read it.

Ayumu

Oh, there's an interview with Aqours in this issue. Let's see… It's on page 30.

Player

(If it's an Aqours interview then maybe Ruby wrote a few words, too…)

Kanata

Aren't you gonna read it?

Player

Yeah, I am.

Ai

Thirty, thirty… Here we are! An interview with Aqours. I wonder what they talked about.

[Fade in/out. Taking out phone.]

Ruby

Hello…?

Player

Hi, Ruby. It's been a while.

Ruby

Yeah… U-Um, yes! It has certainly been a while, I mean.

Player

*Laugh* Why so polite?

Ruby

Eeek! S-Sorry!

Player

You know, Kasumi brought a school idol magazine to the club today. It only just went on sale, and there was an interview with Aqours in it.

Player

I read your comments, Ruby. It helped me understand how you feel, so…

Ruby

Yeah…

Player

I miss you, Ruby. Could I come see you?

Ruby

Of course you can. I… I've missed you, too.
