Ruby Ep. 2: Ruby's Preference

You help Ruby finish up the costume alterations, but just when you think it's done, Ruby still doesn't seem satisfied with them. What could the issue be?

Player

Ruby, can I help you hem the skirts?

Ruby

No, I couldn't keep you so late.

Player

But you're staying late, too. It'll be faster if we work together.

Ruby

Thanks.

Player

Don't worry about it. I want to see everyone in the best costumes on stage, too. Now, if we're making it shorter, can I just cut it?

Ruby

Wait, we have to fold and iron the cloth to the point we want to hem it to.

[Fade in/out.]

Player

All done!

Ruby

Thanks for helping me.

Player

You're welcome. You helped me through most of it, though. Now I'm a lot better at hemming!

Player

You must feel great about how the costumes look now, right?

Ruby

Hmm…

Player

What, is something still bothering you?

Ruby

Actually, there's one more thing I wanted to adjust. We're not going to have to cut and sew or anything, though.

Ruby

I wanted to make something to accent it, like special accessories customized for everyone.

Player

Accessories? That sounds good. Everyone will look pretty with some jewelry shining in the spotlight!

Ruby

Yeah. I tried going to a bunch of craft stores, but I couldn't find anything.

Player

Did you try anywhere outside of Numazu?

Ruby

No, I'm scared to go too far. I looked up some places, but when it came down to it, I couldn't bring myself to go.

Player

Really. It takes courage to go somewhere new, huh?

Player

All right. How about we go together? Then we can split the fear of a new place in half!

Ruby

Are you sure? I don't want to make you work any more than I already have, though. You already helped me so much hemming the skirts.

Player

Oh, don't worry about it. I'm sure god made me forget my CD here so that I'd come back just to help you.

Player

Plus, after hearing all this I really want to see these costumes finished.

Player

So if it's not too much trouble for you, I'd like to tag along until the end.

Ruby

Okay. That'd be great.

Player

Yeah, it will be!

Ruby

I'm so happy! I've been wanting to make accessories for a while!

Player

Where should we go? What about the stores you looked up? Oh, before that, we have to decide what to make.

Ruby

How about brooches? Accessories on the upper body are easy to see, and they won't impede on dancing at all!

Player

That's a great idea! Brooches it is then! Let's make them great.
