Ruby Ep. 34: Forever with the Ever-Changing You
You fall sound asleep from exhaustion after finally finishing your song. The next day, you wake up to the sound of the intercom, and when you rush to open the front door, you find Ruby standing there.
Player
H-Hnnn… Wait, it's morning?! And someone's here?!
[Fade out.]
Player
H-Hello?! Who's there?!
Ruby
Ah! Thank goodness, you're okay!
Player
Huh…? R-Ruby?!
[Fade in.]
Ruby
Here, I brought you a drink.
Player
Th-Thanks. Sorry, you're supposed to be my guest…
Ruby
You just take it easy. I really am glad you're okay. When you didn't pick up the phone or read my messages, I was worried something had happened to you…
| Option 1: “I was too sleepy to pick up.” |
|---|
| Player Come to think of it, I did see my phone light up right before I went to sleep… Sorry, I stayed up all night songwriting and I was too sleepy to even pick it up… Ruby Don't worry. I don't think I would have answered in your situation either. |
| Option 2: “I didn't notice, sorry.” |
| Player Sorry. I didn't notice at all. I've been so busy songwriting the past few days, I haven't gotten much sleep. I think I passed out as soon as I got done. Ruby Don't worry. You've been working so hard. I'm glad the song is finished. |
Player
Sorry if I've got the wrong idea, Ruby, but…did you come here just to check up on me?
Ruby
………
Ruby
Eeek! S-S-Sorry! How silly of me, just showing up without notice!
Player
N-No, no! It's okay! I just felt bad for making you go to such lengths just for me.
Ruby
There's no “just for” about it. You're important to me.
Ruby
This is no different from all the times you've come to Uchiura for me. I'd go anywhere for you. I'd never see it as a nuisance.
Player
Ruby… Thank you.
Player
…Huh? Now that you've confirmed I'm fine, your job is done, right?
Player
Are you just going to go home? Now that you've come all the way to Tokyo, you might as well go have fun somewhere, right? Like, say…hmm, I wonder where…
Ruby
U-Um, if you feel up to it, could you come with me?
Player
Me? Are you sure?
Ruby
Of course! Oh, but don't force yourself! Promise me you won't!
Player
*Giggle* I'm okay. I've been holed up in my room for so long, I'm raring to get outside!
[Fade in/out.]
Ruby
It's such fun going out with you!
Ruby
Huh? I hear music. People laughing too. Is there an event going on somewhere?
Player
(You were always so cute and such a crybaby. It made me want to protect you.)
Player
(But you'd go anywhere for me, huh? When did you get so strong? The way you're changing makes it even harder to take my eyes off you.)
Ruby
Hey, look! There's a ton of people over there! Let's go!
Player
Sure! Let's go everywhere together!
