Setsuna Ep. 11: Setsuna, Prepare Yourself!
After hearing your advice, Setsuna decides she will try to make her parents understand what she loves. Although her decision has been made, she seems nervous when it comes time to actually call them.
[Fade in/out.]
Setsuna
Ugh…
Player
Are you all right? You've been groaning like that for a while. Does your stomach hurt?
Setsuna
No… I've been meaning to call my parents, but I haven't gathered up the courage.
Setsuna
I want to call them, but every time I pick up the phone, my heart starts beating out of my chest.
Setsuna
Oh, I wish they would call me first and say they changed their minds. That would be so much easier.
Setsuna
No, no! I decided to talk to them, so I just have to do it!
Setsuna
But I feel like my heart is going to leap out of my chest. Ugh…
Setsuna
When I think about it, running away was a really silly thing to do. What if my parents don't want anything to do with me anymore? What do I do?!
Player
Calm down, Setsuna. You're overreacting.
Setsuna
Y-You're right. I lost my head for a moment there.
Player
That just shows how important being a school idol is to you.
Setsuna
Th-Thank you. Being a school idol is really special to me.
Player
This might sound weird, but I'm actually really happy.
Setsuna
What? Why?
Player
You're always really serious and focused, but even though you feel like you're doing something bad, you still want to be a school idol more than anything.
Player
Seeing that just made me happy. Sorry, I know you're in a serious situation.
Setsuna
No, it's…
Player
Hey, why don't we think about it like this?
Player
You leaving home was actually a good thing. It gave you all some space to think calmly.
Setsuna
That's a really mature way of looking at it. I hadn't thought about it that way.
| Option 1: “I think you're the more mature one.” |
|---|
| Player I think you're the more mature one. Setsuna I'm not, though. When I talk to you, everything becomes so clear. I think that's amazing! |
| Option 2: “You're making me blush.” |
| Player You're making me blush. Setsuna I'm really happy I talked to you about all this. |
Player
So, the phone call. You don't have to do it right away. Why don't you wait a bit and calm down?
Setsuna
No, if I don't do it now, I might not do it at all. And besides, I really shouldn't bother you with all this anymore.
Player
You're not bothering me at all! I've always got your back, Setsuna.
Setsuna
I've decided. I'm going to call.
Setsuna
Hi, Mom? It's me… Y-Yeah… Yeah… Um, I'm sorry I ran away without saying anything… I'm coming home today.
Setsuna
Also, um… Would you… Would you come to my show just once? I want to show you something really important. Okay… Bye.
Setsuna
*Sigh*
Player
So how was it?
Setsuna
I thought they would be angry, but they were just worried. I've never heard my mom sound like that before.
Player
Ah, sounds like it went okay, then.
Setsuna
I still have a lot of work to do, but the first step is done. I'm really sorry for all the trouble.
Player
Like I said, it wasn't any trouble.
Setsuna
Thank you. I'm really grateful to you.
