Shizuku Ep. 19: All the World's a Stage
Shizuku has decided to give back to her fans by coming up with a performance combining recitation and song. What kind of story will she tell to everyone through her quintessentially-Shizuku performance?
Player
What kind of story do you want to convey to all of your fan club members, Shizuku?
Shizuku
Hmm, I've got so many ideas that I just can't decide.
Player
Sounds like there's a lot you want to tell everyone. I think that's a great problem to have.
Shizuku
I can't narrow it down to one idea, but they all go back to the same thing. Do you mind if I talk about it?
Player
Sure, I'd love to hear.
Shizuku
I want to show everyone that all the world's a stage.
Player
All the world's a stage?
Shizuku
Yes, and all the people in it merely players. We're all acting out characters, and since we're acting, we can become any character we want in this world.
Shizuku
Each and every person is playing a leading part, spinning their own fascinating tale. There are exciting encounters and exhilaration when these stories cross paths.
Shizuku
So I want to thank everyone for meeting me, and I want to continue to weave the intricate tapestry of this story forever with you.
Shizuku
That's the kind of story I want to create!
Player
Sounds like so much fun!
Shizuku
You really think so?
| Option 1: “I do!” |
|---|
| Player I really do. I want to join you in that world, too. Shizuku Hearing you say that gives me a boost of confidence. |
| Option 2: “That's totally something you'd come up with.” |
| Player I think that totally sounds like something you'd come up with. Shizuku Thank you so much! |
Player
All the world's a stage, huh? So you're saying my life is also a stage? Heh, maybe not.
Shizuku
No, that's it! That's exactly what I mean! Your life is the stage! Thinking about it in that way will give your days a sparkle to them!
Shizuku
Oh… I get it now. I know exactly what story I want to show to all of my fans.
Shizuku
A story about the beginning of everything.
Player
Oh, sounds interesting. So how are you gonna go about making it?
Shizuku
First, I'm going to gather my thoughts. You've always supported me, so my feelings to you will form the heart of this whole story.
Player
What?! Me?!
Shizuku
Well, you were the one who brought me back to the School Idol Club from the Theater Club.
Shizuku
I'm having so much fun now. All of my days are so fulfilling, and I'm always excited about what my day will bring.
Shizuku
I have you to thank for all of that. You were also here for me today to listen to my jumbled thoughts and give me the nudge of support I needed.
Shizuku
Nothing is more reassuring to me than this!
Player
Oh, Shizuku.
Kasumi
Hey! Shizuko, what are you doing all alone here with the Prez, huh?!
Rina
How suspicious.
Shizuku
I-I'm not getting up to anything suspicious at all!
Shizuku
Right, Prez?!
Player
R-Right. I mean, I did get a little taken aback because of all your compliments, though.
Kasumi
I KNEW something sus was up!
Shizuku
I told you, none of this is suspicious!
