Shizuku Ep. 25: Am I the Right Person?
Shizuku finds it difficult to visualize herself playing her new role. She feels anxious about not being able to navigate her way through the Theater Club's practices and the creation of her signature song, so she comes to you for advice.
Shizuku
Sorry for calling you all the way out here.
Player
Don't worry about it. It's so nice out today, anyway.
Shizuku
Um… I…
Player
Hm?
Shizuku
I just don't know what to do anymore…
| Option 1: “Is this about preparing for your role?” |
|---|
| Player Still can't figure out how to prepare for your role? Shizuku Oh, no. That's not it. Well, it is about my role, but I've not gotten that far yet. |
| Option 2: “Do you wanna check out other student council presidents?” |
| Player Hmm… Do you want me to ask Dia and Eli to show you what they usually do? Shizuku What?! N-No, I could never… Shizuku Anyway, that's not it. |
Shizuku
I can't really put it into words…
Shizuku
The role that I was given is important since it's one of the central characters in the story. I believe my performance could determine how people judge the whole production.
Shizuku
When the president of the Theater Club said that she wanted me to have this role, I was really happy about it.
Shizuku
But the more that I think about the role, the more I wonder if I really am cut out for it.
Shizuku
I can't help but think that this is a role for the club president or vice president, or maybe one of the club's superstars.
Shizuku
If I don't have the same amount of time to dedicate to it as someone who is solely focused on theater, can I really play such an important role?
Player
Shizuku…
Shizuku
The more that I read the script, the more fascinating the character becomes. Can I really get to grips with her? Am I the right person?
Player
I think you've been figuring her out this whole time. You said it would be a fresh challenge for you to get such a difficult role, right?
Shizuku
Thank you, but…don't you think that it's silly of me to call it a challenge for myself in the first place? I… I…
Shizuku
Oh, I know! Maybe…
Shizuku
Nijigasaki's film festival has a kind of cultural club introduction aspect to it as well, so it's an event where we want as many people as possible to attend.
Shizuku
Maybe that's why I was chosen… If a school idol plays a starring role, it's sure to draw some attention, after all.
Player
No, I don't think that's why you were chosen, Shizuku.
Shizuku
But…
Player
You know that the Nijigasaki Film Festival is an extremely important event for the Theater Club, right?
Shizuku
Yes. Every year, we compete with the Cinema Studies Club and the Anime Club for first place. Since we're putting extra effort into the play, we can't afford to lose.
Shizuku
We've inherited the hopes and dreams of those who came before us, so we take it very seriously.
Player
In that case, I don't think that they would choose you for such an important role just for the buzz. They entrusted it to you because of who you are.
Shizuku
Because of who I am? But why?
