Shizuku Ep. 30: A Convincing Portrayal?

Shizuku has embodied the role of a sheltered princess, and the two of you set out on an expedition of Yokohama! However, the fun times are drawing to an end.

Player

I couldn't help but laugh at that little act you did back there, Shizuku.

Shizuku

Hm? Which one was that?

Player

You know, when you said you wanted your very own Ferris wheel when we were riding it.

Shizuku

Oh, right! Well, I was thinking that a character like hers would want a ride that amusing for herself.

Player

It really felt like you were a modern-day princess. I think you're gradually getting a good idea of the role now, don't you?

Shizuku

I suppose so… Going out and feeling my way through the character like this helps with the learning experience.

Player

In that case, why don't we try a farewell scene soon?

Shizuku

What?

Shizuku

Actually, I was hoping to spend a little more time with you, Prez…

Player

True, that's probably how a princess would react to having to say goodbye.

Shizuku

Oh! Y-Yes, exactly! She certainly would!

Shizuku

Um, let's see then…

[Fade in/out.]

Shizuku

“The time has come for us to part ways… I shall take this path, and I'm certain that I shall not look back.”

Shizuku

“So, you mustn't turn around either…”

Player

“I understand.”

Shizuku

“…Alas, I cannot seem to find the proper words to say farewell.”

Shizuku

“No, that isn't the case at all. I do not wish to say them!”

Shizuku

“I promise that one day, I will come see you again! No matter how long it takes… I swear that I will!”

[Fade in/out.]

Player

Shizuku, that was amazing! It felt so real!

Shizuku

Oh… I-I'm sorry. That wasn't actually how the script was meant to go. I just got carried away and, um…

Player

Don't worry about it. I felt sad about having to say goodbye after a fun day like this, so that monologue just now really hit home!

Shizuku

A-Awww…

Option 1: “You're turning red.”

Player

Hm? You're turning red.

Shizuku

Am I?! Oh! Um, I'm probably just red from all that serious acting I was doing!

Option 2: “Are you listening to me?”

Player

Is something wrong? Are you listening to me?

Shizuku

I-I am! I'm just thrilled to hear that my performance moved you!

Player

I really did love that monologue you performed straight from your heart, Shizuku.

Player

Our princess had quite the adventure today. I'm sure that she'll be able to go and see that photographer again sometime.

Shizuku

I-I think so too. That's the image of her that I've found after spending the day as her.

Shizuku

Um, Prez… Sorry, Miss Photographer. Would it be possible for us to take a picture together to cap the day off? For us to remember today!
