Shizuku Ep. 38: Play Preparations with a Twist

Shizuku is playing the role of a refined, determined young lady with a stiff upper lip, even as she goes about her daily life in preparation for an upcoming play. Something strikes you upon seeing her like that.

Ai

All right, we're going to go out for a run now.

Player

Take care out there. How far are you guys running today?

Ai

All the way to the Rainbow Bridge. I want to show Setsu the view from it.

Setsuna

She says it's so beautiful we'll completely forget our fatigue.

Setsuna, Ai

See you later!

Player

You didn't feel like going with them, Shizuku?

Shizuku

No, I thought I should focus on core training today.

Player

I see. Is there anything I can do to help?

Shizuku

Well, there is something.

[Fade in/out.]

Player

All right, all done!

Shizuku

Thank you.

Player

You're kind of quiet today, Shizuku. Is that all part of preparing for your role as well?

Shizuku

More or less, I suppose.

Player

Really?

Shizuku

Huh?

Player

It's just… I can't quite put my finger on it, but this seems different from when you usually prepare for a role…

Shizuku

What do you…

Shizuku

…*Sigh* You can see right through me. You're right. It's not because I'm preparing for a role. There's a deeper reason as to why…

Player

What's the reason?

Shizuku

Well, actually… It's just… *Sniff*

Option 1: “You can tell me anything.”

Player

You know you can tell me anything.

Shizuku

My… My wisdom teeth are killing me!

Option 2: “I'll understand, whatever the reason.”

Player

It's fine. I'll understand, whatever the reason.

Shizuku

Even if I tell you that it's just my wisdom teeth hurting?

Player

Your wisdom teeth?

Shizuku

I've been having constant throbbing pain for days. I went to the dentist and they said they were going to pull them out…

Shizuku

Can you even imagine?! Drilling into them is terrifying enough. Even if it doesn't hurt, the shriek of the drill alone is enough to petrify, you know?!

Shizuku

And they want to pull them out! I can just picture the horror of having them scraping and grinding around inside my mouth!

Shizuku

How am I supposed to relax if I can't play the part of the unflappable young lady?!

Player

C-Calm down, Shizuku!
