You Ep. 19: Keeping Her True Feelings to Herself
Chika suggests that they take the day off from practicing for the live show, out of consideration for You—but You has swim team again today. You all head to the pool to meet her and arrange a real rest day.
Chika
Let's call off practice for today!
Ruby
We're not practicing?
Chika
Nope! We're practicing our songs and choreography for the live show after school, at lunch, and on weekends. I think we should get a little break now and then.
Player
That's a good point. It's important to get a proper amount of rest if you want to give a good performance.
Ruby
I wonder if You will be able to take it easy too.
Chika
I'm sure she will. It's tough to juggle this work with her swim team duties, so we'll make sure to factor in rest for her. Let's rest up hard so we can work hard later!
Player
Hm? Wait, doesn't You have…
[Fade in/out.]
Chika
*Sigh* I forgot that she told me she had swim team again today. I was hoping I could give her a break…
Player
We'll take a break some other day, then. We should check with the swim team first to see when they can rest… Oh, I see them. That's the pool over there, right?
[Fade in/out.]
Ruby
Hey, look! That's You standing by the pool, isn't it?
Chika
Yeah, it is! Heeeeey, You!
You
Huh? You guys? What're you all doing here?!
Ruby, Chika
You!
Chika
Y-You! Are you okay?!
You
*Gasp* Ahahaha! Man, you guys gave me a fright!
| Option 1: “You're okay!” |
|---|
| Player Th-Thank goodness you're okay! We ran here thinking we needed to rescue you. You C'mon, now! You're not allowed to run near the pool! Do that and you're likely to splash right into the pool, like I did just now. |
| Option 2: “YOU gave US a fright!” |
| Player Y-YOU'RE the one who gave US a fright! It looked like you suddenly collapsed, and then you ended up falling into the pool. You I forgot that the floor underneath my feet was wet. My bad! You have to be really careful around the pool. |
Ruby
You look a bit pale. You must be really tired…
Chika
Are you hurt anywhere? When you fell down just now, you didn't bump into anything or accidentally drink a bunch of pool water, did you?
Ruby
You have to watch out. If anything happened to you, I'd just…!
You
Ack! Both of you, calm down.
Player
You've been working so, so hard, both with the swim team and practicing your dance moves. You've practically perfected your singing and dancing by now.
Player
But none of that perfection will matter if you end up hurting yourself to achieve it.
You
…………
You
Yeah… I guess you're right.
You
I guess I did feel a bit like I needed to push myself beyond my limits. But it's only because I haven't been able to take part in the CYaRon! practices, y'know?
You
I know I can get the gist of how far along the preparations are by chatting with you in class or sending you text messages.
You
But I was worried that if I didn't do anything…I might end up getting left behind or something.
Chika
There's no way we'd let that happen! CYaRon! isn't CYaRon! without you there, You!
Ruby
Right! I love how energetically you dance and how happy you look when you sing. I love getting to perform live shows with you!
You
Chika… Ruby… Thank you. I'm sorry for just worrying about it all on my own.
Player
You look amazing when you perform without a care. I'm sure that the people who come to watch your live shows feel the same way.
Player
I think they feel that way because you're enjoying yourself from the bottom of your heart. They can tell how much fun you're having singing with the others in perfect unison.
You
Yeah. I'll stop trying to push myself so hard. And I won't worry about being left behind anymore.
You
Even if we're far apart, our hearts will stay together. And now that I know that, I'm gonna be fine!
