You Ep. 28: Anywhere with You

You hike up a mountain to train with You. She shows you the beauty of the light filtering through the tree leaves, the cuteness of the mushrooms along the trail's edge, and how the charm of Numazu's mountains lives up to its sea.

Player

*Huff* *Huff* *Huff*

You

The summit's just a little further, right? Oh, I wonder what kind of view will greet us. I can't wait!

Player

(This slope is getting harsh… My legs are heavy… And my pace keeps getting slower too…)

You

Here.

Player

Huh…?

You

Let's hold hands.

Player

I-I can't. It'll take you longer if you take me with you. Go ahead without me, You. I bet you'll make it to the summit in no time if you go alone.

You

Don't worry. Making it to the top wasn't my aim for today anyway.

You

I was rushing a little too much, wasn't I? I was enjoying hiking with you so much that I got carried away… Sorry.

Player

I-I'm the one who's sorry! I wanted to be there striding alongside you, but instead I'm here trudging behind…

You

Let's just take our time and make our way up. The summit's not going anywhere, so there's no need to rush. Besides, if we take it slow, I get to spend more time with you!

Player

You… Thank you.

[Fade in/out.]

You

Here we are! The summit!

Player

Gah… Haaahhh… We finally made it to the top…

You

*Laugh* Nice work! I'm pretty beat myself! There's a bench over there. Let's sit down.

Player

Yeah.

[Fade in/out.]

You

Mmm, the breeze feels wonderful.

Option 1: “The air is so clear.”

Player

The air is so clear… It really energizes me!

You

I know what you mean! It feels like you're breathing in the power of the mountain along with the air! This is how it feels when you make it to the top.

Option 2: “Are you a fan of hiking now?”

Player

Are you a fan of hiking as a way to train now?

You

I sure am! Your body gets stronger, you get to see wonderful views, and the air is so crisp. Mountains are just the best! I'd love to climb again sometime!

Player

I'll do my best not to run out of gas halfway through next time, though!

You

I'll try to pace myself better next time too. Let's try a different mountain and bring lunch.

Player

It'll be like a picnic.

You

A picnic? That sounds great! Let's go with that.

Player

*Laugh* Sounds like it'll make for some fun training. Let's go all over, to the mountains and the sea! I want to see you in front of all sorts of backdrops.

You

I also want to see you in all sorts of surroundings. You definitely have to take me.

Player

Sure! Once we get down off the mountain, let's get something to eat and discuss our next destination.

You

Roger that. I'm starving! Right then, guess it's time to head back down.

Player

Huh?! You're heading down already?! Gimme a few more minutes to catch my breath!
