I was so surprised when I got your text.

Yeah. I almost had a heart attack, picturing all the costumes you wanted to make so the kids could pick out their own look.

I'm sorry, it was my idea to make last-minute changes! I just really, REALLY want to make these costumes happen!

Don't sweat it, Kasumi. We know you're fixin' to change the costumes for a good reason, zura.

Exactly. Encouraging kids to express themselves is a terrific idea.

Let's make this an event full of fun, freedom, and creativity.

Thanks so much, guys… I'll do my best! MORE than my best!

[Fade in/out.]

Hmm…so I cut this aqua and pink cloth to start, then…okay. So we're just making a bunch of robes right now.

That's right. At the festival, the kids will match a few badges to one of these robes to complete the outfit.

Oh, I see. So they'll combine a robe and some badges of their choosing based on their favorite color and design.

I'm still in awe of your skills, Kotori. You came up with new designs so fast.

Skills? You give me too much credit! If it wasn't for Kasumi, I'd never have thought to give the kids the opportunity to pick out their own costumes.

They say two heads are better than one, and it seems they were right, zura! All righty, time to get cracking on those costumes!

Y'know, I've always wondered… Why is the Girl's Day all about displaying little dolls?

Well, people used to believe that a change of seasons invited evil spirits and bad luck. And the Girl's Day happens right between winter and spring.

So, apparently, they started displaying dolls to ward off misfortune.

That's one of the reasons why the Girl's Day is all about praying for girls to grow up beautiful and healthy.

Wow, I had no idea. Now I want to pray for my sister's health. I suppose I'll pray as we sew.

In that case, I wanna get healthier and up my cute game!

Well, in THAT case, I wanna be healthy and have more delicious food!

Wait, Hanamaru. You're sewing up the armhole.

Oops! Thanks for the catch, Mari!

Um…do I undo this, then sew this part together?

Er…I don't know how to fix it. Grrr…I hadn't figured on robe-making being so hard, zura…

Just take this thread and…there! It's fixed now.

Thanks, Hanayo… You saved my bacon, zura!

I'm stuck! My stitches are in all the wrong places. I don't know what I'm making, but it's not a robe!

It'll be okay, Kasumi. Just remove the bad stitches and start sewing again from here. See? There. Now you're all good to go.

Whoa! Thanks for the help, Kotori.

All right, focus, Kasumi… No mistakes this time!
