[Fade in/out.]

Let's work hard again today, everyone. Rina-chan Board says, “Bow.”

We've got your back! I'm gonna get you that contest trophy, don't you worry.

I know exactly what I have left to do too.

I guess we should just pick up from where we left off yesterday.

There's something that I want you to help me with.

We got more done yesterday than I thought, so I want to balance the game. Could you do that for me?

On it!

We'll keep going with our work, then.

I'll have Little Baby's part finished soon too.

[Fade in/out.]

I think this is good. What do you think?

…………

Rina?

Oh… Um, yeah. That's fine. Seems good to me.

I bet everyone will enjoy this.

…Hey, do you want to step out for a breath of fresh air?

Huh?

You know, they say you end up going funny just sitting in one spot like that all day. Besides, I, uh…want to get some fresh air and clear my head too.

…Okay.

[Fade in/out.]

Ahh, the breeze is nice, huh? C'mon, try taking a deep breath.

*Inhale* *Exhale*

And another.

*Inhale* *Exhale*

Is there something on your mind, Rina?

Huh?

It seemed like you were totally absorbed in your work back there.

However, it started to seem like there was something more going on. I wasn't completely sure, but then…

…I remembered what Lanzhu said yesterday about how you're acting like how I usually do, and I realized that my gut feeling was probably right.

I'm worried that you're not enjoying what you're doing right now, Rina.

I…wouldn't say that.

I just thought that maybe coordinating everyone might not be what you truly want to do.

Oh, well, um…

I enjoy being that coordinator. I think it's a role that suits me.

I can't think of anything better than helping others achieve their dreams, whether now or farther down the line. It's what I do, and what I want to carry on doing.

That's why I want to help you, so you can do what you really want to after standing up and having the courage to enter this contest.

Ngh…

I… I'm not really sure what to do.

I just felt like there was another kind of dream-based game I'd liked to have tried making.

But the one we're making is a good one too. I think it'll be a great game filled with everyone's dreams

What kind of game did you want to make?

I'm not sure exactly, but I'd like something that would let me connect with everyone in the fan club…with lots of people.

I see.

Something with challenging parts that you couldn't clear on your own, where you'd have to team up to take it on.

It would have easy controls and simple rules so that you could enjoy it whether you're good or bad at games, but you'd also get rewarded more for being skilled.

So no pressure to be good, huh? Even someone like me could play it for hours!

And it'd be great to have a feature where strong players can help you out.

I'd be unstoppable with someone like you or Mia on my team.

I want to play alongside everyone. I want us all to experience that same fun together.

Let's make it happen.

But…

You're worried about the one we've been making, aren't you?

Yeah. I do think it's a good game.

And I was kind of flattered when Lanzhu said I was acting like you.

It made me wonder if I could do the things you always do for us…if I could be more like you.

*Laugh* What a nice thing to say!

But I want you to leave all of that to me and for you to do what you enjoy.

It fires me up to see you happy.

It…does?

Yeah!

So we should talk this over with the others.

Okay!
