Ai #298: A New World
Player
I heard you helped out at a toy store the other day. How did it go?
Ai
It was a pretty unique experience! It's like my whole world just got a little bigger!
Player
Judging by the look on your face, I'd say you had fun.
Ai
Of course I did! I just love doing new things and learning new stuff!
Player
Don't you ever get overwhelmed when you're trying out something new or unfamiliar? Like, do you ever feel scared or worried?
Ai
*Laugh* You're seriously gonna ask me that NOW? After you dragged me into the world of school idols for the first time?
Ai
I don't even know the meaning of the word worry!
Ai
There's gonna be a first time for anything you do. So when that happens, just lean into it! Give it everything you've got!
Ai
Besides, it's easier on the person who invited you if you're not super timid about the whole thing.
| Option 1: “I really respect you” |
|---|
| Player I really respect that about you, Ai. Ai Huh? What? Why's that? |
| Option 2: “If I were the toy store owner, I'd hire you!” |
| Player That's true. If I were the owner of that toy store, I'd want someone like you helping out! Ai Ahaha! Well, if you ever get the chance, you know where to find me! |
Ai
Oh yeah. I found something cool at the toy store, so I bought it. Give it a try.
Player
Whoa! Is this–
Ai
Doesn't it take you way back? It's a wire puzzle!
Player
It really does. But the shape is pretty different from the ones I grew up with…
Ai
There's lots of different shapes. Go on, try it out!
Player
Huh? Hmm? Ah, I can't seem to get it… Are you sure this is even possible?
Ai
Ahaha! Of course it is! Wouldn't be much of a puzzle if it were easy!
Player
Grrrrrr!
Ai
Whoa there, breaking it won't solve the puzzle!
Player
…I don't think I'm going to get it.
Ai
Lemme see it. You go like this and…done!
Player
What?! How did you do that? You did it like it was nothing!
Ai
How…? Well, I just pictured the shapes in my mind, and then I could just…do it?
Player
Ugh, that's so hard! I can't even picture the shape in my mind to begin with.
Ai
Oh, you might get it easier if you try putting it back together. Give it a try.
Player
…I can't. And I'm just getting frustrated that I can't do it…
Ai
Ahaha! I guess I'm just gonna have to teach you everything from A to Z!
Ai
In exchange, you gotta buy me a soft drink. Let's go!
