Look over there, Dia! Let's play that dance game!

I shall watch as you play. I can enjoy myself just from watching you.

Don't be like that! C'mon!

No, I really don't have much experience with these kinds of games… I'm afraid that I'll disgrace myself in front of you.

It's not like I'm especially good at this game either, but it's fun once you start playing. C'mon, try it just once?

I don't know…

It'll be fun even if we're bad at it, as long as we're together!

That has some truth to it, I suppose.

It might turn into a battle of low scores.

*Giggle* How about we make it so that whoever gets the lower score will win?

What?! I dunno how it would feel to win that kind of battle… Still, I won't lose!

[Fade in/out.]

I think I'm getting better and better at this!

Turn! Step! Jump!

I did it! This is the highest score I've ever reached today! Look, I didn't miss a single note!

Aww. No fair, Dia. You got the hang of it right away! Meanwhile, I… Well, look at my score.

Oh…

E-Even so! This was a battle of low scores, meaning that you won!

*Laugh* I knew winning would feel weird.

[Fade in/out.]

Phew. I have many things to which I must attend, but even so, I enjoyed myself quite a lot.

Could you try forgetting about those “things to which you must attend” for just a little while?

Huh?

I'll be honest—Mari and the others asked me to do this. They said to take you out somewhere as you've been working so hard, even on your days off.

Mari and the others asked you?!

I…see…

…If it's all right with you, I'd like to relax for a little while longer.

Will you walk home with me through the park? I wish to walk by your side.
