Emma #608: First Yearly Shrine Visit
Emma
Wow! Look how many people are here for their first shrine visit of the year!
Player
Yes, we'll need to be careful so that we don't get separated.
Emma
Why don't we hold hands as we walk?
Player
E-Emma?!
Emma
*Giggle* That way we won't lose each other.
Emma
Okay, time to line up so we can offer our prayers! Off we go!
[Fade in/out.]
Emma
*Sigh* I'm so happy that we got to offer our prayers!
Player
Emma, you did every single step of the prayer correctly! You're amazing!
Emma
*Giggle* I studied up on shrine visits when I was researching the Japanese New Year. I even practiced offering my prayers in my room! I'm pleased that I did it properly.
Player
There were some parts that I remembered incorrectly, so you did me a huge favor by showing me the steps. Thanks!
Emma
You're welcome!
Emma
Hey, do you want to go over there and draw fortunes?
Player
Great idea! Let's go!
[Fade in/out.]
Emma
Whoa! I got the luckiest one!
Player
Way to go, Emma!
Emma
Thanks! What does your fortune say?
Player
Mine says that this year will be slightly lucky.
Emma
It does? Okay… Hug time!
Player
Huh? Why the sudden hug?
Emma
I'm splitting my luckiest power and sending some to you. *Squeeze*
| Option 1: “I can tell this year will be another great one.” |
|---|
| Player You're so warm. I can really sense your super-lucky power through that big hug! I can tell this year will be another great one. Emma I really hope so. Maybe my super good luck is already affecting me. I got to do my first shrine visit of the year with you, after all! |
| Option 2: “That's lovely, but a bit embarrassing…” |
| Player E-Emma! That's lovely of you, but I-I'm getting embarrassed! Emma You are? I don't really want to let go… But I guess I won't hug you then. I'll hold your hand tight instead. I hope my super-lucky power gets through! *Squeeze* |
Player
Thanks, Emma. I'm sure I'm in for a bunch of blessings that are just as lovely as this shrine trip!
Emma
That would be nice!
Player
Hey, was anything else written on your fortune slip?
Emma
Let me see… “The one you're waiting for is already nearby.”
Player
Ah, okay. I wonder where exactly it means by “nearby,” though…
Emma
*Chuckle* The important person I've been waiting for is already here right now, right in front of me. Hurry up and notice!
