Emma #96: To Win, Don't Want
Emma
Kanata, you've got a really grave expression on.
[Fade in/out.]
Emma
Did something serious happen? If anything's wrong, I'll help!
Kanata
Seeing you get that serious has gotten me all guilty.
Kanata
So, I'm doing my opening ritual for this candy. It's got a possible prize ticket inside.
Emma
A ritual?
Kanata
So I wish to get the winning ticket, gather all the power I can in my head, then bam! I open it up.
Emma
A-And then what happens?
Kanata
If the package says I win…
Kanata
Then I'm gloriously victorious! I get another candy!
Emma
Wow! You know, candy with prizes like that are the stuff of dreams! It's so exciting!
Kanata
You want to try too, Emma?
Emma
Huh? But you're enjoying yourself, right? Won't I take some of that if I do it?
Kanata
Hey, don't worry! I've got plenty more!
Kanata
And besides, I kind of want you to do it, you know?
Emma
Huh? How come?
Kanata
I've been doing my ritual since the first one, but I just can't get any hits!
Kanata
So I'm hoping that if you do it, that'll cut off the negative flow.
Emma
Oh, I get it. Well, allow me, then. I'll give one a go!
Kanata
That's the spirit. Here's yours, Emma!
Kanata
Oh, and make sure you do the ritual.
Emma
Sure! Er.
Emma
Let me win, let me win, let me win!
Emma
Hah!
[Fade out.]
Kanata
What'd you get?
Emma
It…it's a win! Here you go, Kanata, here's your winning ticket.
Kanata
Hey, that's not how it works. You pulled that ticket, so it's yours. Congrats! I'm really happy for you.
Emma
Oh, no, it's fine – I had a lot of fun anyway!
Kanata
Emma, you're such an angel!
