Whoa! So this is what a bouldering gym's like, huh?

Doesn't it look super fun?! I knew you'd come if I invited you, Kanan!

I've actually been interested in trying this for a while now, but actually committing to going to a gym always makes me feel a bit uneasy.

So thank you for inviting me, Ai. I'm super happy you did.

*Chuckle* No problem. All right, let's give it a go already!

Here goes.

Kanan! There's a handhold a little further up on the right side!

Okay! It must be around here, I think?

Oh, nice! You're crushing it.

*Laugh* It's only because you're spotting for me, Ai.

No, no, you're amazing even despite that. Usually, beginners can't get up that high because their arms start trembling, you know?

In that case, I guess all that training we always do is paying off.

All right, I made it to the goal!

Nice work!

Below me there should be… H-Huh?

D-Did I really climb this high?

You sure did! I was surprised by how fast you got up there.

I-It's kinda…

Hm?

I was totally fine while I was climbing, but looking down from the top is kinda scary…

Pfft… Ahaha! You're so cute, Kanan!

Hey! This is no time to laugh! It's actually pretty scary trying to get down from here, y'know!
