Kotori #305: Break-Time Refresher

Player

*Giggle* I hope everyone in ÎĽ's likes these special treats.

Player

Excuse me, I'm coming in.

[Fade in/out.]

Kotori

Hmm…

Player

Kotori! Hi.

Kotori

Hum…

Player

Kotori?

Kotori

Wah! Wait, huh? What are you doing here? It's still…

Kotori

What?! T-Time sure got ahead of me! Sorry, I actually wanted to go greet you as well.

Player

Oh, that's okay! Don't worry about it. I should be the one apologizing for asking to hang out when I know you have a live show coming up. You must be busy, huh?

Kotori

It's okay. Everyone, including me, has been really looking forward to you coming. They should all be here soon so let's wait for them together. Have a seat.

Player

Thanks. I'll just sit right next to you, then.

Kotori

*Giggle* Go ahead!

Player

By the way, what was on your mind a little earlier? You had a really serious look on your face.

Kotori

Our costumes for the upcoming live show. I've been thinking this whole time about how I should design them, but I still haven't come up with any ideas.

Option 1: “That's tough.”

Player

I get it… It's tough coming up with costumes. Especially since you have to think about lots of things like the vibe of the song, and how to make it easy to dance in.

Kotori

*Sigh* What should I do? I gotta hurry up and decide on costumes that'll look great on everyone, yet I'm still struggling.

Option 2: “You don't normally have that much trouble.”

Player

It's rare for you to have so much trouble coming up with costumes, Kotori.

Kotori

Really? I have trouble deciding all the time. But when I'm hit with inspiration then I can picture everything to the smallest details. It's different this time, though.

Player

Kotori, in times like this…

Kotori

In times like this?

Player

It might be best to just completely stop thinking altogether!

Kotori

Whaaat?! I-I should stop?

Player

Constantly racking your brain is tiring, right? That's why I think it'd be good to take a break or, like, reset your brain.

Player

You could do something fun, or eat something tasty. Then, while you're doing that, an idea might hit you out of the blue.

Kotori

Resetting my brain, huh? You might be right about me being tired since I've been thinking about costume designs for entire days lately.

Kotori

Thanks. I'm glad I got to see you today. I'll try taking a little break too, to help me come up with some beautiful costumes.

Player

You're welcome. And now for your break, I present to you some snacks!

Kotori

N-No way! It's the bite-sized baked cheesecakes from the sweets shop that's been trending online and on TV lately! Those popular cakes sell out within an hour of opening!

Player

You mentioned wanting to eat them the other day, right? I brought some here as a treat for everyone in ÎĽ's. Have something sweet to crank those brain gears up! Go on.

Kotori

B-But I can't help myself without waiting for everyone else…

Player

It's okay to have a little bit. I made sure to buy more than enough. This is for ÎĽ's' costumes. No, for the success of the live show! It's okay, I won't tell anyone.

Kotori

R-Really? Well, okay…

Kotori

Um, hey?

Player

Hm?

Kotori

Just curious. How many am I allowed to eat?

Player

Oh, Kotori. What will I ever do with you? About five of them?

Kotori

Five, right? Got it! Digging in!
