Riko #44: Symphony
Player
(Okay, so this is where we're meeting. And Riko's…not here yet.)
Player
(I'm going to see a classical orchestra concert with Riko today. I was so happy when she invited me!)
Riko
*Pant* *Pant* S-Sorry I'm late!
Player
Riko! It's totally fine, I just got here myself.
Riko
Y-Yeah?
Riko
Phew, thank goodness.
Player
Are you okay? Want us to sit down somewhere?
Riko
Oh no, I'm fine, thanks.
Option 1: “Good to hear.” |

Player Well, let's go into the concert hall. Riko Yeah. They're about to open up, so let's head over. |
Option 2: “Really?” |
Player There's seats in the concert hall, so how about we sit down and rest a little? Riko Thank you. Riko Ahh, my hair's all messed up. And I spent so much time on it, too! |
[Fade in/out.]
Player
Wow, there's so many people!
Riko
So the orchestra playing today is a really famous group, even abroad. I guess they'd really draw a crowd.
Player
Oh, I see. I only listen to classical music through CDs and videos, so I'm really glad I get to see such a famous group's performance in person today!
Player
Thank you so much for inviting me today, Riko!
Riko
O-Oh, not at all! I mean…
Riko
I've been looking forward to today for so long, myself.
Riko
I was looking forward to the concert, but…
Riko
I was also looking forward to, um. It being just the two of us, like thi–
Player
Huh? We were just kind of walking with the crowd, but aren't our seats over there?
Player
Oh, sorry Riko, were you saying something?
Riko
Ah, nothing.
[Fade in/out.]
Player
That was amazing!
Riko
Wasn't it? That performance really shook my heart!
Player
It's totally different from CDs or videos! You get completely engulfed in music, and it feels like you're a part of the performance.
Riko
The violins, the flutes, the double bass, the piano, the horns.
All sorts of instruments came together in perfect harmony, creating a world of its own.
Player
Different sounds coming together in harmony. You know, that's just like Aqours.
Riko
It is?
Player
Yeah. All different types of girls get together to make a single song, a single world.
Riko
Hey, you're right. So we've made a bunch of worlds, then.
Player
And you really move the people who listen to you, too, just like today's orchestra!
Riko
*Giggle* I think comparing us to an orchestra is a bit much, though.
Riko
But if songs from a band of girls with totally different personalities and ideas like us might have moved someone, then…
Riko
Well, there's just nothing better than that.
