Rina #890: Myself in the Photo
Player
Wow, how beautiful!
Rina
Yeah, isn't it lovely how the sunset lights up the sea and the town?
| Option 1: “It's moving just looking at it.” |

| Player Seeing the beach at sunset like this moves me in ways I can't put into words. Rina I know what you mean. I guess they call it emotional? |
| Option 2: “The early spring sea is so comforting.” |
| Player The sea air feels good. The early spring sea is so comforting. Rina I looked for good places to come in spring online. I'm glad I came with you. |
Rina
I want to record this beautiful view forever… There!
Rina
Yup, that's a nice shot.
Player
Lemme see! Wow, the sun-bathed townscape and the sparkling water look so beautiful. What a nice photo.
Rina
Thanks. It's nice to hear you say that.
Rina
Why don't I take one with you in it next? A photo with a subject in it will have a totally different feel.
Player
I don't mind. It's kind of embarrassing having my photo taken by myself though. I don't know what kind of face I should make.
Rina
That's tough, isn't it? I'm not very good at having my photo taken either. Even when I'm having fun, I'm not very good at wearing that expression on my face.
Player
Now that you mention it, you've started taking a lot of photos lately, Rina. What caused that?
Rina
Well, when I went to hang out with Asagi the other day we took photos together.
Rina
When they saw the photos, Asagi and the others said I looked like I was having a lot of fun.
Player
Having fun?
Rina
Yeah. My face was the same as always, but they said you could tell the atmosphere was relaxed just from the photos.
Rina
So when I got home, I compared them to my old photos, and I think I understand why they said that.
Rina
I've started standing closer to everyone else than before. And unlike before, I look like I'm enjoying myself.
Rina
Before, even when I was having fun when the photo was taken, I didn't look like that in them.
Rina
But I feel like lately you can feel the fun I'm having through the photos.
Rina
So I realized looking at my old photos that I must have changed somewhere along the way.
[Fade in/out.]
Rina
Since I met everyone and became a school idol, the version of me you see in the photos has changed little by little.
Rina
Even now, I can't express my emotions on my face very well, but…
Rina
I've realized that inside, even if not on my face, I've gradually become able to express my emotions.
Rina
So I like taking photos more now. And I want to take lots and lots of them!
Player
I see. Let's take one together then. I want to keep a record of this moment with you too, Rina. Is that okay?
Rina
I'd be delighted. Let's do it.
