Part 1

Stage SEKAI
1
Haruka
Oh! MEIKO, KAITO, hello.
2
MEIKO
Welcome, Haruka♪
3
KAITO
You look like you're in a good mood.
Did something nice happen?
4
Haruka
Yes, actually. We got a job request in for the first time in a while. It's just for a local radio station, though.
5
MEIKO
Are you thinking you'll take it?
6
Haruka
Yes. We'll have a proper meeting with the client soon, so we'll respond officially then.
7
Haruka
It sounds like they reached out to us after seeing Shizuku's commercial, so I want to be sure to deliver what they're looking for.
8
MEIKO
I hope this leads to a lot more work coming your way!
9
Haruka
Me too.
10
Haruka
I don't want to make my mom and dad worry, after all...
11
KAITO
Your parents?
12
Haruka
Oh, I'm sorry.
13
Haruka
The thing is, whenever we appear on TV, I ask my parents to be sure to record it.
14
Haruka
With no requests coming in, I haven't had anything to ask them to record for us...
15
Haruka
They've noticed, of course, and they seem a little concerned.
16
Haruka
If I told them the truth, that we're not getting any work at all, I know they would be worried for us.
17
Haruka
So I've just said we're focusing on streaming and finding our future direction right now.
18
KAITO
I see...
19
Haruka
(I haven't lied to my parents. Not really.
We just wrapped up the “MORE MORE WEEK” plan of streaming every day for a week in a row, after all.)
20
Haruka
(But I can't play the current situation off forever.)
21
Haruka
(I just hope we get more offers in like this radio job, so I don't have to anymore...)
22
Haruka
Huh?
23
MEIKO
That light just now...
That looked like feeling sparks.
24
KAITO
I think you're right about that. Look, see there...
25
MEIKO
You're right.
It must be a fragment of a feeling.
26
Haruka
This glass shard is a fragment of a feeling? But the one I saw before was round...
27
MEIKO
Yes, they're meant to be round. So this is more like a... A shard of a feeling, I suppose?
28
KAITO
Still, something feels strange about this. Suddenly glowing like that... It's like it wanted us to find it.
29
Haruka
...
30
Haruka
When you touch a fragment of a feeling, you can find out what emotion gave birth to it, right?
31
Haruka
If I touch it, maybe we'll learn more.
32
MEIKO
You mean to enter its SEKAI, then?
33
Haruka
Yes. Like KAITO said, I feel like it's not a coincidence we found it...
34
MEIKO
Okay then! In that case, we'll come with you♪
35
Haruka
MEIKO, KAITO, thank you both!
36
Haruka
Okay, here we go.
???
37
Haruka
So this is the SEKAI of that shard of a feeling?
38
MEIKO
It's so misty, I can't see very much... But there's greenery here. It seems like a nice place.
39
KAITO
Right.
Hm?
40
MEIKO
Aah! Th-There's someone there!
41
Haruka
...!
42
KAITO
Huh? This girl reminds me of Haruka...
43
Haruka
She's... Me, when I was little...?
44
Haruka?
Good for you.
45
Haruka?
You didn't make Mommy and Daddy sad this time.
46
Haruka
...!
47
MEIKO
Haruka?
48
Haruka?
But we will make them sad again, for sure.
49
Haruka?
As long as I'm an idol...
50
Haruka
That's not...
51
Haruka?
If you really love Mommy and Daddy...
52
Haruka?
Then you should quit being an idol forever.
53
Haruka
Wait!
54
Haruka
Ah!
55
KAITO
I-I can't see!
56
MEIKO
Haruka?!
57
MEIKO
Thank goodness! Haruka, are you o...
58
KAITO
Wait... Something feels different.
59
???
Where did she go? The little me...
60
???
Huh? Why am I over there?
61
MEIKO
Wait, are you Haruka?!
62
Haruka
Yes, that's right...
63
KAITO & MEIKO
Haruka and Haruka swapped bodies?!
