Rui

Listen

Now that we've concluded our Halloween show with great success, it's time to start thinking about the direction for the next show.
2

Rui

Listen

Though, that's actually more or less settled.
I guess the main issue is the wire-flying part...
3

Rui

Listen

(We've been using it as a way to jump on the stage so far, but it may be interesting to add in some of those flying parts often seen at male idol shows.)
4

Rui

Listen

(It won't be free-form flying, but we can at least make it look like the character is flying out from the stage.)
5

Rui

Listen

(What I'm concerned about is how that will appear to the audience seated in different positions. I'll need to coordinate it with the lighting as well.)
6

Rui

Listen

(Of course, there's also the matter of safety.)
7

Rui

Listen

(The more wires we use or the more people on the fly system, the higher the risk of entanglement and accidents.)
8

Rui

Listen

(But it creates a greater impact when multiple people do it. A scene like that would be unforgettable.)
9

Rui

Listen

(For future applications, we should probably design the system to be able to accommodate multiple people.)
10

Rui

Listen

I'm going to need to do more tests and verifications. Which means my next step will be...
11

Nene

Listen

Rui... We're here.
12

Rui

Listen

Oh, right. Robo-Nene's due for maintenance today.
13

Rui

Listen

I'm sorry. I was so engrossed in thinking about the next stage production that I'd forgotten about it.
14

Nene

Listen

No problem. It wouldn't be the first time you've ever forgotten to eat or sleep because of that, anyway.
15

Rui

Listen

Hehe, you're absolutely right.
16

Rui

Listen

Well then, let me get started on the maintenance now.
17

Nene

Listen

Okay, thanks. Oh...
18

Nene

Listen

Rui, are these drawings on the table about the fly system we were talking about the other day?
19

Nene

Listen

We'll be incorporating that into the next show?
20

Rui

Listen

No, I haven't decided yet.
21

Rui

Listen

I've yet to come up with firm plans that will ensure a good balance of visual presentation, lighting, and safety.
22

Nene

Listen

Safety...
23

Nene

Listen

Are you still feeling bad about what happened? That Tsukasa got injured.
24

Rui

Listen

It would be a lie for me to say that it doesn't bother me anymore, but this is somewhat different.
25

Nene

Listen

How is it different?
26

Rui

Listen

What you're worried about is whether I'm being overly affected by it, right?
27

Nene

Listen

Well, yes...
28

Rui

Listen

Then you can rest assured.
After all, thanks to you and Emu, I managed to talk things out with Tsukasa.
29

Rui

Listen

(It's just that, as a director, I should never take the actors on stage for granted.)
30

Rui

Listen

(Especially for someone like Tsukasa, who's willing to go along with anything I ask him to do.)
31

Nene

Listen

I see. So am I right to say you're just thinking ahead?
32

Rui

Listen

Of course you are.
33

Nene

Listen

I'm glad you're feeling yourself again, then.
34

Rui

Listen

Alright. That's all for Robo-Nene's maintenance.
35

Nene

Listen

Thanks. Well, I should head home now.
36

Rui

Listen

Oh, just a minute, Nene.
37

Nene

Listen

What is it?
38

Rui

Listen

When I had that fight with Tsukasa, your suggestion to visit SEKAI really helped.
39

Rui

Listen

I definitely wouldn't have been able to resolve that problem on my own. So I appreciated that.
40

Nene

Listen

Well, KAITO was the one who gave you the advice you needed, though.
41

Rui

Listen

Heheh. Still, if you hadn't made the suggestion, I would still be stuck in a rut of worries by myself right now.
42

Rui

Listen

That's why I just wanted to say how grateful I am again.
43

Rui

Listen

Thank you, Nene.
44

Nene

Listen

Yeah. You're very welcome.
45

Nene

Listen

I'm looking forward to see how you'll direct the next show.
46

Rui

Listen

Yes. I promised Tsukasa and Emu too, after all. You can expect to see great things indeed.
