KAITO

Listen

Hmm, they're not on the stage either.
Where else have I not looked?

Miku

Listen

Huh? Is something wrong, KAITO?
Today's show won't be starting for a while yet, right?

KAITO

Hello, Miku. Actually, you came at just the right time.

KAITO

Listen

Have you seen a doggie and kitty plushie anywhere around?

Miku

Listen

You mean the plushies who had a fight with each other just the other day?

KAITO

No, I'm looking for a different pair right now.
But I guess you could say this pair was having a bit of trouble too...

KAITO

With everything that was going on with Tsukasa and Rui, it didn't feel right to leave them be, so I asked them what had happened, and...

KAITO

Listen

Phew. That was a good show we put on today.
Now, to prepare for tomorrow's show... Hm?

Kitty Plushie

Ugh... Sniff...

Doggie Plushie

I told you, it's pointless to cry!

KAITO

What's going on?
Did you get into a fight again?

Doggie Plushie

We're not fighting!
It's just that kitty's being indecisive again!

Kitty Plushie

I-I'm sorry...

Doggie Plushie

What're you sorry for?!

KAITO

Listen

Alright, calm down.
Can you tell me what happened?

Doggie Plushie

There's nothing to tell!

Doggie Plushie

Kitty, you're always like this when we get together to discuss the show!

Doggie Plushie

It's obvious you're thinking hard about something, but in the end, you never tell us what it is!

Doggie Plushie

If you have something to say, just say it!

KAITO

Listen

I see now... Then all the more we should try to find out what's on kitty's mind, right?

KAITO

Doggie, I know you have a lot of things to say, but could I trouble you to control yourself for a short while?

Doggie Plushie

Fine...

Kitty Plushie

...

KAITO

It's alright.
Doggie and I will listen to you without interrupting.

KAITO

Listen

So, go on, tell us what's on your mind.
What do you want to do?

Kitty Plushie

Sniff... But...

KAITO

Listen

Don't worry. Just tell us.

Kitty Plushie

Okay...

Kitty Plushie

I...I want to be friends with everyone too...

Doggie Plushie

I told you—

KAITO

Now, now, you promised to control yourself, didn't you? Let kitty finish.

Doggie Plushie

Right...

KAITO

Listen

Kitty, please continue.

Kitty Plushie

I want to be friends, but I'm worried that I'll say something weird and end up being an outcast... That would hurt me more than being alone...

Kitty Plushie

That's why I...I just can't bring myself to speak my mind...

KAITO

Listen

Ah... You're afraid of being alone.

KAITO

But you shouldn't worry, because you already have a friend right here, don't you?

Kitty Plushie

I do?

Doggie Plushie

...

KAITO

Doggie's always trying to get you to speak up because it wants to know what's on your mind. This means that doggie is concerned about you.

KAITO

Listen

That also means that it wants to get to know you better, don't you agree?

Kitty Plushie

Get to know me better?

KAITO

Yes. So now all that's left for you to do is to pluck up the courage to speak.

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

Miku

Ah, that was very nice of them.

KAITO

Listen

Yes. At that time, I felt like Rui's solitude was somewhat connected to the kitty plushie.

KAITO

That's why I wanted kitty to realize that it had a friend who was concerned about it.

Miku

Listen

Hmm... Ah!

Miku

Are those the plushies you were looking for?

KAITO

Listen

Oh! Yes, that's them right there.
Looks like they're talking about something.

Doggie Plushie

This is the scene where I take down the demon lord! I want to look super cool doing it!

Kitty Plushie

Um, then... Maybe...

Doggie Plushie

Take your time to come up with something good. I've recently learned how to wait!

Kitty Plushie

Hehe. Okay!

KAITO

I think things are fine between them now.

Miku

Listen

Yups♪ And that's awesome!

KAITO

Listen

A place where you can put on the show of your life, along with friends who will support that, huh?

KAITO

I hope it's going well between Rui and his friends too.
