Rui

Listen

What a wonderful show!
I wouldn't mind seeing it again right now!
2

Nene

Listen

Yeah, me too. Right, Emu?
3

Emu

Listen

I think I counted twenty cast members, and the theatre had a capacity of...

Rui

Listen

Emu?
5

Nene

Listen

She's probably writing down what she felt because she liked it so much, right?
6

Rui

Listen

Hmm... I'm sure she is, but she also seems very preoccupied.
7

Nene

Listen

Oh, now that you mention it.
8

Nene

Listen

In your case, Rui, you get this creepy grin on your face whenever you're trying to come up with new ideas.
9

Rui

Listen

That's not very nice...
10

Rui

Listen

(Still...)

11

Emu

Listen

Right!
I promise to learn as much as I can!
12

Riley

Listen

Keisuke, Shosuke, you'll be coming with me to headquarters. Emu, I'd like you and your friends to go around and enjoy the park for the rest of the day.
13

Emu

Listen

What?!
14

Emu

Listen

I was really hoping to ask you some questions, Mr. Riley...! And maybe even see what your meeting with Keisuke and Shosuke's like...
15

Rui

Listen

Hmm... It's almost like Emu's trying to be more organized and responsible today...
16

Nene

Listen

Huh?
17

Rui

Listen

Emu usually relies on pathos to discuss or talk about things, no?
18

Rui

Listen

A prime example of this is how she described the show we just saw as being “extra exciting and super spectacular!”
19

Nene

Listen

It just doesn't feel right when you say it, but I think I get your point...
20

Rui

Listen

See what I mean? Her thought process is full of wonderfully creative and original ideas...
21

Rui

Listen

But it's as if she's deliberately trying to suppress that today...
22

Nene

Listen

Hmm... Doesn't it just mean she's trying to learn as much as she can for the sake of Phoenix Wonderland?
23

Rui

Listen

That could very well be the case.

24

Emu

Listen

I'm sorry for not telling you all sooner...
25

Emu

Listen

I didn't want this to get in the way of trying to win the Show Contest...
26

Emu

Listen

I would've felt awful if it made everyone sad and... I couldn't bear doing that to you...
27

Rui

Listen

(In my opinion, Emu's at her best whenever she's one with her emotions...)
28

Rui

Listen

(But at times she'll show hints of absolute brilliance in terms of actively trying to make someone smile or laugh.)
29

Rui

Listen

(Some may call that childish, but I believe it's one of her best qualities.)
30

Nene

Listen

What do you think? Should we go talk to her?
31

Rui

Listen

No, we may want to sit back and observe for the time being...
32

Rui

Listen

She seemed to genuinely enjoy the show, so she does appear to be having fun to some degree.
33

Nene

Listen

Right. I wouldn't want to get in the way of her process or whatever it is she's doing.
34

Emu

Listen

Sour face...!

Spicy face!
37

Emu

Listen

Yummy face☆

38

Nene

Listen

H-Hehe. There's our usual Emu.
39

Rui

Listen

Yes, as bright as ever too.
40

Rui

Listen

(Maybe I'm overthinking this...)
41

Nene

Listen

I can't believe they made it so the water forms waves since it doesn't look like it's open to the public like a wave pool or something, you know?
42

Rui

Listen

Yes, immersion must've been a top priority for them here. This beach alone lets you dive right into the story's narrative.
43

Emu

Listen

How do you think they did all this, you guys?!
44

Rui

Listen

Yes, well...
45

Rui

Listen

I suppose it begins with how realistic the prospects of building an ocean such as this are.
46

Emu

Listen

How realistic?
47

Rui

Listen

...
48

Nene

Listen

Hey, is it me or did Emu look really sad just now?

49

Rui

Listen

No, I saw that too.
50

Tsukasa

Listen

Rui! Nene! Quit dragging your feet or we'll lose Emu and our little friend!
51

Nene

Listen

We aren't dragging our feet.
We're just concerned...
52

Tsukasa

Listen

About Emu?
53

Tsukasa

Listen

Hmm... Come to think of it, she has been writing down notes all day.
54

Tsukasa

Listen

I was sure that she'd run around the park today saying, “Everything's so fun and exciting and wonderhoy!”
55

Nene

Listen

Oh, you noticed too...?
56

Rui

Listen

However, we'll need to get that girl to the Compass Center first before asking Emu if anything's going on...
57

Nene

Listen

Right.
I'm sure family's worried sick about her.
58

Rui

Listen

Alright, let's catch up to them before we end up losing both Emu and our little friend.
