Everyone
One, two, three, four!
KAITO
Hehe. You're most welcome.
KAITO
(Now, how's the script team doing...?)
Rui
The protagonist and the girl are supposed to become better friends here, but it feels thin at this point. If possible, I'd like to spice it up somehow.
Tsukasa
So what if the protagonist is able to make new friends because of this girl or becomes closer to this uncle they're living with...?
KAITO
(Looks like they're having a productive discussion as well.)

(And that SEKAI. That tree...
It glistened with everyone's thoughts and feelings.)

KAITO
I'll gladly join your discussion.
Can you tell me what kind of story you're trying to tell?
Can you tell me what kind of story you're trying to tell?
Tsukasa
Yes. Our protagonist is an introverted girl who plans to spend her spring break by just reading.
Tsukasa
However, her parents have quite a lot to prepare as they're about to welcome a new family member into the world.
Tsukasa
For the time being, the girl is sent off to the countryside to live with her uncle and his wife.
Rui
But she has trouble adjusting to this new environment. Not only that, she starts feeling lonely because there aren't any other children her age in this village.
Rui
As a result, she's driven towards trying to find her way back to her beloved parents all on her own.
Rui
As she ventures up the mountain on her uncle's property, she comes across a girl her age named Some sitting under a cherry blossom tree.
Tsukasa
As such, she's able to conjure up cherry blossoms from her hands and even cause petal blizzards.
Tsukasa
Our protagonist is drawn towards Some's wondrous powers and they soon become friends.
Rui
But as they grow closer, we're thinking that she'll begin figuring out Some's true identity.
Rui
After Some and the protagonist become friends, they promise to meet again the next day and she heads back to her uncle's home.
Rui
But one night, her uncle goes out to gather some herbs from the mountain and shows no signs of returning.
KAITO
I see. What happens next?
Tsukasa
The protagonist begins blaming herself for saying, “I want to try those herbs again.” Thus, she feels responsible and goes out searching for him.
Tsukasa
However, the night is no time for a girl to be searching a mountain alone, and she soon becomes lost as a result.
Rui
She decided to help search for the protagonist's uncle by calling out to her Somei-yoshino siblings who also live in the mountains.
KAITO
Oh, that's right. I've heard a story that Somei-yoshino cherry blossoms originate from just one tree.
Rui
Hehe. Emu will be playing the role of Some, and I'm thinking about having multiple copies of her during this scene.
KAITO
Wait, multiple copies of Emu?
Rui
Ultimately, the location of the protagonist's injured uncle will be revealed thanks to Some's help.
Rui
And a path lined with cherry blossom petals will guide them back to the villagers who've been searching for them.
Tsukasa
However, we're having trouble with the scene where Some and the protagonist have to say goodbye to each other.
Rui
Despite promising to meet again next spring, the somberness of having to part ways seems to overpower everything else because they've become such close friends.
KAITO
Hmm... Meeting again next spring...
Tsukasa
Yes. As it stands, we've made it so Some can only appear when the cherry blossoms are in bloom.
KAITO
(If I were a cherry blossom spirit...)

KAITO
Some wants to meet this girl again, yes? It might be good to make it so she doesn't have to wait the entire time.

KAITO
For example, Some could try finding a way to gather enough energy to make the cherry blossoms look even more beautiful the following year...
KAITO
It could be her way of making the cherry blossoms stay in bloom longer so that she can be with her friend as much as possible.
KAITO
I'm sure Some would want to do everything in her power for her precious friend.
Tsukasa
That's fantastic...! Alright, that means the protagonist should also have a goal to work towards.
Rui
Yes, I agree... What if she finds the resolve to become a good older sister for her new sibling?
KAITO
I'm sure it's going to be a wonderful story. I'll be looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
