Nene

“♪————...”

Nene

Listen

“H-Huh?!
Who's there...?!”
3

Nene

Listen

“N-No, stay away...!”
4

Nene

Listen

This doesn't feel like the right way to go...
5

Nene

Listen

(I wanna say that I've captured her fear of humans pretty well...)

Sakurako

Listen

“*Sigh*
As usual, day in and day out, this forest could not be more obnoxious.”
7

Sakurako

Listen

“Worst of all, I am unable to sleep the way I wish... And the way these trees shake is unbearable...”
8

Nene

Listen

(But I'm not really moving like a cowardly canary yet...)
9

Nene

Listen

(Which I need to fix. I have to get a better grasp of my character before we start practicing the scenes with her...!)
10

Nene

Listen

I should try searching for more canary videos again...

Sound Effect: Play

11

Nene

Listen

No, these are all about their calls...
12

Nene

Listen

I wanna see a video that shows their wary and standoffish nature, and how they fly away... But I'm struggling to find any.
13

Nene

Listen

(As much as I want to watch a real canary and learn how to act like one, I don't have that kind of time...)
14

Nene

Listen

(So, I should probably try watching the birds around me and figure out how to...)
15

Sparrow

Chirp, chirp!

Sound Effect: Play

16

Nene

Listen

Huh? A sparrow...?
Oh, it's on that tree branch...
17

Nene

Listen

(Oh, I can take a video of it flying.
I'll just turn my camera on and...)

Sound Effect: Play

18

Nene

Listen

(Okay, approach it...slowly...)
19

Nene

Listen

(Hm...? It's at full zoom...
But it's still tiny... I'll try getting closer and...)
20

Sparrow

...!
21

Nene

Listen

Oh no...

Sound Effect: Play

22

Nene

Listen

*Sigh*
It flew away...
We even made eye contact.
23

Nene

Listen

How did my video turn out? Oh, it's totally out of focus...
24

Nene

Listen

But that situation just now was really similar to the scene when Rio meets the canary. If I try a little harder, I might be able to take a better video...
25

Nene

Listen

Okay, let's give it a try...!
The next day

26

Nene

Listen

I spent a lot of yesterday trying to take better videos of sparrows...
27

Emu

Listen

But you couldn't?
28

Nene

Listen

Nope... My hope was to sort of do what you did with those ducks, Emu. But things didn't work out for me...
29

Nene

Listen

So, I was wondering if you could show me how to act more like the animal I'm trying to play without scaring them...
30

Emu

Listen

Sure, I'll be more than happy to help!
Easy peasy lemon cheesy♪
31

Nene

Listen

Hehe. Thanks.
But you probably meant “squeezy” not “cheesy”, right?
32

Emu

Listen

Hehe. Hey, look, a sparrow!
I'll try talking to it♪
33

Nene

Listen

Wait, lemme get my phone ready...
Okay, go for it!

Sound Effect: Play

34

Nene

Listen

(How Emu acts should also help me a lot. I need to watch them both closely...)
35

Emu

Listen

Chirp... Chirp, chirp.
36

Sparrow

Chirp...?

Sound Effect: Play

37

Nene

Listen

(The sparrow's looking at Emu...!)
38

Emu

Listen

Chirp, chirp-chirp, chirp♪
39

Nene

Listen

(Wait, Emu's sort of keeping her distance...)
40

Nene

Listen

(Is she doing that to give it a chance to not feel scared and become more comfortable with her...?)
41

Sparrow

Ch-Chirp...!
42

Nene

Listen

(Oh, it just took a step towards her...!)
43

Emu

Listen

Hehe. The way you hop with each step is so cute☆ Lemme try! Hop-hop♪
44

Sparrow

Chirp?!

45

Emu

Listen

Oh no! I'm sorry! Did that scare you?
46

Sparrow

Chirp...

47

Emu

Listen

Oh, it flew away...
48

Emu

Listen

Sorry, Nene...
I tried...
49

Nene

Listen

No, that was really helpful!
50

Nene

Listen

You made some good points about how it walks and stuff. Plus, I captured the moment it decided to fly away.
51

Nene

Listen

So, Emu, thank you very much!
52

Emu

Listen

Really?! Thank goodness!
53

Nene

Listen

So, um... If you don't mind...
54

Nene

Listen

I wanna try practicing what I just saw...
Would you mind watching what I do for a bit?
55

Emu

Listen

Of course☆ Oh, then!
Nene, would you mind listening to me sing? I'm kinda worried about how I sound right now...
56

Nene

Listen

Yeah, sure.
57

Emu

Listen

Yay! That means we get to teach each other!
