However, as you can see, I'm not young...
Traveling around from place to place takes its toll.

But I'm satisfied.
I started this carnival with the dream of putting smiles on the faces of people all over.

Yes. Even today, I got to see all these guests smile and laugh.
That includes you kids.

I see...
It is unfortunate to hear that such a wonderful carnival is going to be closing its gates... But I also believe that you've made a large number of people very happy.

The final day is two weeks from now.
You're all more than welcome to visit if you're free then.

Agreed! We shall return to this carnival and witness what is surely going to be a spectacular finale!
Inuyama
If only we could do that show...
Then we'd be able to give this carnival the send-off it deserves.

Inuyama
So, to celebrate the opening of this carnival, we put on a show for the first week. The staff and I came up with it together...
Inuyama
But we'd never done anything like that before in our lives. Through trial and error, we wrote a script, designed all the costumes and whatnot. It was quite an ordeal...
Inuyama
The audience clearly enjoyed our show.
I saw the carnival guests all smiling and laughing. It was the moment I realized that this is how dreams are made.

Inuyama
Yes, and I was hoping that we could put it on one last time before the carnival closes for good... But we can't...
Inuyama
Not only were we not able to find a full copy of the script, the costumes also need repairs. Those and a few other factors brought us to the conclusion that it won't be possible.
Inuyama
You might think we should simply put on a brand-new show... But only that show from our beginnings would hold any real meaning as this carnival's final spectacle.
Inuyama
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't be talking about something so negative to a group of guests.

Tsukasa
If you don't feel comfortable with this, Mr. Inuyama, I'll understand... But would you allow me to put on this show?
Tsukasa
I've actually been a cast member at an amusement park, and I was incredibly touched by your story just now.
Tsukasa
I understand what you meant when you talked about wanting to see everyone smile and not being able to forget that sensation you felt.

Airi
You've made a lot of people smile up until now, Mr. Inuyama. So, I want to make sure you're smiling wide at the finale!
Inuyama
I appreciate the kind offer...
But as I just mentioned, we don't even have a full copy of the script.

I'll do something about the script.
I can try to reconstruct the story based on everything you can remember!

As for the costumes, I might be able to help. If you have pictures or any other references for what they used to look like, I should be able to restore them!
Inuyama
I know it's beyond unreasonable to ask people who I just met to help me with this.
But...
