Rui

Listen

What do you mean?
Is this what I want from this show...?
2

Rui

Listen

I wouldn't be expending my energy on something I don't intend on doing.
3

Tsukasa

Listen

Yes. That's the kind of person you are. You wouldn't be doing something if you didn't really want to...
4

Rui

Listen

Right?
5

Tsukasa

Listen

However, you've been directing differently as compared to usual.
6

Rui

Listen

Differently...?
7

Rui

Listen

I'm making adjustments to ensure that the audience feels just as frightened as the park director does here.
8

Tsukasa

Listen

That's something you would say too...
9

Tsukasa

Listen

But it's clear that this isn't what you actually want to do.
10

Tsukasa

Listen

You seemed to be really enjoying yourself the first time you talked to me about using the trap room...
11

Tsukasa

Listen

But since we had that accident, the spark from your eyes has gone.
12

Tsukasa

Listen

The way you've been telling me how this or that would be better for the audience sounds like you trying to persuade yourself.
13

Tsukasa

Listen

Am I wrong...?
14

Rui

Listen

I'm trying to persuade myself...?
15

Rui

Listen

Oh, but I'm not.
I do believe this is the best way to go.
16

Tsukasa

Listen

Quit lying!
17

Rui

Listen

...?!
18

Emu

Listen

T-Tsukasa...?!
19

Tsukasa

Listen

You've been peeling back on what you want to do because I got hurt last time!

Rui

Listen

But you have me mistaken, Tsukasa.
I... I'm making changes to improve the show...
21

Tsukasa

Listen

And I'm telling you to quit lying like that!
22

Tsukasa

Listen

I told you that I'm going to make the most of the role you've given me. I'll pull off whatever you throw at me, no matter how tricky it might be!
23

Tsukasa

Listen

We have the potential to put on a jaw-dropping show, but you're holding back!
24

Rui

Listen

I'm not holding back! How many times do I have to repeat myself like this?
25

Emu

Listen

S... STOP!
26

Emu

Listen

Will you two stop fighting?! Please...?
27

Nene

Listen

Y-Yeah...
You two need to cool off.
28

Rui

Listen

...
29

Tsukasa

Listen

I'm sorry I raised my voice...

Tsukasa

Listen

But Rui isn't himself today.
It's clear as day.
31

Rui

Listen

How can that...?
32

Rui

Listen

...
33

Tsukasa

Listen

We both need to clear our heads...
This show won't be going anywhere otherwise.
34

Tsukasa

Listen

I'll see you later.

Emu

Listen

Huh, you're leaving?
Tsukasa, wait...!

36

Nene

Listen

Oh...
37

Rui

Listen

Do you think so too, Nene...?
38

Nene

Listen

Huh?
39

Rui

Listen

Am I acting differently than normal?
40

Nene

Listen

Well...
41

Nene

Listen

Yes.
There's something off about you today.
42

Nene

Listen

You seemed to be having a great time lately.
There was this glint in your eyes...
43

Nene

Listen

But now it's gone.
44

Rui

Listen

I see...
45

Rui

Listen

I don't really know what to do...
46

Rui

Listen

I never thought I would try to cut corners when it came to producing a show...
47

Rui

Listen

But according to you and Tsukasa, that's what I've been doing.
48

Nene

Listen

(Rui seems to be completely oblivious to the fact that he's holding back because he's worried.)
49

Nene

Listen

(I have to help him realize that.)

Nene

Listen

...
51

Nene

Listen

(But I couldn't do anything back then either... Will it be any different this time?)
52

Nene

Listen

(No, I need to do something.
If I don't, he'll end up all by himself again.)
53

Nene

Listen

Oh...

54

Nene

Listen

Rui, why don't we go over to SEKAI?
55

Rui

Listen

SEKAI?
56

Nene

Listen

Yeah. Let's visit Miku and her friends for some advice.
57

Rui

Listen

Asking for tips about our shows is one thing, but personal troubles...?
58

Rui

Listen

I don't even know how to put my problem into words.
59

Nene

Listen

But you feel that if things continue like this, we won't be able to put on a worthwhile show, right?
60

Nene

Listen

I think Tsukasa got so worked up because he saw this too.
61

Nene

Listen

Miku and the others always lend us an ear.
Let's go and talk to them about this.
62

Nene

Listen

Don't you want to do this show together and make it the best it can be?
63

Rui

Listen

...
64

Rui

Listen

Alright, I understand. Let's go, Nene.

Len

Listen

Easy now...! Let's all take a deep breath! Give each other some space too!
66

KAITO

Listen

What's going on here? Len? Miku?
67

Len

Listen

I organized a show for the plushies, but they started fighting again.
68

Doggie Plushie

I want to make the show better!
Why aren't you letting me?!
69

Kitty Plushie

But you'll get hurt if you do something like that!
70

Miku

Listen

Hey, don't do that! Stop!
71

KAITO

Listen

Oh my. They've become quite the handful.
72

Len

Listen

Yeah... But I guess it was unavoidable.
73

Miku

Listen

Oh? Why do you say that?
74

Len

Listen

I realized something while I was making this show. It's too easy to get worked up and fixated on your own ideas for making a performance great, isn't it?
75

Len

Listen

And that your ideas might conflict with someone else's...
76

KAITO

Listen

Yes, that is true.
Hm...?
77

Miku

Listen

Isn't that Rui and Nene over there?
78

Len

Listen

They seem a little down.
I wonder what happened...
79

KAITO

Listen

You guys wait here.
80

KAITO

Listen

I'll go and talk to them.
81

KAITO

Listen

Can you come with me, plushies?
82

Plushies
