What a wonderful show!

I wouldn't mind seeing it again right now!

2
Character icon
Nene

Yeah, me too. Right, Emu?

3
Character icon
Emu

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

4
Character icon
Rui

Emu?

5
Character icon
Nene

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

6
Character icon
Rui

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

7
Character icon
Nene

Oh, now that you mention it.

8
Character icon
Nene

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

9
Character icon
Rui

That's not very nice...

10
Character icon
Rui

(Still...)

11
Character icon
Emu

Right!

I promise to learn as much as I can!

12
Character icon
Riley

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
Character icon
Emu

What?!

14
Character icon
Emu

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
Character icon
Rui

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

16
Character icon
Nene

Huh?

17
Character icon
Rui

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

18
Character icon
Rui

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

19
Character icon
Nene

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

20
Character icon
Rui

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

21
Character icon
Rui

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

22
Character icon
Nene

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

23
Character icon
Rui

That could very well be the case.

24
Character icon
Emu

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

25
Character icon
Emu

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

26
Character icon
Emu

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

27
Character icon
Rui

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

28
Character icon
Rui

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

29
Character icon
Rui

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

30
Character icon
Nene

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

31
Character icon
Rui

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

32
Character icon
Rui

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

33
Character icon
Nene

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

34
Character icon
Emu

Sour face...!

35
Character icon
Lost Girl

!

36
Character icon
Emu

Spicy face!

37
Character icon
Emu

Yummy face☆

38
Character icon
Nene

H-Hehe. There's our usual Emu.

39
Character icon
Rui

Yes, as bright as ever too.

40
Character icon
Rui

(Maybe I'm overthinking this...)

41
Character icon
Nene

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
Character icon
Rui

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

43
Character icon
Emu

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

44
Character icon
Rui

Yes, well...

45
Character icon
Rui

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

46
Character icon
Emu

How realistic?

47
Character icon
Rui

...

48
Character icon
Nene

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

49
Character icon
Rui

No, I saw that too.

50
Character icon
Tsukasa

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

51
Character icon
Nene

We aren't dragging our feet.

We're just concerned...

52
Character icon
Tsukasa

About Emu?

53
Character icon
Tsukasa

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

54
Character icon
Tsukasa

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

55
Character icon
Nene

Oh, you noticed too...?

56
Character icon
Rui

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

57
Character icon
Nene

Right.

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

58
Character icon
Rui

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