Week Four
[Last week, Gershwin High School Academy University saw its very first intentional murder! What a milestone! And right after Spongebob's No Murder party, too - that doesn't seem like it bodes very well for anybody's future.
You all wake up this morning with yet another new memory returned to you. You'll also find that the school's external doors have now unlocked. Congratulations! You're free! Unfortunately, you also seem to be entirely in the middle of nowhere. So maybe it's more of a symbolic victory.
Still, you should look around and do some investigation! Maybe you'll find a fun surprise.]

“Although I'm a small, small bud now
The day will come when I'll bloom
Into a big flower”
Even though the song isn’t one she remembers hearing before she recognizes that voice instantly. ]
Ah— that’s definitely Ayumu-san.
[ It’s weird - hearing the voice of someone she hasn’t seen in what feels like forever now. ]
no subject
But it's a good different. He likes it.]
This is a really happy sounding song.
no subject
[ "My days used to be boring and melancholic
But since then I've forgotten all about it
Now it's hectic but also fun
These new days will continue" ]
Actually, now that I think about it... if it weren't for Ayumu-san I might not have even heard about school idols. I heard about it for the first time when she and her friend Yu-san were looking for the club and asked me if I knew where it was.
[ "Although I still can't find the answer to it
Let's keep growing together
From now and forever" ]
no subject
[Like a fairy or a bunny...cute. He doubts he'll ever meet Ayumu, but he's thankful to her. She's given Rina a lot of good memories to fall back on, which she deserves to have.]
no subject
[ Though sorry Ayumu, she's pressing skip. She'll give this song a proper listen later. Afterwards an even more upbeat song starts to play.
"Yay! Yay! Let's go everyone!
Come on, Come on, Wonderland!
A happy Wonderland for everyone!" ]
...That's definitely Kasumi-san.
[ Yeah she's. Pressing skip. Immediately. SORRY KASUMI BUT YOU'RE TOO CUTE... YOU COULD BE COMPETITION. The other song afterwards is significantly more mellow and elegant.
"Even the Audrey I adore
Had to have felt so lonely
But with how radiant her gaze is
I can't begin to imagine it" ]
And that's Shizuku-san...
[ She'll let that one play... for now. ]
They're both in the same grade as me - Kasumi-san wants to be the cutest idol in the universe and Shizuku-san is also in the drama club and wants to become an actress.
I'd say the three of us get along pretty well... being the youngest members and all. Kasumi-san even calls us "Shizuko" and "Rinako".
no subject
You know, I don't think I ever asked you how many others are in your club...
no subject
"Today was again like one of those stories of fluttering away
I feel like I was left behind
That honest smile, that always gave itself over to its feelings,
is far away" ]
Umm... including me there's about... 10 of us. Though only 9 of us are idols. Yu-san is in the club but she's more of a... support role? She doesn't want to be an idol, but she loves them and she helps us with everything. She even comes along to practice.
[ And she's also going to compose music for you in season 2 probably. ]
...Honestly it's hard to imagine things without her around. I actually... wanted to back out of my concert, you know. The day before. But everyone came to talk me out of it and Yu-san especially said a lot of things that helped. She even stayed up late and helped me finish the Rina-chan Board.
no subject
Well, if I ever get to meet these friends of yours, I'll have to thank them for helping you out so much.
And compliment them on their singing of course, because wow.
1/?
My ideal self seems to be closing by
Yet your wish being the first is fine for me
I am really fine with this. It should be that way... but why?" ]
I'd really like it if you could meet them. I don't know how it could happen but... they're all really precious to me, heehee. When we're together it's like we make a beautiful rainbow.
no subject
"My dearest
I can't push myself into your heart
But if you were to indulge me, just a little
Then hold me within your arms
The real me, who is weak until I fall apart" ]
no subject
Um... this one is Karin-senpai. She's...
no subject
no subject
........ ]
done
She's super hot.
[ RINA... ]
no subject
H-h-
[Varian would have choked if he weren't just sitting there doing nothing, good lord.]
I mean...she- definitely sounds like it...
1/2
Mm. She's one of our oldest members of the club and a model... lots of girls like her.
[ Hence why Rina doesn't feel unsure about letting Varian hear her: she's hot but also like. Older and out of most people's league. And gay.
They've lingered on this one too long though so she presses skip and... the next one makes her pause. ]
no subject
If we don't talk, we'd be wasting a great chance
Tell me more about yourself
Tell me the food you like and tell me your type" ]
......
[ "I love it when you're laughing
And I don't mind you when you're mad
But if I had to choose, a smile is better
So I'll try joking around next to you" ]
...That's Ai-san.
[ You know. The same Ai-san she mentioned was her only friend until she started getting memories back. ]
no subject
Varian's smile fades just a little as he leans forward, his arms folded over his knees.]
Ai...
[...]
She sounds exactly like how I imagined she might, somehow.
no subject
"I'll always, always stay near you, ok?
Never, never let go of me (together!)
Wherever we are, GO!"
It hurts. It hurts more than she thought this would. It just hammers in how long it's been since she's seen her best friend. ]
...She's the complete opposite of me, you know.
[ "That's right, You & I, it's always You & I
Together You & I, are quite dangerous You & I" ]
She makes friends with people so easily, it's like breathing for her. Everyone at school loves her.
[ "In other words, that's love, love, love
Everyone is my friend, my friend, my friend" ]
When she first started talking to me I was kind of scared because she's a year older... but she knew that. She knew right away without my face telling her that I was scared. It caught me really off guard.
[ "Because I love you, I'll always stand by you
I need you quite a lot, so why don't you stand by me" ]
She... always knows. She always knows exactly what I'm feeling, and I don't know how she does it. Sometimes it's like she knows me better than I do.
[ "Say!! Love, love, love
Come on!! Friendship, friendship, friendship
My BFF's!" ]
......I miss her.
no subject
I honestly...didn't know a whole lot about friendship, before. I didn't have any friends.
[He looks sidelong at her.]
I had Cass, Rapunzel, and Eugene, but...I didn't know anybody my age. But...if I've learned anything being here, it's that sometimes you meet people who are just...meant to be in your life.
[He puts his hands together, idly twiddling his thumbs.]
Even if you seem like complete opposites, you just click somehow. And Ai...she sounds like a really important friend just like that.
no subject
Mm... she... really is.
[ "Is this your first time coming here?
I will explain things nice and brief
But before that I will have
to ask for your name!"
She sniffles a little and then tries to wipe her eyes with her sleeves. ]
...Sorry, I don't- [ sniff ] mean to cry... and I don't think that... you're not important to me either. You and everyone else here...
no subject
Varian doesn't mind her leaning against him at all, and in fact encourages it. Especially when she starts to cry.]
No...it's okay. I mean...these are friends you've known a lot longer. You miss them.
[Especially Ai, he imagines. It must hurt, to make such good friends only to be taken from them...forced into this place with absolutely no one. At least Varian knew someone here, and even more still in Elsa.]
no subject
Don't leave your dreams as just dreams
That's the kind of place
We've come to make here”
She wipes her eyes a few more times. ]
I… I really do hope you can meet them. I know Ai-san would… Ai-san would really like you.
[ Ai likes everyone after all. ]
no subject
Hold on to that, Rina. Don't ever stop thinking that you'll get to see them again, okay? Even...even if I don't get to meet them...you will. I know you will.
no subject
"The things that you're not able to say
The things you think can't be helped
Everything like that you should forget it, don't hesitate" ]
...But...
[ A part of her still doesn't want to think about this but... ]
Would seeing them again... also mean never seeing you or the others again...?
