Nyamu

This is insane...! This is just too incredible!

Umiri

A giant wave pool, spa facilities, a movie theater, a golf course... Plus the hospitality of first-class concierges... I'm absolutely stunned.

Uika

A ship this luxurious actually exists... It feels like something straight out of a movie...!

Nyamu

Whoa! That one over there is a Broadway director! Crazy...

Umiri

Why don't you go say hello? Isn't this a chance to promote yourself?

Nyamu

Not really... Sucking up to people won't make me any better.

Umiri

Hmm, it seems you've had a change of heart.

Sakiko

Well then, everyone, our dressing room is over there. Please wait there until the performance begins...

Nyamu

Ehh, can't we have some free time? Sakiko is way too strict, huh.

Sakiko

Very well... Then, do as you please. But make sure you're back by the appointed time.

Umiri

This counts as networking too, Wakaba-san. Let's go.

Nyamu

Welp, see ya later♪

Sakiko

Seriously, you've got no sense of tension at all.

Uika

But I can understand how they feel. It's our first time on such a wonderful ship. Shall we look around a little, too?

Sakiko

Just for a little while, Uika.

Uika

Yeah.

Now, it is time for the dance. Everyone, please take your partners and come to the dance floor!

Nyamu

Everyone's dancing so well. Just as you'd expect from the upper class.

Umiri

What about us? For old times' sake, as the rhythm section.

Nyamu

Hah, very funny.

Hey, isn't that Mutsumi Wakaba? She really is just like a doll!

I heard she's accomplished not just in acting, but in ballet too. Won't someone ask her to dance?

Mutsumi

...

Umiri

Wakaba-san...?

Nyamu

Hey... You, that way is—

Uika

Wow... Everyone is amazing! Right, Saki-chan?

Sakiko

Yes. I'll be heading back to the dressing room ahead of you. You stay and enjoy yourself, Uika.

Uika

Huh? Then I'll go with you—

Excuse me, Uika-sama! If it's not too much trouble, would you chat with us for a bit?

Uika

Huh? Uh, um...

Sakiko

It's a rare invitation. Why don't you go talk with them? I'll go on ahead.

Uika

Ah, Saki-chan. I'll be there soon!

Sakiko

(For the sake of a perfect masquerade, I must read through the script once more...)

Good day to you...

Sakiko

Good day. Have you perhaps gotten separated from your parents?

—It's been a long time, Sister Sakiko.

Sakiko

...? Have we met before?

You've... forgotten? Uuu... uuuu...!

Sakiko

I'm sorry... What is your name?

My name...? You've forgotten even that?

Sakiko

Eek...!

When you grow up, when you become an adult, when you overcome hardships... do you forget?

—Even if you forget. We will never forget. Never.

Sakiko

What are you talking about...?

Sakiko

That spot is dangerous. The lights might shatter again. Come here.

Will you lend me your hand...?

Sakiko

Of course. Here.

Hehe, your hand... So small and pale... Come, let's dance, sister.

Sakiko

Wha—? W-Wait— Don't pull me.

Un, deux, trois... Un, deux, trois... You're very good at this, sister.

Doing this brings back memories.

Sakiko

But I told you, I've never met you—

Oh my. We used to practice like this all the time, didn't we?

In that piano room. Even when I said the lesson was over, you'd beg, "Just one more piece!" over and over...

Sakiko

How do you know that...?

How, you ask? I taught you, didn't I? —My dear little Sakiko-chan.

Sakiko

What...

Sakiko

Mo-Mother...?

To think you would even forget me... it's so sad.

Could it be that you've forgotten that day, too? When you practiced the piano for my birthday...

Sakiko

That's just impossible. Mother passed away...

Sakiko-chan. If you wish it, I can come see you anytime.

Sakiko

Am I dreaming?

Sakiko-chan, why won't you believe me? Then—

Tomori?

Saki-chan...

Sakiko

Tomori...? Why are you...?

Tomori?

Will you... dance with me?

Sakiko

(Is this a waking dream? Have I fallen into a dream without realizing it? So—)

Sakiko

(So that's why I can't shake off this hand?)

Tomori?

CRYCHIC was fun. Me and Saki-chan... everyone's light—

Tomori?

If only... somewhere along the way, we had been able to say our true feelings...

Tomori?

We could have all stayed connected.

Sakiko

...!

Sakiko

I...

Uika

It's been quite a while. I should head back to the dressing room too— huh?

Sakiko

...

Uika

Saki-chan...? Why are you dancing alone...? Saki-chan...!

Sakiko

...

Uika

Can't you hear me? Saki-chan! Saki-chan!

Tomori?

Even now... I want to go back...! Let's go back... Saki-chan.

Tomori?

Saki-chan, you want to go back to the past, too... don't you?

Sakiko

If only we had just stayed the same as we were—

Sakiko

I...

Tomori?

Hehe...
