Character Story 7: The Last Day of Landsol?
Scene: A street in Landsol.
With a pale complexion, Hatsune appears before Yuuki, who had been having a peaceful day.
Hatsune
I finally found you! I've got terrible news!
Hatsune
I had a premonition!
Hatsune
You know what a premonition is, right? It's one of my psychic abilities that lets me see the future...
Yuuki
1. "I've also had dreams like that before."
2. "That's a very Hatsune-style psychic ability."
Option 1.
Hatsune
Really!? Are you also a psychic!?
Hatsune
... You dreamed about curry, so then you made curry for lunch? T-That's not a premonition!
Option 2.
Hatsune
Yeah, definitely! I was also using my psi in the premonition, so when I woke up, I felt sleepy again and went to sleep again...
Hatsune
W-Wait! This isn't the time to talk about that!
End of branches.
Hatsune
Listen! Landsol is going to disappear!
Hatsune
I saw it in my premonition! Landsol is going to be struck by a meteor! It's a super big one!
Hatsune
You don't believe me when I say that, do you? That kind of wild story...
Yuuki
1. "I believe you."
2. "I'd say I believe you halfway."
Option 1.
Hatsune
Really!? Thank you! You're really the best friend anyone could ask for!
Option 2.
Hatsune
Halfway? Hee hee, even just that makes me happy.
End of branches.
Hatsune
B-But, what should I do? If that happens, everyone will be in trouble... And if this city that I love were to be destroyed, it would be really sad...
Yuuki
1. "Why not tell everyone to evacuate?"
2. "Why not destroy the meteor?"
Option 1.
Hatsune
Right. At least, we can spare everyone some hardship... But nobody will believe me if I say that, will they?
Hatsune
I can't bring up my psi... And even if I did, I don't know if anyone would believe me anyway...
Option 2.
Hatsune
Eh!? How? I feel like that's impossible...
End of branches.
Hatsune
... What is it? Do you have an idea!? Huh? I can sleep a lot before?
Hatsune
Ah, that's right! If I sleep a lot beforehand, my psychic skills will become super strong!
Hatsune
And then, would I be able to destroy the meteor!? Or even if I can't destroy it, could I deflect its path so that it doesn't hit the city!?
Hatsune
Ahh, good idea! Just like you! Okay! Let's go prepare right away!
...
Hatsune
This is my favorite spot. It's really comfortable, so I can sleep super soundly!
Hatsune
Hey, you should also come nap with me. If I'm next to you, I'll be able to sleep really well... Would you?
Hatsune
You will? Thank you! Here, here, lie down right here. Good night...!
Scene: The countryside at night.
Hatsune
Yawn... I slept well! Yeah! My energy is 100% now!
Hatsune
Ah, you're still asleep...
Hatsune
... You should just stay asleep here. If I end up failing, then you should be safe here.
Hatsune
But I'll definitely succeed. I'll protect everyone in the city! With my fully-powered psychic abilities... Even if it costs me my life, I'll save Landsol.
Hatsune
......
Hatsune
... Thank you for always helping me.
Hatsune
For looking after me when I'm asleep, for keeping my psi a secret, for all of that...
Hatsune
Ever since I met you, every day has been so much fun.
Hatsune
Ah! And, just to be sure! If I do end up failing, if I end up being flattened by the meteor...
Hatsune
Please... Look after Shiori for me.
Hatsune
My super, super, super beloved little sister Shiori -- I can feel at ease leaving her in your care...
Hatsune
I'm sure that Shiori will be happy, as long as you're there by her side. And because of that, I can be happy, too.
Hatsune
Even though... It does make me a little bit... jealous. And just a little bit... frustrated.
Hatsune
And maybe... not just... a little bit...
Hatsune
... I don't know how things will end up, so I'd better say it now.
Hatsune
I... really love you.
Hatsune
... Eh heh heh. It's unfair to say it while you're asleep, I know. But this might be the last chance I get, so please forgive me.
Hatsune
Then, I'm going!
Scene: Landsol at night.
Hatsune
It's really falling! Ugh! I wish that my premonition could have been wrong!
Hatsune
But because I slept a lot, I'll be fine! I'll make that meteor go ka-boom!
Hatsune
Hahhhh!
Hatsune
W... Wah! It's really heavy...! Even having charged up this much, even using all the power I have...! Won't this meteor break!?
Hatsune
If this goes on...!
Hatsune
Huh!? What... It suddenly feels lighter?
Hatsune
My psychic skills got powered up all of a sudden...? Could this be...!?
Yuuki runs to her.
Hatsune
This really is your power...!
Hatsune
R-Really... I was planning to do this on my own! I was hoping you wouldn't come here!
Hatsune
... But this way, I'll definitely be able to succeed!
Hatsune
Let's do our best together! Here goes! Hahhhh!
An explosion.
Hatsune
... We did it... We really did it! We destroyed the meteor! This is all thanks to you!
Hatsune
What a relief... We saved everyone in the city! To be honest, I didn't think I was ever going to see you again...
Hatsune
(So that's why I confessed to you while you were sleeping...)
Hatsune
(W-While you were sleeping...)
Hatsune
... H-Hey, Yuuki.
Hatsune
Earlier, you were asleep... right? You didn't hear... what I said... right?
Hatsune
What do I mean, well, um...
Hatsune
Don't... Yawn...
Hatsune
Yaaawn... I'm getting sleepy again... And just when I was about to say something important... Yaaawwnnn...
Hatsune
Ahh... Thanks...
