Danganronpa S Development Mode/Mikan Tsumiki

This article contains information and transcripts for Mikan Tsumiki's Development Mode events from Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp.

Introduction

Our avatars can repair themselves if anything bad happens, but we can still get hurt or sick, right?

Hope Fragment

I can be useful sometimes...and even those times when I can't, I have them to pick up the slack...

Friendship Events

Korekiyo & Mikan

	Korekiyo & Mikan
	Thank you for your help, Mikan! Anyway, enjoy the beach!
	It's no problem at all... Ehehe.
	Ah, Mikan. Still working at a time like this?
	EEK!
	Y-You startled me... But it's just you, Korekiyo.
	Ah, that was not my intention. My apologies if my appearance frightens you.
	I-I'm sorry! I don't mean to discriminate against your appearance or anyone's!
	It's just, your complexion makes me worry about your health...
	I've...always had this complexion.
	Um...you were going to ask about Monophanie, right? I didn't really do much.
	She asked me to check the contents of a lifesaving manual, so I did...
	You can't drown to death in this world...but without proper measures, you'd likely suffer.
	Fascinating... You truly are passionate about your work.
	If someone like you were to nurse at my sister's side, surely she would be quite pleased.
	Huh? Is your sister, um...sick?
	She's been in poor health since childhood, yes. The hospital is practically her second home.
	As a result, she has few friends... That worries me.
	I see... Then like you said, it would be nice if I could look after her...
	You're truly kind... I'm sure my sister would be delighted simply hearing you say that.
	I'm not kind. I just can't sit by and ignore those who have been weakened by illness or injury.
	Because...that makes them weaker than me.
	Pardon?
	Always being sick... That must be hard, especially having to rely entirely on others.
	I...really do wish I could take care of her.
	...
	I understand. But I could never ask you for such a luxury as you exclusively looking after my sister.
	Oh, um...did you...change your mind? Did I say something weird?
	Not at all. That's simply your imagination.
	But your voice clearly turned colder! I'm sorry! Please don't hate meee!

Miu & Mikan

	Miu & Mikan
	There...all done. Try moving your hand now. Is there any discomfort?
	Whoa, it feels fine! Well, shit. You've actually made yourself useful!
	I *am* a nurse, after all... Ehehe.
	Lose that pathetic laugh! Ugh, just looking at you makes my skin crawl.
	Hyeh! I-I'm sorry! I'll be more careful, so please don't hate me!
	That timid attitude is what pisses me off the most! You're a real Christmas ham, y'know that?
	*sob* I'm sorry, I'm so sorry... Feel free to hit me or scribble mean words on me...
	Huh? Scribble mean words on you... That seems like more of a reward than a punishment to me.
	Huh?
	Huh?
	Um...w-would you like to write me? Or would you prefer to be written on?
	Oh, uh, in that case...written on...
	But not by you, you nasty warthog! There's no *way* I'd get off!
	Oww, fuck! I-I bashed my hand! I took a nasty blow while I was down, and not in the fun way!
	A-Are you okay? Please, show it to me!
	Ugh... Go on...
	I don't see any new external wounds... Okay, now bend your wrist this way...
	Sure... Like this?
	Does it hurt? That seems fine, then. Now bend it the other way...
	R-Right, got it...
	Perfect. How about this?
	Gah, this is kinda scary...
	Hehe... Having someone like Miu follow my commands is...is so... Hehe...duhuhuhuh...
	I-I'm fine now! All cured! So let go already!
	That's no good--I still need to examine it.
	Unhand me! Damn, you seriously give me the willies!

Mondo & Mikan

	Mondo & Mikan
	There... That should do it. Make sure to change it after you bathe, okay?
	Yeah, yeah. It's just a scratch. I told the kid it just needed a bit o' spit, but she got real pissy.
	K-Kotoko's right... No matter how small a wound looks, it must be treated carefully.
	If it were to get infected, I'm sure she would feel terrible. She already feels responsible.
	This shit ain't her fault. I'm the one who's lost my touch. Maybe I'll train with Sakura and co.
	But for fuck's sake, this ain't even my own body. Y'think they could skip the whole pain thing.
	Considering all the other crap this world does, why not just go all the way, y'know?
	I understand your frustration, but pain is a vital response to help you avoid greater danger.
	If you grow accustomed to training yourself in a world free of that natural bodily response...
	You may well end up terribly injuring yourself when you return to the real world.
	Y'know, you're right. It's that pain that tells ya how hard you can hit before screwin' up your fist.
	Correct. Furthermore...
	I would be out of a job in a world where no one ever fell sick or got injured.
	Yeah, I guess that would defeat the purpose of doin' a training camp if ya got nothin' to train.
	Y-Yes, exactly... I'm the Ultimate Nurse, and nursing is my job, hehehe...

Yasuhiro & Mikan

	Yasuhiro & Mikan
	Gyeh! I tripped yet again...
	Holy exhibitionism! You gotta be careful about those branches grabbin' your swimsuit shoulder.
	Hyeeeh... This is so embarrassing...
	I gotta ask, Micky. Your clumsiness isn't just an act, is it?
	Would I be so embarrassed if it was an act!? P-Please hurry and help me out!
	Oh, right, help. Here ya go, dude.
	My apologies for the trouble...
	If that isn't intentional, you've got some crazy bad luck. Maybe it's even a talent.
	I don't want a talent like that!
	Whoa. I just realized something, dude! No bout adout it!
	Wh-What is it? And please don't bring your face so near...
	What you need...is better fortune, dude! You gotta pray to Atua to lift your curse of bad luck!
	Hyeh? A-Atua?
	Sure, you have crappy luck, but what do you have to lose? Plus, you've got me here to help divine!
	Uh, um...I don't really have a need for any expensive fortune telling or crystal balls...
	That's not what I mean! I *mean* the big man in the sky who's always watching over you, dude!
	Hyeh?
	It just so happens there's an easy way to get in touch with Him. All you need is a sacrifice.
	Ah! Um, Yasuhiro, do you mean...
	All I need is a little blood, dude! It's fine! C'mon, let's hurry over and see Angus!
	P-Please, wait! That's...the one place I feel like I shouldn't go!
	What? It isn't scary, dude! You'll be safe in Atua's gentle, motherly embrace!
	Um, I don't mean to insult your faith, but I don't think forcing people into it is a good idea, so...
	Hyeeehhh... Somebody, please help meee!

Nagito & Mikan

	Mondo & Mikan
	It happened again... While I was bound on the floor, she managed to get away!
	Again? Do you mean the wheelchair girl? I don't see a sign of her from here.
	She was headed to the hospital so I figured I'd accompany her, but...hyeeeh...
	She seems to be avoiding you, Mikan...
	I got that impression...but hearing you say it like that is like a knife to my chest...
	B-But why... Did I do something to Monaca?
	Hmm... Did you first meet her here at this training camp, like me?
	Of course... I'd never have forgotten her if we'd met before.
	Have you talked or done much together since the start of camp?
	No, I've only greeted her once... C-Could that have come across as rude?
	It's rare that I interact with children, so I was too nervous to speak... Hyeeehhhh...
	I have another question... Have you ever seen her avoiding anyone else?
	Oh, I *do* know about that! I've been watching her from afar for a while, after all!
	Um...it looks to me like she tries to keep her distance between Sakura and Nekomaru.
	You, and those two, then... I see now. The ones who know the most about human anatomy.
	You arrived at the same conclusion too?
	She's always going to the hospital by herself... Maybe she doesn't want us prying about her legs.
	So...it's possible she may be hiding something.
	Huh?
	Anyway, I don't think you're at fault, Mikan.
	Getting too pushy will have the opposite effect... She seems healthy, so why not let her be?
	Y-You're right... I'll just keep an eye on her condition for now.
	I just hope she'll trust me if she ever needs my help...

Mikan & Shirokuma

	Mikan & Shirokuma
	Shirokuma? Um, do you need something?
	Hello, Mikan! Er, I just wanted some bandages!
	I-I see... I'll bring you some right away.
	But, um...
	Why're you staring at me like that? Is there something on your mind?
	Um, pardon me for asking, but...are you injured, Shirokuma?
	Yes, that is correct. It's a long story.
	Monokumas aren't like you living things, but we can be injured too.
	Huh...I had no idea.
	Oh, are you thinking it's a waste of bandages to use them on a robot like me?
	That's fine, I'll just go to the market and get some duct tape or something like that...
	Y-You'll just cause more injuries if you use duct tape over a wound!
	My entire body got wrapped in duct tape once, and trust me, getting it off wasn't a good time.
	Oh, so you speak from experience...
	Anyway, we have plenty of bandages, so feel free to use them whenever you please.
	Robot injuries are outside of my field of expertise, so you should probably ask Kazuichi...
	That's true, Kazuichi seems like the right person! Thanks for reminding me!
	N-No problem at all!
	Ehehe, I'm not sure why, but you have a way of filling my chest with warm fuzzies...
	Really? If you don't mind talking with little ol' me, I'll talk with you any time, Mikan!
	You're a wonderful person, so I'm sure I'll never run out of good things to say about you.

Ryoma & Nekomaru & Mikan

	Ryoma & Nekomaru & Mikan
	I see you're finished running... Do you have any injuries or aches?
	I'm fine...but damn, did I let myself go. I've got my work cut out for me.
	Come on, now! For someone who's let himself go, your pace surprised the shit outta me!
	He's right... Who knows how many times I'd trip and fall on my face if I tried to run that course.
	Heh, but he is far from his heyday. I don't intend on training him back to his old level, but...
	I'd at least like to see more stamina. Now that's something you can never have too much of.
	Alright, I'll add that to my training menu!
	Speaking of menu, I'll consult with Teruteru and suggest some appropriate meals.
	Yeah... Please do. Sorry for all the trouble.
	Hmph, I told you not to worry about it.
	Thanks to you, I get to experience supporting someone who's back in action after a hiatus.
	Up to now, I've met athletes who've abandoned the frontlines due to injuries and other shit...
	But the road to return is a rough one. There's no harm in polishing my support techniques.
	Correction--I don't intend on making a return. I'm just doin' this for fun, got it?
	Th-That's a wonderful thing though! To face the decline of your own body is a painful thing...
	Heh...I deserve a bit of suffering. On the other hand...
	Ain't it a little presumptuous to talk to me like I'm some sorta world-weary old man?

Toko & Junko? & Mikan

	Toko & Junko? & Mikan
	...
	...
	...
	Hey, what just happened? Did it just get awkward in here?
	It...most certainly did get awkward.
	I-I'm sorry! It's my fault, I know it!
	No, I don't think it's anyone's fault. It was just like, a really awkward moment.
	Hmm...I can tell. You looked at my face, and the atmosphere became tense...
	It's nothing like that, I swear! It's not like we have any bad blood between us!
	Not *bad* blood, but...not good either. And I feel like the more we talk, the worse it gets.
	Urgh... Please forgive me... I-I'll change clothes real quickly and leave...
	Ugh, you two are so negative... Toko, don't say things like that without proof to back it up!
	Th-Then...just a question, but do you think you can get along with this group of people?
	I... True, compatibility is a thing, but at the same time, opposites often attract, right?
	Like you and Makoto's sister. And I find it surprising how often Mikan and Ibuki are together.
	I suppose you have a point about Komaru and I...
	Ibuki has the polar opposite personality, so maybe that's why she and I get along so well...
	Right, sometimes it's difficult to get along with someone when you're too similar. Like, for instance, us three here...
	Huh? What about me and you is similar?
	Um...y'know, being girls in the same school year?
	If a similarity like that can cause trouble, I feel like nobody at all would get along...

Hajime & Mahiru & Mikan

	Hajime & Mahiru & Mikan
	That's right, Mikan. Juuust like that. Now say chee--
	Uh, um... Aaah! I tripped and fell!
	Whoa, wait a sec!
	I wasn't expecting that! I got the shot, but... are you okay, Mikan!? Are you hurt?
	I-I'm fine... But... *sob* My leg's caught on the fence and I can't stand...
	Here, hold on. Can you stand?
	Th-Thank you very much... I'm so ashamed...
	It's all my fault for startling you.
	Th-That wasn't it... My footing was slippery. I think it's because of yesterday's sudden rain...
	Now that you mention it, it did rain yesterday afternoon. I guess it's not always sunny here...
	Hajime...I'm impressed.
	Huh? What for?
	When Mikan tripped and fell, you moved quickly to hide her from the camera, right? I'd have deleted it right away, of course, but it still would have been an embarrassing photo.
	Th-That happens to me a lot... Hajime, thank you so much once again...
	I just wish I could have lent you a hand before you fell over.
	Nobody expects ninja reflexes, Hajime. Only Sakura could do something like that.
	But still...you tried. And that's enough for me. Eheheh...

Fuyuhiko & Mikan & Ibuki

	Fuyuhiko & Mikan & Ibuki
	Man, this rocks! There's *nothing* like an outdoor concert on the beach!
	Right, Mikan? Fuyuhiko?
	R-Right, but...um...
	First off, why us? If you're gonna tour the island, you shoulda gone with all girls.
	That's right... Or at least take Kazuichi or Hajime along with us...
	Hmm, that was the plan, but they're both busy today.
	Personally, I'm juuust fine with you two. It's a real big help having you along!
	Why us? There's gotta be *someone* else who can help pick out a venue for a concert.
	Nyuh...that's true... I'm not even capable of giving useful advice, Ibuki...
	I've already gotten tons of music and performance advice, so I'm looking for something else today!
	And I ask again, why us?
	Call it...intuition!
	Wha? Whaaa?
	I'm half-joking! The other half is, I'm making an effort to talk to classmates I don't usually. Maybe then I'll get some fresh perspectives! Or that's the idea, anyway.
	But whoa, this isn't like me! In fact, this is downright obnoxious, huh!
	N-Now that you mention it...Fuyuhiko and I have hardly ever talked before...
	If that's your way of trying to be considerate, you fucked up. You're bein' awkward about it too.
	You've got a point... We should stick to what we're best at.
	But I was serious about wanting to talk to you two! C'mon, gimme some fresh inspiration!
	No sense turning back now... Yeah, sure, if you insist. But you'd better lead the conversation.
	Heck yeah! Leave it to me!
	Um, if we run out of topics...I brainstormed 2,500 ice breakers for situations just like this!
	Y'know, just a thought, but you might wanna relax a little before you talk.
	No, no, I'm hella grateful! Thanks, you two! I'll do my best!

Junko & Toko & Mikan

Note: Event only obtainable when playing as Junko Enoshima.

	Junko & Toko & Mikan
	...
	...
	Whoa, why the gloomy mood? Was it something I did?
	N-Not at all! In fact, I'm even happier now that you're here... I-I'm sorry!
	C-Consider me the opposite... My brow furrows at the sight of another annoyance showing up...
	You're both going off of opposite deep ends. I just came here to change clothes.
	Everyone has bad mojo with someone...
	In your case, Toko? You probably have more bad mojo with people than good.
	I-I can't deny that... But even I have friends!
	Yes, that's right...friends! Well...friend, singular!
	Hmm, you mean Komaru? Well, crud. And here I thought *I* was your friend, Toko.
	Huh? What kind of warped, twisted reality are you living in where all your classmates are friends?
	Wait...I'm from the class next door, so I'm...
	I-I'm so sorry! I got too ahead of myself!
	Of course you're my friend too, Mikan. Isn't it a nice thought, being friends with all your peers?
	I-I don't think you're buying what you're selling.
	Heh, heh heh... Friends, huh...
	You shouldn't buy into it either! Or are you okay with a cheap, watered-down sense of friendship?

Izuru & Mahiru & Mikan

Note: Event only obtainable when playing as Izuru Kamukura.

	Izuru & Mahiru & Mikan
	That's right, Mikan. Juuust like that. Now say chee--
	Uh, um...
	Ah, waaah!
	I wasn't expecting that! I got the shot, but... Are you two okay?
	Y-Yes... Izuru caught me just before I fell over, so...
	Th-Th-Th...Thank you so much! I'm so sorry about this!
	It's nothing... I simply held out my hand.
	I thought you were standing pretty far away... You've got some reach, Izuru.
	B-By the way, Mahiru... You said you took the shot, right? Is that...
	Oh, I might have caught Izuru's moment in action.
	Hweh! If that photo leaks, won't I end up stabbed by one of Izuru's fans!?
	Uh, are there people like that? I mean... this *is* Izuru, so it's possible...
	At present, almost nobody outside the academy is aware of my existence.
	B-But...maybe you have some secret admirers among the students...
	Whatever the case, I'll delete it, so don't worry. It's kind of an embarrassing moment, anyway.
	Oh...yes, p-please do that...

Special Events

Potential of Talent

What are some ideas you have for unlocking new potential in your talent?
	Potential, huh... I assume that would strictly apply to my talent as a nurse... Huh?

	M-Masaru, you hurt your knee!
	Keep your hands off me, Cowzilla! This is nothin'!
	Cow...zilla!?
	Um, we might be avatars here, but you still feel realistic pain when you get hurt, right? Plus, even a small wound could get infected, just like in the real world...
	It won't do to leave it be. Please let me see so I can treat it.
	You're as stubborn as a cow too! A hero's wounds aren't mere wounds, they're medals of honor!
	Um, this will be really quick... Please don't be scared, okay?
	I-I'm not scared! What kind of a hero do you think I am!?
	Ah... Wait, please! He's already a speck in the distance. He really is fast...
	Few children like hospitals and shots... But I'm worried about him... ...
Out of concern for Masaru, I decided to keep a close eye on him for a while...

	Here, Shuichi, let me see that bandage.
	And that should do it. Are you able to move it okay?
	It's fine, I just scraped my hand on a tree branch is all. Sorry for taking up your time.
	But wow, leave it to Mikan... I'd have been here all day trying to patch myself up.
	Treating your dominant hand is tricky until you get a feel for it.
	It sure is. Maybe I should practice a little...
	That's not a bad idea. It's...possible that you may encounter danger as a detective, right?
	Well, maybe for someone like Kyoko who specializes in investigating heinous crimes... Most of the cases I get are mundane tasks like uncovering infidelity and finding lost pets.
	Y-You never know... People sometimes get horrific injuries in the most unexpected of ways. Like getting dragged into a fight and stabbed, or getting an infected wound from a pet bite...
	Oh... I-I'm sorry for making the conversation so dark! Please forgive meee!
	N-No, it's fine. You're absolutely right, Mikan.
	Y-You can scribble on me to make up for it...
	Er...no, don't do that! I meant, uh, umm...
	I could...teach you some first aid techniques?
	Huh?
	Um, that's something even I can do, at least...
	I-I'm sorry for making this conversation dark again! My deepest, most sincere apologies!
	T-Trust me, you're fine! Honestly, I'd be happy if you taught me!
	Huh? R-Really?
	Yeah. Who better to teach me first aid than the Ultimate Nurse?
	Eheheh... If you say so! I'm looking forward to assisting you! Oh, but do you mind waiting just a bit? I need three days and nights to rehearse everything.
	D-Don't go to the trouble for my sake!
I taught Shuichi some first aid techniques!

	Um, uh...Gen-- Er, I mean... Hyehhh...
	Hmm? You rang? What is this, the teen tournament edition of "Who Did Mikan Call For"?
	And don't start cryin' after lookin' at me! It's exhausting getting pissed at ya every time!
	*sob* I-I'm sorryyy... You can carve me up all you want, just please don't kill meee...
	Too much effort! Go get hit by a truck and reincarnate as a hunk, *then* we'll talk!
	Your stammer and sobbing is really gettin' old... But I guess I can look the other way this time.
	Huh?
	You nursed me back to health when I had a nasty fever, yeah? I just couldn't stop sneezin', so I'd keep regressing back to my mopey side. It sucked!
	But you were right there the whole time, so I at least owe ya that much.
	Whaaa!?
	Hyeh... Toko said that it was the biggest failure of her life, and something she'd rather forget... I never expected you'd say something so kind...
	You being the one in charge of keeping me alive gives me goosebumps! Not that I'm one to talk!
Somehow, I doubt I'd have ever recieved gratitude from Genocide Jack without my nurse talents...

Summer Festival

There's a festival happening soon where you can try things unrelated to your talent. We're supposed to perform Momotaro...but we don't have enough roles for everyone!
	Um, we could have multiple people play roles where it doesn't matter if we have more...
	W-Would that work? I'm sorry for being so forward!

	We could double up on animal companions...
	Uh? By animals, you mean like, what, the dog, monkey, and pheasant who join for dumplings?
	Yes... If we have two of each, it would perfectly match our number of actors...
	I-I know it's weird! I'm sorryyy...
	Nah, I think that'd be fine. I know I'd be hootin' and hollerin' the moment two dogs came out.
	R-Really!?
My idea was a hit--we decided to double up on dogs, monkeys, and pheasants!

	What about having extra demons...
	True, it doesn't matter how many demons there are. They might even stand a chance that way.
	R-Right!
	But they're already cannon fodder with barely any lines, so wouldn't more just dilute them?
	Th-That's a good point...
I thought it was a good idea, but the response was lukewarm at best...

	What about having extra Momotaros...
	Are you suggesting having more than one lead? That's a dramatic departure from the original.
	Right... A peach floats down the river, and out comes not one, but two babies...
	N-No, that would be absurd... Please forget I said anything!
	And a story about a baby emerging from a peach isn't absurd?
That conversations didn't go anywhere...

Campfire

It's been a wild ride, but our time here is almost over. We're having a bonfire as a send-off!
	Just sitting here, eating a meal and talking to everyone... That's all I need.

	May I sit next to you, Peko?
	Yes, of course. Please have a seat.
	Excuse me then... Eheheh.
	It sure is a lively night. Everyone's dancing, telling ghost stories, having fun...
	Just watching is fun for me. Even if nobody's watching me, it gives me peace of mind.
	It's kind of a strange mood...
	Oh... S-Sorry! I didn't mean to do all the talking!
	I don't mind. Besides, I...have a certain peace of mind when I listen to you talk like this.
	Really?
	Back when we first met, I doubt you'd have chosen to sit next to me willingly.
	You'd get worked up, saying you'd prepared a thousand topics to discuss, yet still shy away.
	I-I'm very sorry about that time...
	No need to apologize. I was much the same when it came to approaching you or speaking my mind.
	Oh...
	Let's talk more. It may be somewhat awkward, but I'd like you to listen to how I feel.
	Sure. Um, also...
	I must admit I'm very happy about how things worked out... Weeeeeeh...
Peko and I ate together...

	Are you in a good mood, Masaru?
	I'm always in a super good mood! And you're always looking super dumb, Cowzilla!
	Cow-- Um, I'm glad you're in good spirits. No injuries today, I see.
	I told you, I'm doing fine! It's just like a nasty adult to not believe a kid!
	It's not that I don't believe you. It's just...people often overlook their own conditions.
	You'd be surprised how often someone won't even realize they've cracked or fractured a bone.
	I'm not an idiot like that! I can even jump down from the top of a slide and be fine!
	P-Please refrain from such scary activities! You'll be severely injured one of these days!
	Scary? It's not scary... Not a single bit...
	It doesn't even hurt, it just makes my legs tingle a little. It's not like being hit or yelled at...
	Scary things are... Scary things are way different...
	Masaru?
	N-Never mind! I'm a hero! Nothing is scary! I'm not scared of anything! At all!
	...
	Whenever I was hit...it hurt, and it was scary.
	Huh?
	It hurt, and I cried...but I knew I had to fix it *because* it hurt.
	It hurts, so there's an injury. That's the first step to making it better.
	But...getting scared is no good. I'm a hero, after all...
	Then, um...pardon me if this is intrusive, and you can say no if you want, but...
	Let me figure out where you're hurting, Masaru.
	Huh? What're you talking about... You're just Cowzilla.
	I'm not Cowzilla... I'm the Ultimate Nurse.
	So please just leave it to me. I'll have a good look at your injuries.
	...
	I just want to see if you can actually do it...
	R-Right!
	But if you screw up, I'll punish you by swapping your curry with dog dookie!
	I'll...try extra hard to get it right then.
I ate (normal) curry with Masaru...

	A-Are you enjoying yourself, Fuyuhiko?
	Yeah... As you can see, I'm doing fine.
	How 'bout you? You okay wasting your time here? Shouldn't you go see Ibuki or Hiyoko?
	Of course I will, but...um, well...
	C-Can't I talk to you too? This is the last event of the field trip after all!
	Fine by me... Has Ibuki been an influence on you or something?
	Maybe she has...
	So... I figured I'd try approaching others every now and then...
	And you chose me of all people. Well, consider me impressed. You're ore brave than I thought.
	Fuyuhiko...you may be involved in organized crime, but you're also a classmate, so it's fine.
	Hey, wanna hear some yakuza inside info? I wanna put your bravery to the test.
	Weeeeeeeeeh!? P-Please go easy on me!
Fuyuhiko told me thrilling stories over curry...

With Swimsuits

Event triggered when playing Development Mode using an S Rank or UR Rank card.

	With Swimsuits
	Ooh, there really is an open-air bath here. How wonderful...
	Um, d-does anyone mind if I join in?
	You're more than welcome of course, Mikan! You're a wonderful girl, after all!
	Besides, this bath belongs to everyone. No need to ask, just hop in.
	Th-Thank you so much! Please excuse me then! ...Ah!
	Huh?
	Wehhh! I-I slipped and fell and got water in my mouth... *cough*
	Ablub, ablubblubblubblub!
	Oh no, Tenko! She ended up under Mikan!
	*cough* I-I'll move now... EEK! Please don't pull my swimsuit's strings!
	Calm yourself. Be deliberate with your movement. I shall lift you...
	*pant pant pant* I could see my master waving to me from across the river...
	Isn't your master still alive?
	I'm so sorry. It's not like me to slip and fall like that...
	No, it's fine. I like to think of it as you shielding me from harm on top of me.
	Can't say I ever expected to nearly drown in an outdoor bath though.
	I'm truly sorry... Even groveling at your feet underwater wouldn't be enough of an apology...
	I was trying to be careful, but for some reason it always ends up like this...
	Mikan... If you're having trouble, how about joining us for some workout sessions?
	W-Workouts? With me?
	A fine proposal. One's ability to balance, as well as compensate when they take a fall...
	These things can be honed with training. Perhaps I can assist you as well...
	Me too, of course. We won't work ya *too* hard either. Whatcha think?
	Can I...actually do that?
	You never know until you try. It couldn't hurt to keep a positive attitude either.
	If it doesn't work, that just means it wasn't a good match for you, and that's good to know.
	I see... I'll try not to cause much trouble for you all...
	But sign me up. I-I'm looking forward to this!

My Future...

Event triggered when playing Development Mode using a UR Rank card.
Requires the player to have seen all other Friendship events during the run.

	My Future...
	Ah... Ngh, ugh... Mmph... *pant* *pant* Urgh...
	The hell you're doing in our hospital, sow!? I own the patents on that shit!
	Whaaa!? Wh-What's wrong!?
	Huh? You're doing pushups?
	Weh... I don't have any patients today, so I thought I'd work out in my free time...
	O-Oh... You surprised me...
	Um...do you need anything, Miu? Did you injure yourself again?
	Oh duh, I had business with you! Be the test subject for my invention, sow!
	Whaaaaaat!? Test subject!?
	Today's invention is amazing! It's a device...that changes your clothes while laying down!
	It also examines your entire body as a health check! It's the perfect thing to test on you!
	E-Examines my entire body? How does it do that?
	The Kotoko kid or whatever designed arms that are perfect for a nice, thorough examination.
	Oh, and it does a heck a lot more than just examine! See? It's perfect for you!
	P-Please wait! I feel like it does a little *too* much beyond changing clothes!
	Just come with me. It'll feel nice! It'll be over before you can say donkey punch.
	Wehhh... Uh, um...
	Gwuh!?
	Th-This is the machine I invented to deliver a gut punch when it detects a lame dirty joke...
	No, wait! It's been remodeled!
	That reminds me, I think Mahiru asked Kazuichi to remodel this.
	It was a bad influence on the kids, so now it actively seeks out lame dirty jokes with a punch.
	That son of a... I was caught off guard, so I can't even begin to describe the pain I feel...
	Um...are you okay? Would you like to lay down for a bit?
	Ooh, yeah. I'll do that!
	Come right in. The bed here is free. I'll check your tummy. Can you lift your shirt for me?
	Oof... Is this enough?
	There's a bit of inflamation. Do you feel nausea or particularly strong pain?
	Nope...it's fine. Ugh, why did this have to happen to me...
	I'll treat it, so please hold still. It'll be over before you can say donkey punch.
	When did our positions get reversed!?
	Um...you'll be fine. Unlike your inventions, I won't do anything weird.
	Are you implying my inventions do weird things!? Cuz I mean, yeah they do!
	Ugh, fuck. Is it just me, or did that gut punch machine get a serious upgrade?

Appearances in Special Events for Other Characters

Potential of Talent

	I shall make the lamb a servant of the Four Devas. (Gundham Tanaka)
	You speak of "new potential" as if I, the Supreme Overlord, have yet to attain peak performance. Nevertheless, if this is how mortals do entertain themselves, perhaps I should partake in it once. I shall make the lamb a servant of the Four Devas.
	Waaah... I love animals... They're... They're so adorable... But they all seem to be afraid of me... Am... Am I doing something wrong?
	You ensconce yourself within a formidable field.
	Weh? What do you mean?
	Lest you dispel the repelling field about you, all with whom you interact must need raise their own. For he who would touch the field still exposed shall be hurled through the air with great force.
	Hurled through the air!?
	Dispelling the field is imperative, though I know, being a subconscious spell, it will be difficult. But you mustn't force demon beasts of lesser constitution to expend unnecessary magic power.
	To assist in your training, the Four Dark Devas of Destruction, who fear nothing, are at your behest.
	May... May I touch them?
	Ahh... They're so fluffy. Hehehe...
There is value in offering guidance to ignorant mortals who know not how to coexist with beasts!

	All I need to worry about is not getting injured. (Leon Kuwata)
	There's no "potential" left to unlock, man. I play baseball and I win. It's that simple. Oh, here's an idea! I'm already selling myself as a multi-talented celeb, pro at baseball and music. I should use this time to do some networking! All I need to worry about is not getting injured.
	It's not like I've ever *been* injured before. There's no need to push myself in this kiddy game.
	The real concern will be when I get so popular the gossip rags start pickin' up on my exploits!
	Huh? Then why did you ask for me!?
	I mean, I've gotta sign a contract with someone. Might as well make it with a girl, y'know?
	Wh-What kind of contract? Are you making me your guarantor or selling my organs?
	C'mon, man. How paranoid can you be? As my personal sports doc, duh! What else would I contract you for?
	Hyeh? You want me to be...your sports physician?
	It can't be too different from regular doctoring! I'm sure you'd be great at it!
	I-I do have a superficial knowledge of the field, but surely that won't be enough for your needs...
	Don't fret, man! You're just backup in case anything happens!
	That's an awful attitude to have about your body. You must always remain on top of your health. I-I accept the job...and will review the materials to ensure I can provide the best care possible.
	So I implore you to reevaluate your outlook on your own personal health care as well, Leon!
	This is seeming like a worse idea every second...
I got a lengthy lecture from Mikan about health...

	I've got to be careful interacting with normies. (Tsumugi Shirogane)
	New potential... Personally, I believe the future of the cosplay world is bright, but... If I want to take cosplay to the next level, I must become the character to my very core.
	...That might be a stretch. Anyway, what to do... I've got to be careful interacting with normies.
	Well, the line between normie and otaku is thinning by the day, but... While indulging in your fandom with friends, you still have to be mindful of those around you.
	C-Cosplay, you say... Speaking of which, I...
	I've sometimes been mistaken as a cosplayer in this uniform...
	Ohh, I guess someone unfamiliar with otaku culture could interpret your outfit as cosplay. Cosplay of the nurse, police, and shrine maiden kind of variety, that is.
	And once...a cosplayer asked me if they could borrow my bandage... I thought they were injured so I asked to see the wound but then they got all upset at me...
	They didn't have the right props for a bandaged character? Those aren't difficult to buy...
	Sounds like this cosplayer gave you a hard time. I'm so sorry about that! I know I'm apologizing on their behalf, but as an otaku, I feel just as bad as if it *was* me!
	N-No, I'm sorry for bringing it up! I thought it could be an icebreaker and got carried away!
I pondered how to reduce misunderstandings and breaches of conduct for cosplayers...

Summer Festival

	Hey Mikan! I've got some bottled Ramune here! (Aoi Asahina)
	I've been assigned to a drink stall, but sitting around and waiting for customers is no fun. I'll just have to make some noise and bring customers in myself! Drinks for everyone! Hey Mikan! I've got some bottled Ramune here!
	B-Bottled Ramune, you say... Do you want me to drink it all at once? Or put it inside of me?
	Huh-- Put it-- What!? What are you talking about!?
	Oh, um. I'm sorry. Reflex... So do you need me to buy everything here?
	No, of course not! I'm just suggesting something you might like!
	O-Oh, I see... I'm sorry for misunderstanding. I'll have one, then.
	Ahh... It's so fizzy and delicious.
	I know, right!? Really brings you back to old summer days!
Me and Mikan drank Ramune together!

	Perhaps "The Wolf and the Seven Young Goats"? (Maki Harukawa)
	A spin on a famous fairy tale or folk tale, perhaps? That'd be a good place to start. Perhaps "The Wolf and the Seven Young Goats"?
	Th-That's the one where...the goats get eaten by the wolf, isn't it...
	That's right. But in the end, the wolf is slain and the goats are rescued.
	Right... If I recall, doesn't the wolf's stomach get sliced open and stuffed with stones?
	I may be able to help with the surgery scene.
	Are you trying to make this realistic? I don't mind, but we may end up with age restrictions.
I didn't want our show to be too scary for kids, so I proposed "Momotaro" instead...

	First, I will butcher your dog companion. (Sakura Ogami)
	We were tasked with performing Momotaro, and it is now my time to fight as the demon chief! At last, you appear before me, Momotaro. I knew your ilk would arrive someday, but it ends here! First, I will butcher your dog companion.
	M-Me!? Please spare my life! I'll do anything!
	Fear not, child. You will feel no pain. Of that I will make certain.
	Eeeeek! Help me, Momotaro!
I chased Mikan, the dog, around stage, though I had difficulty not frightening her too much.

Campfire

	Atua will create a new work tonight, I know it. (Angie Yonaga)
	Ooh, this atmosphere is simply divine. It reminds me of the weddings back on my island. Atua will create a new work tonight, I know it.
	Ooh, you're making something new? Let me see when it's done.
	Hmm, that can be arranged. I'll give you a special discount on the sacrifice entry fee.
	Yaaay! I'll drag pig barf along then!
	Umm...I could have sworn I just heard something highly disturbing...
	Oh, perfect timing! I'm skilled at bloodletting, so don't you worry.
	Whaaa!? I-If I'm donating blood, please let me do it myself!
	She didn't even try to get out of it. It's like watching a pig spit-roast itself!
We negotiated Mikan's sacrifice, but she refused.

	I'm still well on schedule, I'll have you know! (Hifumi Yamada)
	My original work is nearing its completion... I'd prefer to spend my time on that. I'm still well on schedule, I'll have you know!
	Your complexion is better than usual, so it looks like you're getting proper sleep.
	I can't trouble you forever, Ms. Tsumiki, to say nothing of Ms. Koizumi's lectures!
	I'm compelled to ask myself, if this were 2D, what kind of harem rom-com would it be?
	But I seek no such thing in reality. I say this not as a humble brag, but a sincere statement!
	I'm glad you're considering your situation. I won't be able to watch over you for much longer.
	It sounds to me like Ms. Tsumiki wouldn't be able to graduate in peace if I can't be healthy myself!
	Ah, but what is life without potato chips and cola? Do kindly turn a blind eye to that habit.
Mikan ended up lecturing me on nutritional balance yet again...

	Thanks for everything, Mikan. (Ryoma Hoshi)
	The swaying of the flames against the glittering night sea has me feeling weirdly sentimental... Thanks for everything, Mikan.
	Oh, not at all. I hardly did anything.
	Don't undersell yourself. I wouldn't have been able to build myself back up without your support.
	It was all Nekomaru, not me...
	N-No, forget that. Thank you. I appreciate your kind words, Ryoma.
	That's what I like to hear. Not that my words mean much of anything, haha.
	I, um... I apologize if I'm overstepping my bounds, but...
	Please don't undersell yourself either. I am genuinely glad I was able to be some help.
	You're right. That was lame of me.
	Don't worry about it.
	Since I got you here, why don't we grab Nekomaru and get some food. I'd like to pick your brains.
	I-It would be my pleasure!
I hung out with the people who helped me most.

With Swimsuits

	With Swimsuits (Hajime Hinata)
	Dinner on the beach, huh... I'm suddenly feeling pretty fancy.
	It feels different from a picnic since we're on the sand. It's more like a...beachnic?
	Hmm.. We aren't staying the night, but it feels a little like camping.
	Camping, huh... That sounds like fun too. Sure, we have the hotel, but putting up tents Would make this feel even more fancy
	Come to think of it, the market had tents. Wanna give it a try?
	Sounds like a plan. And then we can have a beach barbeque!
	Heck yeah, sign me up for barbeque! Why AREN'T we barbequing here anyway?
	I mean, it was kind of a last minute decision to eat on the beach, wasn't it?
	I got a bunch of food at the beach hut, others brought stuff, we shared, more people arrived...
	Before we knew it, we were all here.
	I-Is that how it happened?
	I came to the beach and saw everyone, so figured you were keeping it a secret from me...
	Have we ever done anything like that, Mikan?
	N-No... Not even once. Nobody's ever been left out of a gathering before.
	And pretty much everyone comes whenever we have a gathering. Even Hajime.
	Well yeah, if everyone invites me, I'll go.
	Hehehe... Hajime, you've become a full-fledged member of the class.
	I agree. I think everyone's forgotten that you actually come from the reserve course.
	I kinda doubt that... I'm not usually part of your classes, for one
	But there was that time Akane asked you about an assignment and you were real flustered.
	Only Akane would do something like that..
	What, you rang?
	N-Nah, we were just talking about old memories.
	Hajime gets along so well with everyone now... I'm delighted.
	Spending time together, laughing together.. Seeing students like that makes me the happiest!
	It's strange to me too, but...here am, sitting among Ultimates like it's no big deal.

	With Swimsuits (Nekomaru Nidai)
	Listen up. Walking in water builds muscle more effectively than walking on land!
	It's an efficient and reliable training method accessible even to those who neglect exercise!
	I appreciate the help. Shuichi has been working hard, so I thought I should too.
	Mmhm. And I'm always sitting down and playing games, so at least I can do this.
	I-I'm so nervous, my legs are shaking... I look forward to working with you...
	We're all familiar faces, right? I don't think you have any reason to be nervous.
	Then let's do this shit! Follow me!
	Walking around in water is harder than it looks. Is that because of the water resistance?
	Correct. And that water resistance is what makes it so effective at those muscle gains.
	Walking single file behind Nekomaru reminds me of a family of ducks.
	Hehe, you're right. We're ducks! How funny.
	That's right, laugh! Relax and focus on the individua movements of your body!
	Cut through the waves, feel the resistance... Move forward, concentrate on your strength... Whatcha think? Does it feel like you're starting to build muscle?
	Now that you mention it, I swear it does...
	A group of people walking like this reminds me of the standard RPG overworld.
	And there are even four of us, the optimal amount for an RPG party.
	Pools are a lot of fun. I think I'm getting used to this.
	There ya go, a good attitude. If it's fun, it's easier to press on and make gains.
	Okay, break time! Next we'll do the jump walk, in which we *jump* to *walk* through the water!
	Yes, that should be fun!

	With Swimsuits (Ryoma Hoshi)
	Hmph, ain't often it's this quiet. Guess everyone's at the beach...
	How 'bout you? Ain't your buddies all on the beach?
	I'll go there later... Leave me be. All I want right now is some quiet time at the waterfront.
	If ya say so, but...woah, you're lookin' pale. You feelin' okay? Wanna call Mikan or the Kubs?
	Leave me be, I said. For someone so puny, you sure do like acting like a grownup.
	Anyone would be concerned seein' someone lookin' so pale in such hot weather.
	Nobody likes a busybody, but it's a different story when someone's bein' stubborn.
	Are you dizzy or lethargic? Heatstrokes are no joke, y'know.
	...
	Nagisa had minor heatstroke, it seems. He's settled down now, so there's no need to worry.
	Glad to hear it. Woof, smartasses are a pain.
	Weh... If you're feeling ill, you should come see me immediately rather than try to hide it...
	Those elementary school kids are probably used to hidin' of all types. I noticed this time...but I'm no specialist. Could you keep an eye out for them?
	S-Sure, I can do that.
	I can sort of understand how they'd be reserved types...
	To be more specific, they close themselves off to adults.
	I don't like stickin' my nose where it doesn't belong, but somebody's gotta look after 'em.
	Why'd they throw those kids onto an island with a bunch of teenagers anyway...
	It makes sense if you think about it...
	How so?
	Forcing them to mingle with the adults they despise wouldn't make for a very relaxing time...
	They seem to have much deeper seated issues than I thought...
	Maybe it's best that you look after them since you're aware of their issues...
	They may not be rebellious with you, Ryoma... A-And I'm not talking about your height...
	Nah, I get where you're comin' from. No need to try and awkwardly walk it back.
	My smaller stature makes me a little less intimidating, yeah?
	R-Right... You're mature, Ryoma, but it's hard to imagine children ever being afraid of you.
	What a weird twist of fate this is turnin' out to be... Fine, I'll do it.
	G-Good... And I'll try to keep an eye out for their well being too.
	*sigh* I didn't sign up for babysitting duty...

	With Swimsuits (Sonia Nevermind)
	A little more... I can hear the whispers of the daemons of the dark depths just to the right!
	Very well... Let us end this!
	Amazing! A direct hit!
	Wow, the watermelon is split cleanly in half!
	Heh. O Madonna of Darkness, your auguries led me directly to my quarry. Most impressive...
	Ooh, I can mess me up some watermelon too! Gundham, hand over that stick!
	Um...I wanted to try next. Is that okay?
	Why, of course! I'll guide you to the watermelon in no time, Ms. Sonia!
	Do excuse me then. So I simply need to follow everyone's guidance and swing this stick?
	Watermelon is a rarity in my kingdom. I had no idea rituals such as this existed...
	I find the novelty quite thrilling. I'll cut down this melon in a single slash!
	It's not exactly a ritual...but no matter. The watermelon is set, so you may begin.
	Ready or not, here comes Sonia!
	Keep going forward, Ms. Sonia! Ah, you're a little bit too far to the left!
	O Madonna of Darkness, sense the wind upon the sea. Oppose not the wind; advance southward...
	Take both of your clues, put them together, and...here! Hyaaah!
	Wow... Amazing! Direct hit!
	But it seems I couldn't quite cleave it. Perhaps my slash lacks strength...
	I thought hitting a watermelon with a stick would be like swinging a Makango--I was wrong.
	That Makango thing is an animal in your country, right, Ms. Sonia? Sounds like a rough life...
	Your form is correct, Sonia. With a bit of training, you'd surely be able to split it.
	Oh, really? Perhaps I should become your apprentice.
	Sonia, relinquish your weapon.
	Huh? Okay... Here you are.
	Ah, the watermelon...
	The fruit's sun had nearly set. To become my nourishment is to follow the flow of its fate.
	That's right. We've already split most of them, so perhaps we should end this splitting game.
	We have plenty indeed... Perhaps we should call over the others who are out swimming.
	Yes, of course. There is much watermelon to go around!
	We simply sit down and bite into pieces, right? Hehe... This is another first for me.

My Future...

	My Future... (Chiaki Nanami)
	Hey, pig barf! Quit moving so slow and getting in the way of all my attacks!
	I-I'm sorryyy! I'll use myself as your shield to make up for it!
	Hiyoko, you're talking so much you're leaving yourself open. Victory is mine!
	Whoa there, it ain't over yet. In a game, even I'm on equal footing with you, Peko!
	Wow... I never even thought about using the theater's giant screen to play games.
	It's so giant it's difficult to control myself. Or maybe that's part of the festive pressure.
	I actually have a prayer of a chance of winning against Chiaki here.
	Chiaki, Hajime! I call next match!
	Sure, I'm in. I'm not gonna lose though.
	It's not every day we can play like this, so let's be sure to enjoy every second.
	Yeah, agreed. Although...we may be able to play on screens like this in the very near future.
	Huh? You mean like, playing games on a movie theater screen?
	Well, it's not exactly the same...but I mean using VR and other technology that might come later.
	In VR, your whole field of view becomes a screen.
	If games are made with this virtual world's tech, we could even go directly inside of games.
	Good point... In fact, one could say the situation we're in is already a sort of game.
	A game where you can live as you please in a virtual world... This game could be a huge hit.
	How interesting. If this world became a game, could I play from my home country?
	Oh...that's right.
	Chiaki?
	You know how in modern games, you connect with players from around the world in real time?
	If this world became a game...
	No matter where we end up after we graduate, we could all meet together here.
	Oh, that's right... And this entire virtual world feels so real...
	Meeting here wouldn't be all that different from meeting in the real world.
	That's wonderful! Even back in my kingdom I'd be able to meet with everyone at any time!
	Sorry, that's just conceptual. Developing it would take some serious time.
	And the equipment to enter the virtual world isn't something that's easy to acquire.
	Oh, that's right... It'd require a computer room and enough capsules for everyone.
	As a trial, why don't I prepare an equivalent facility in my country?
	Huh?
	I'll call upon my kingdom to work alongside Hope's Peak Academy.
	It'd also be a worthwhile experiment for playing between distant lands!
	Ohh... If that's a reality, a new generation of online games could begin on this island.
	But any further conceptualization should be done by people like Sonia and Kazuichi, not me.
	Nah. If it's gonna be a game, I think your input would be plenty necessary.
	Wanna try talking it over now? I bet Kazuichi would be plenty willing at least.
	Alright. Once this tournament is over, let's all get together to discuss it.
	All I've ever done is *play* games. If I could lend a hand in making one, I'd be thrilled.

	My Future... (Hiyoko Saionji)
	Weh, please calm down. What's gotten into you today?
	What are you talking about? I'm calm as the breeze. I'm even taking pig barf out for her walk.
	Go on, spin around three times and oink for me.
	Weeeeeeh...
	Ooh la la. I seem to have walked in on something rather spicy.
	Wh-Whoa, girls... Save the kinky stuff for the bedroom, would ya?
	Get your filthy heads out of the gutter, you wastes of human flesh!
	H-Help me out here, please... There's nothing I can do about this...
	Hiyoko is in a terrible mood today, but she won't tell me what's the matter...
	Just another day for the banana gremlin, no? Must be rough not being me and having no composure.
	Non non, Hiyoko has a very *vibrant* personality. She's never one mood for more than a few minutes.
	Ugh, you're disgusting. Don't act like you understand me, you worthless gnat.
	Hnnnngh, step on me more, mama!
	I'm not in a bad mood, just...exhausted with the world because of an article Monokuma showed me.
	It said I was on the decline, that my fans are all moving on to something else. Bunch of garbage.
	Wh-What a terrible thing to say!
	I see, I see. Leave it to a real prodigy like myself to see through to the truth!
	Your fans are on the decline because they're all fuckin' pedos! Hyah-hahahaha!
	Shut your nasty mouth! My fans appreciate my dancing, not my size!
	You never know.
	Huh? And why's *that*?
	Not every single customer who eats my food does it exclusively to appreciate my cooking.
	To some people, going to a restaurant is about the atmosphere, or being with friends.
	I can't control the way people approach my work, and I don't think that's a bad thing either.
	That's how it is for everything, dancing included. Every viewer has their own reason for being there.
	Ugh... I thought you would get it.
	I, um... We don't actually know if you lost any fans, or what their reasons were for anything...
	...so worrying about it won't change anything. N-Not that anyone should ever listen to me...
	At least you understand that much! The pig barf finally realized she's vomit!
	Damn, y'all're even kinkier than I thought.
	Ahhhn, I wish that was me!
	Hmph. Don't think I didn't think of that too, Teruteru. I'm not *that* stupid.
	No, it doesn't matter what reasons people have for watching, and they can stop whenever they want.
	But I'm confident that my dancing has bewitched every single person who's seen it, for any reason.
	Hiyoko...
	Anyone who tries to stop coming to my shows...
	...will suffer extremely painful withdrawal until they come crawling back to see me again.
	Eeeeeep! Wh-What terrifying symptoms!
	Mhmhm, and that's what makes you beautiful. Doesn't matter if you're big or small!
	Aaah, I feel so much better. I think I'll dump ants on pig barf here and squish them into her!
	Weeeeeeeeeh!
	I prefer food on naked women instead of insects.
	Wh-Why do the nastiest ones always have to be exhibitionists too?
	Out of my sight before I squish your filthy eyes!

	My Future... (K1-B0)
	Then Momotaro obtained the treasure of Onigashima and returned home to his grandparents...
	And they all lived happily ever after.
	And there you have it! The world's first dramatic reading under the starts by a genuine robot!
	Yeah, it wasn't half bad! Being able to watch the stars all the while was a darn nice touch!
	Of course a robot would be articulate. That's about the best thing I can say about it.
	And why choose the same story as Sakura and the others? I practically fell asleep halfway in!
	I heard that Byakuya was responsible for the acting direction... D-Did I mishear that?
	Ouch, you guys are brutal. I was hoping to have *positive* memories of our last days here.
	Even Shirokuma was able to act. How could I, an Ultimate, fall so short?
	Right, about that, uh...Shirokuma didn't exactly win any best actor awards himself.
	I directed Keebo, therefore this outcome falls on me as well. Evidently my talent was lacking.
	If anything, your teaching was *too* good for someone like me. It wasn't your fault, Byakuya.
	I wasn't able to entertain everyone solely due to my own lack of talent.
	No, I should have adapted my teaching method.
	A robot acting as a human... I suppose there are limits to my imposter talents after all.
	Makes sense. A human acting as another human at least has an idea of how the role should feel...
	But a robot acting as a human? Yeah, I could see that being a little more tricky.
	Do you think...I'm a lost cause?
	That's entirely up to you! It may be a challenge, but with the right approach I bet you can do it!
	The right approach...
	There's obviously differences between humans and robots. Compensate for that and you'll be golden!
	Like, y'know how Momotaro comes floating down the river in front of the old lady doing laundry?
	Would a robot even think about picking him up and eating him?
	Oh...you're right. I don't even eat in the first place, so I'd pay no mind to a peach!
	Exactly! That's the way you'd think. But the old lady is different!
	Don't just read the lines, read *between* them. Know the difference and pick up that peach.
	That way, I'm sure your acting will be a little more believable.
	Right... That's a good advice. I think I could do that!
	Even accustomed to becoming others, that's advice I couldn't give. Is this from your own experience?
	Nah. But what kinda hero would I be if I didn't give out advice to those in need!
	I'm so different from humans.
	No matter how hard I try, I doubt I'll ever understand everything about them.
	But learning what makes humans human, what makes me *me*, and valuing those differences...
	Our differences aside, I think I may be possible to bridge that divide.
	Indeed, surely that's one of your possibilities.
	Alright then! I'm going to give this dramatic reading one more shot!
	I'll put a lot of thought into the characters' actions and their motivations...
	I'll put the most persuasive performance I can! So everyone, please come and watch me again!
	Yeah! Sounds like a plan! Just be sure you do it under the stars again and I'm there!
	If you don't mind, allow me to make an appearance as well. I must reconsider the concept of acting.
	Of course. Let's become the best movie stars we can possibily be!
	Was...that the point of all of this?
